Update instructions depend on the version of your OS: • For Solaris 9, install the latest Oracle StorEdge SAN software with associated patches. To locate the software, log into My Oracle Support: https://support.oracle.com/CSP/ui/flash.html 1. Select the Patches & Updates tab and then search for StorEdge SAN Foundation Software 4.4 (formerly called StorageTek SAN 4.4). 2. Reboot the host after the required software/patches have been installed. No further activity is required after adding any new LUNs once the array ports have been configured with the cfgadm -c command for Solaris 9. Examples for two FCAs: cfgadm -c configure c3 cfgadm -c configure c4 3. Increase retry counts and reduce I/O time by adding the following entries to the /etc/ system file: set ssd:ssd_retry_count=0xa set ssd:ssd_io_time=0x1e 4. Reboot the system to load the newly added parameters. • For Solaris 10, go to the Oracle Software Downloads website (http://www.oracle.com/ technetwork/indexes/downloads/index.html) to install the latest patches. Under Servers and Storage Systems, select Solaris 10. Reboot the host once the required software/patches have been installed. No further activity is required after adding any new LUNs, as the controller and LUN recognition are automatic for Solaris 10. 1. For Solaris 10 x86/64, ensure patch 138889-03 or later is installed. For SPARC, ensure patch 138888-03 or later is installed. 2. Increase the retry counts by adding the following line to the /kernel/drv/sd.conf file: sd-config-list="HP HSV","retries-timeout:10"; 3. Reduce the I/O timeout value to 30 seconds by adding the following line to the /etc/system file: set sd:sd_io_time=0x1e 4. Reboot the system to load the newly added parameters. Configuring Emulex FCAs with the lpfc driver To configure Emulex FCAs with the lpfc driver: 1. Ensure that you have the latest supported version of the lpfc driver (see http://www.hp.com/ storage/spock). You must sign up for an HP Passport to enable access. For more information on how to use SPOCK, see the Getting Started Guide (http://h20272.www2.hp.com/Pages/spock_overview/ introduction.html). 2. Edit the following parameters in the /kernel/drv/lpfc.conf driver configuration file to set up the FCAs for a SAN infrastructure: topology=2; scan-down=0; nodev-tmo=60; linkdown-tmo=60; Oracle Solaris 61
