EMC Installation Roadmap for CX-Series and FC-Series Storage Systems
Linux Installation Checklist
12
Server
Make target SPs
available
❑
Add persistent bindings to the HBA driver configuration file.
Note:
You need the WWPN of each SP port for the bindings.
HBA documentation
(see URL on page 3-4)
❑
Reboot the server.
Linux documentation
❑
Checkpoint
- Use Navisphere Manager’s Connectivity Status dialog box
to verify that each HBA is registered with the storage system.
Navisphere Manager
administrator’s guide
and online help
❑
Checkpoint
- Make sure the
/proc/scsi/scsi
directory has entries for
LUNZs.
Note:
LUNZs are required to register the server HBAs with the storage
system because LUNs have not be configured yet.
Linux documentation
❑
Checkpoint
- Make sure the file
/proc/scsi
file in the directory for HBAs,
has entries for the expected targets (HBAs).
13
Server
Prepare Server
for PowerPath
❑
Make sure you have 128
sd
and
sg
devices in the
/dev
directory.
PowerPath for Linux
installation guide
❑
Ensure that the PowerPath driver’s major numbers (232-239) are not
already in use.
14
Storage System
Configure
❑
Use Navisphere Manager to set general storage-system properties.
Navisphere Manager
administrator’s guide
and online help
❑
Use Navisphere Manager to create RAID Groups, bind LUNs, create
Storage Groups, and assign LUNs to Storage Groups.
❑
Use Navisphere Manager to connect the server to a Storage Group.
❑
Reload the driver (if the driver is loaded as a module) or reboot the server
(if the driver is static to the kernel) so that Linux recognizes the LUNs.
Now the LUNs in the Storage Group look like any other disks in the server.
HBA documentation
❑
Checkpoint
- Make sure all LUNs have entries in the
/proc/scsi/scsi
file
and in the directory for the HBAs in the
/proc/scsi
directory.
If all LUN entries are missing from the file, verify the zoning. If only some
LUNs are missing, use Navisphere Manager to check that the LUNs are
assigned to the server’s Storage Group.
