Dell EMC AIX ODM Installation This topic provides an introduction to Dell EMC ODM. The Object Data Manager (ODM) is a database of system and device configuration information that is integrated into the AIX operating system. Information is stored and maintained as objects with associated characteristics. The Dell EMC ODM support package contains a series of installable filesets. These filesets are used to update the AIX ODM with customized Dell EMC storage device configuration attributes. Dell EMC AIX ODM Installation Requirements This section outlines the requirements for Dell EMC AIX ODM installation. To meet the Dell EMC storage cluster requirements, you must install the correct Dell EMC ODM filesets to support Fibre Channel attachment to the PowerStore cluster. The minimum ODM and AIX operating system versions that are supported with PowerStore and native MPIO are: DellEMC.AIX.6.2.0.1.tar.Z -> For AIX 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, and VIOS versions 3.1.0 or later. PowerStore AIX ODM software package must be updated to version 6.2.0.1 before running PowerStore operating system 1.0.2.0.5.003 (or later) with PowerPath.

Dell EMC AIX ODM Installation
This topic provides an introduction to Dell EMC ODM.
The Object Data Manager (ODM) is a database of system and device configuration information that is integrated into the AIX
operating system. Information is stored and maintained as objects with associated characteristics. The Dell EMC ODM support
package contains a series of installable filesets. These filesets are used to update the AIX ODM with customized Dell EMC
storage device configuration attributes.
Dell EMC AIX ODM Installation Requirements
This section outlines the requirements for Dell EMC AIX ODM installation.
To meet the Dell EMC storage cluster requirements, you must install the correct Dell EMC ODM filesets to support Fibre
Channel attachment to the PowerStore cluster.
The minimum ODM and AIX operating system versions that are supported with PowerStore and native MPIO are:
DellEMC.AIX.6.2.0.1.tar.Z
-> For AIX 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, and VIOS versions 3.1.0 or later.
PowerStore AIX ODM software package must be updated to version 6.2.0.1 before running PowerStore operating system
1.0.2.0.5.003 (or later) with PowerPath. An RPQ for PowerPath is required for this configuration. PowerStore operating system
SP2 contains a change to the PowerStore cluster serial number that requires this new ODM package version. A reboot of the
connected AIX host is required for this change to take effect.
To install the Dell EMC fileset:
1.
Download the correct Dell EMC ODM fileset version and place it in the
/tmp/ODM
directory.
