PowerPath Checklist — Existing AIX Server and New Storage

System

Tasks highlighted with grey in the checklist should be performed before the service provider arrives, except for the removal of

Application Transparent Failover (ATF) or CDE, which you can have done by EMC Professional Services.

!

◆

◆

◆

CAUTION

EMC no longer supports ATF or CDE. Before you transition your server from ATF or CDE to PowerPath, you must

Back up your server configurations.

Back up data on all storage systems connected to the server.

Remove ATF or CDE, which EMC recommends that EMC

Professional Services do, especially if your server configuration is complex. If you want to remove it yourself, you must use the procedure in the Removing ATF or CDE Software Before

Installing Other Failover Software document (P/N 069001173), which is on the Powerlink website with this roadmap.

Simply removing ATF or CDE using the uninstall procedure in the AIX ATF administrator’s guide or the AIX utilities administrator’s guide may not return the server to it original state, and may result in lost data.

PowerPath Checklist — Existing NetWare Server and Existing

Storage System

This checklist assumes that the existing NetWare server and existing storage system are already connected in a SAN or direct attach configuration. Tasks highlighted with grey in the checklist should be performed before the service provider arrives, except for the removal of ATF or CDE, which you can have done by EMC Professional

Services.

CAUTION







Simply removing ATF or CDE using the uninstall procedure in the NetWare ATF administrator’s guide or the NetWare utilities administrator’s guide may not return the server to its original state, and may result in lost data.

If you are transitioning a NetWare Cluster Service configuration from

ATF or CDE to PowerPath, perform the procedure in the checklist on each node in succession. While you perform the procedure on one node, you can leave the cluster services active on the other node, provided failure in a path to the storage system does not occur.

Solaris Installation

Checklists

This chapter contains checklists of the tasks required to install an

CLARiiON system in a configuration with a Solaris

™

server and

PowerPath or VERITAS DMP failover software.

PowerPath Configurations for Solaris

Read this section if you are installing a Solaris PowerPath configuration with a new or existing server and a new or existing storage system. A new and existing server and a new and existing storage system are defined as follows:

new server

- A server running Solaris and not connected to any storage system.

existing server

- A server running Solaris and that is already connected to one or more storage systems.




- CX300, CX400, CX500, CX600, CX700,

FC4500, or FC4700-Series that is already connected to one or more servers and is in a Navisphere domain.


CX400, CX500, CX600, CX700, FC4500, FC4700-Series, or FC5300 storage systems. If any other type of CLARiiON storage system is connected to the server, the server cannot run PowerPath.

Windows Installation

Checklists

This chapter contains checklists of the tasks required to install an

CLARiiON system in a configuration with a Windows® server and

PowerPath or VERITAS DMP failover software.

CX-Series refers to all the CX storage systems, except for the CX200LC.

PowerPath Configurations for Windows

Read this section if you are installing a Windows Server 2003 or

Windows 2000 PowerPath configuration with a new or existing server and a new or existing storage system.

A new and existing server and a new and existing storage system are defined as follows:

new server

- A server running Windows Server 2003 or Windows

2000 and not connected to any storage system.

existing server

- A server running Windows Server 2003 or

Windows 2000 that is already connected to one or more storage systems.


- A CX300, CX500, CX500i, or CX700 storage system that has the factory default settings and that has never been connected to a server.


- A CX-Series, FC4500, or FC4700-Series storage system that is already connected to one or more servers and is in a Navisphere domain.

All CLARiiON storage systems connected to a Windows server must be

CX-Series or FC-Series storage systems that are supported for that server. If any other type of CLARiiON storage system is connected to the server, the server cannot run PowerPath.

PowerPath Checklist — Existing Windows Server and Existing

Storage System

This checklist assumes that the existing Windows server and existing storage system are already connected in a Fibre Channel SAN, iSCSI network, or direct attach configuration. Tasks highlighted with grey in the checklist should be performed before the service provider arrives, except for the removal of ATF or CDE, which you can have done by EMC Professional Services.

!

◆

◆

◆

CAUTION







Simply removing ATF or CDE using the uninstall procedure in the Windows ATF administrator’s guide or the Windows utilities administrator’s guide may not return the server to its original state, and may result in lost data.

If you are transitioning a MicroSoft Cluster Server (MSCS) configuration from ATF or CDE to PowerPath, perform the procedure in the checklist on each node in succession. While you perform the procedure on one node, you can leave the cluster services active on the other node, provided failure in a path to the storage system does not occur.

DMP Checklist — New Windows Server and New Storage System

7-63


Using Windows DMP

When you use Windows 2000 DMP for CLARiiON, you need to take into account the following behaviors for LUNs under DMP management:

◆

After Windows 2000 reboots, one SP owns all the LUNs. If you want the other SP to own any LUNs, you must manually transfer ownership of (trespass) those LUNs to the other SP using the

Navisphere Manager or CLI.

◆

◆

◆

◆

Windows DMP for CLARiiON does not support auto-restore for

LUNs. If a failure occurs in a path to an SP, Windows DMP transfers ownership of LUNs to the other SP, but it does not transfer ownership back to the original SP when the path is repaired. The server does not lose access to the transferred LUNs.

If you want the original SP to access any LUNs for load balancing, you must manually transfer ownership of those LUNs back to the

SP using the Navisphere Manager or CLI.

If I/O is occurring between a server and a LUN, you cannot use

Navisphere to transfer ownership of the LUN from one SP to the other SP.

Adding more than 40 LUNs to a Storage Group may cause

Windows 2000 to crash.

The Navisphere Host Agent does not register host information with the storage system correctly.
