EMC Client installation and checking

Quick guide to install and how to check that EMC SAN is attached and working

Solaris

Installing

==========================================================

Install Emulex driver/firmware, san packages (SANinfo, HBAinfo, lputil), EMC powerpath

Use lputil to update firmware

Use lputil to disable boot bios

Update /kernel/drv/lpfc.conf

Update /kernel/drv/sd.conf

Reboot

Install ECC agent

Note: when adding disks on different FA had to reboot server?

List HBA's:

/usr/sbin/hbanyware/hbacmd listHBAS (use to get WWN's)

/opt/HBAinfo/bin/gethbainfo (script wrapped around hbainfo)

grep 'WWN' /var/adm/messages

HBA attributes:

/opt/EMLXemlxu/bin/emlxadm

/usr/sbin/hbanyware/hbacmd HBAAttrib 10:00:00:00:c9:49:28:47

HBA port:

/opt/EMLXemlxu/bin/emlxadm

/usr/sbin/hbanyware/hbacmd PortAttrib 10:00:00:00:c9:49:28:47

HBA firmware:

/opt/EMLXemlxu/bin/emlxadm

Fabric login:

/opt/HBAinfo/bin/gethbainfo (script wrapped around hbainfo)

Adding Additional Disks:

cfgadm -c configure c2

Disk available:

cfgadm -al -o show_SCSI_lun

echo|format

inq (use to get serial numbers)

Labelling:

Partitioning:

vxdiskadm

Filesystem:

newfs or mkfs

Linux

Installing

***********************************************************************

Install Emulex driver, san packages (saninfo, hbanyware), firmware (lputil)

Configure /etc/modprobe.conf

Use lputil to update firmware

Use lputil to disable boot bios

Create new ram disk so changes to modprobe.conf can take affect.

Reboot

Install ECC agent

List HBA's:

/usr/sbin/hbanyware/hbacmd listHBAS (use to get WWN's)

cat /proc/scsi/lpfc/*

HBA attributes:

/usr/sbin/hbanyware/hbacmd HBAAttrib 10:00:00:00:c9:49:28:47

cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/info

HBA port:

/usr/sbin/hbanyware/hbacmd PortAttrib 10:00:00:00:c9:49:28:47

HBA firmware:

Lputil

Fabric login:

cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/state

Disk available:

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

fdisk -l |grep -I Disk |grep sd

inq (use to get serial numbers)

Labelling:

parted -s /dev/sda mklabel msdos (like labelling in solaris)

parted -s /dev/sda print

Partitioning:

fdisk

parted

Filesystem:

mkfs -j -L /dev/vx/dsk/datadg/vol01

PowerPath

HBA Info:

/etc/powermt display

Disk Info:

/etc/powermt display dev=all

Rebuild /kernel/drv/emcp.conf:

/etc/powercf –q

Reconfigure powerpath using emcp.conf:

/etc/powermt config

Save the configuration:

/etc/powermt save

Enable and Disable HBA cards used for testing:

/etc/powermt display (get card ID)

/etc/powermt disable hba=3072

/etc/powermt enable hba=3072
