AX100 Support Website

The AX100 support website contains the storage-system release notes

and the most recent versions of documents and of the interactive

troubleshooting trees. For information on accessing the AX100

support website, refer to the support information that shipped with

your storage system.

AX100-Series - Installing a Fibre Channel Storage System with a Direct Connection to a Solaris Server

Terminology

This document uses the terms new and existing to refer to storage

systems, servers, and host bus adapters (HBAs) as follows:

The document also uses SP to refer to a storage processor in the storage

system. An AX100SC storage system has only one SP, so it is called a

single-SP storage system. An AX100 storage system has two SPs, so it

is called a dual-SP storage system.

Existing HBA The host bus adapter (HBA) that is already installed in a server.

Existing server The server that is already configured for and connected to an

AX-Series storage system.

Existing storage system An AX-Series storage system that is already connected to a

server and configured for storage.

Host A computer that is or will be connected to an AX-Series storage

system. This computer is called either a

management host

or a

server,

depending on how it is or will be connected to the storage

system.

Management host A host from which you manage AX-Series storage systems. It

must be on the same LAN as the storage-system management

ports. A management host may also be server.

New HBA The HBA that was

not

already installed in the server.

New server A server that is not already connected to or set up for an

AX-Series storage system.

New storage system A storage system that is

not

connected to a server or configured

for storage. It is just as it was shipped to you.

Server A host that is already or will be connected directly to the Fibre

channel ports on a AX-Series storage systems. A server can

also be a management host.

Installing HBAs in the Server

❑A method for writing data to a virtual disk on the storage system

to test the path from a new HBA to the storage system. You can

download an I/O simulator (Iometer) from the following

website: http://www.iometer.org/.

Installing HBAs in the Server

For the server to communicate with the storage system through the

Fibre Channel ports, the server must have one or more supported

Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs). If the HBAs are already

installed, go to Installing or Updating the HBA Driver (page 8). Read

this section for all other configurations.

Before You Start

To complete this procedure, you need one or more supported Sun or

QLogic Fibre Channel HBAs with the latest supported BIOS and

driver. For information on supported HBAs, BIOS, and drivers, refer

to Supported Configurations in the "Technical descriptions" section on

the AX100 support website. Never mix Fibre Channel HBAs from

different vendors in the same server.

Install HBAs

CAUTION

HBAs are very susceptible to damage caused by static discharge

and need to be handled accordingly. Before handling HBAs,

observe the following precautions:

• Store HBAs in anti-static bags.

• Use a ground (ESD) strap whenever you handle HBAs.

• Never plug or unplug HBAs with the power on. Severe

component damage can result.

1. If the server is running, shut it down as follows:

a. Shut down the server’s operating system.

b. Power down the server.

c. Unplug the server power cord from the power outlet.

2. Remove the outer covers from the server so that you can access

the PCI bus slots.

For information on how to remove the covers from the server,

refer to the installation documentation supplied with the server.

3. Put on an ESD wristband, and clip its lead to bare metal on the

server’s chassis.

4. For the HBA you are adding, do the following:

a. If the server has a removable PCI card cage, remove it.

b. Locate an empty PCI bus slot.

c. Remove the filler panel from the slot and save it.

d. If your server has a low profile, replace the mounting bracket

on the HBA bracket with the low-profile mounting bracket

provided with your HBA.

e. Carefully align the HBA with the slot, and then firmly and

evenly press the HBA into the slot.

f. Secure the HBA to the slot with the screw or clip from the filler

panel.

g. If you have another HBA to install, repeat steps b through f.

h. If you removed a PCI card cage, replace it.

5. Replace the covers you removed from the server.

6. Remove the ESD wristband.

7. Plug the server power cord into the power outlet.

8. Power up the server.

You have completed the installation of the HBA.

AX100-Series - Installing a Fibre Channel Storage System with a Direct Connection to a Solaris Server

Installing or Updating the HBA Driver

The server must run a supported HBA driver. For information on the

supported HBA drivers, refer to Supported Configurations in the

"Technical descriptions" section on the AX100 support website.

If the server is already running a supported HBA driver, go to

Installing PowerPath on the Server (page 10).

Read this section for all other configurations.

Before You Start To complete this procedure, you need

❑The latest version of a supported HBA driver. You can download

the latest supported version and instructions for installing it from

the HBA vendor’s website.

Sun website

http://wwws.sun.com/software/download/allproducts.html

On this site, find the latest supported version of the Sun StorEdge

SAN driver.

QLogic HBA website

http://www.qlogic.com/go/emc_approved

The HBA driver is also on the installation CD that ships with the HBA.

This version may not be the latest supported version.

❑Any updates, such as hot fixes or patches, to the server’s

operating system that are required for the HBA driver version

you will install.

For information on any required updates, refer to one of the

following:

•Supported Configurations in the "Technical descriptions" section

on the AX100 support website

• The HBA vendor’s website (see above)

AX100-Series - Installing a Fibre Channel Storage System with a Direct Connection to a Solaris Server

Installing or Updating the HBA Driver

Install or Update the HBA Driver

1. Install any updates, such as hot fixes or patches, to the server’s

operating system that are required for the HBA driver version

you are installing.

2. After installing any updates, reboot the server.

3. Install the driver following the instructions on the HBA vendor’s

website.

4. If you installed the QLogic HBA driver, set the parameters in the

/kernel/drv/qla2xxx.conf file to the values required for

PowerPath as described in the HBA driver instructions.

5. Reboot the server when the installation program prompts you to

reboot.

Some driver updates may require you to reboot the server.

6. If the installation program did not prompt you to reboot, reboot

the server when the driver installation is complete.

AX100-Series - Installing a Fibre Channel Storage System with a Direct Connection to a Solaris Server

Installing PowerPath on the Server

For all configurations you must install PowerPath®on each server that

you will connect to the storage system. PowerPath manages the data

paths between the server and storage system.

If PowerPath is already running on the server and you do not need or

want to upgrade to a higher version, do one of the following:

◆For a new AX100SC (single-SP) storage system, go to Unpacking

the Storage System (page 19).

◆For a new AX100 (dual-SP) storage system, go to Installing the

UPS (AX100 Only) (page 18).

◆For an existing storage system (that is, one already connected to

another server), go to Connecting the Storage System to the Server

(page 50).

Before You Start

To complete this procedure, you need to

❑Locate the PowerPath for Solaris CD that shipped with the

storage system.

❑In the /etc/system file, make sure the timeout value is set to 60

seconds. This minimizes path failover time without

compromising online storage-system microcode or base code

upgrades. The entry must be a hexadecimal number:

set ssd: ssd_io_time = 0x3C

❑Optionally, configure the host to send warnings to the console

instead of just to the log file:

a. Add the following line to the /etc/syslog.conf file:

localx.Warn /dev/sysmsg

where

is a value that is not used by any other local setting

in /etc/syslog.conf.

For example:

local0.Warn /dev/sysmsg

The separator between localx.Warn and /dev/sysmsg must be a tab

character.
