PowerPath Checklist — New Linux Server and Existing Storage System

Linux Installation Checklist

Storage System
Configure
If the server will use an
existing
Storage Group, use Navisphere
Manager to connect the server to
the Storage Group.
Navisphere Manager
administrator’s guide
and online help
If the server will use a
new
Storage Group, use Navisphere
Manager to create RAID Groups,
bind LUNs, create the Storage
Group, and assign LUNs to the
Storage Group.
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.

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.
