A-6 Parallel Database Cluster Model PDC/O5000 for Oracle8i and Windows 2000 Administrator Guide Run and Validate the StorageWorks Command Console From All Storage Subsystems The Compaq StorageWorks Command Console (SWCC), as well as the Command Line Interface (CLI), is used to configure the hardware aspects of the shared disk drives connected to the HSG80 Array Controllers. SWCC and CLI allow you to configure RAID levels and to add or remove physical disk drives or storagesets to a cluster. Like Disk Management and Secure Path Manager, SWCC provides a graphical user interface presentation of the shared storage resources in the cluster. To run and validate the SWCC from each node, perform these steps: 1. From the SWCC, verify that all shared storage subsystems and their logical disks are visible and consistent across all nodes. 2. Verify that each storage subsystem's serial number for all shared disks is consistent across all nodes. 3. Verify that the RAID configurations of shared disks are consistent across all nodes. 4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for all nodes in the cluster. Perform Cluster Software and Firmware Checks Use the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD to perform these checks on the cluster software and firmware: 1. Verify that all necessary drivers have been installed. For example, verify that the correct driver for the host adapter is installed and running on all cluster nodes. Refer to "Installing Secure Path Software for Windows 2000 for the MA8000/EMA12000 Storage Subsystem" in Chapter 5, "Installation and Configuration" for driver installation guidelines. 2. Verify that that the version levels for all drivers, including those for KGPSA-BC or KGPSA-CB Host Adapters and HSG80 Array Controllers, are correct and consistent across all nodes.

Parallel Database Cluster Model PDC/O5000 for Oracle8i and Windows 2000 Administrator Guide
Run and Validate the StorageWorks
Command Console From All Storage
Subsystems
The Compaq StorageWorks Command Console (SWCC), as well as the
Command Line Interface (CLI), is used to configure the hardware aspects of
the shared disk drives connected to the HSG80 Array Controllers. SWCC and
CLI allow you to configure RAID levels and to add or remove physical disk
drives or storagesets to a cluster. Like Disk Management and Secure Path
Manager, SWCC provides a graphical user interface presentation of the shared
storage resources in the cluster.
To run and validate the SWCC from each node, perform these steps:
1.
From the SWCC, verify that all shared storage subsystems and their
logical disks are visible and consistent across all nodes.
2.
Verify that each storage subsystem
’
s serial number for all shared disks
is consistent across all nodes.
3.
Verify that the RAID configurations of shared disks are consistent
across all nodes.
4.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 for all nodes in the cluster.
Perform Cluster Software and Firmware
Checks
Use the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD to perform these checks
on the cluster software and firmware:
1.
Verify that all necessary drivers have been installed. For example, verify
that the correct driver for the host adapter is installed and running on all
cluster nodes. Refer to
“
Installing Secure Path Software for
Windows 2000 for the MA8000/EMA12000 Storage Subsystem
”
in
Chapter 5,
“
Installation and Configuration
”
for driver installation
guidelines.
2.
Verify that that the version levels for all drivers, including those for
KGPSA-BC or KGPSA-CB Host Adapters and HSG80 Array
Controllers, are correct and consistent across all nodes.
