1-6 Introduction

Chapter 2 NetWare

2.1 Overview

This chapter describes installation, verification, and startup of the Global Array Manager Transition Tool Server software for Novell® NetWare. The software is provided on the web (www.lsilogic.com).

Note:

This chapter assumes that the network administrator for this site will perform these installation procedures.

2.2 Global Array Manager Transition Tool Server Software for NetWare 5.1 and 6

2.2.1 Installing Global Array Manager Transition Tool Ser ver Software

The Global Array Manager (GAM TT) Server software for NetWare has an automated installation utility which is run from the NetWare server console. This utility places the Global Array Manager Transition Tool Server application in the correct server directory and modifies the NetWare startup file, AUTOEXEC.NCF, to launch the application w hen the server is started.

Global Array Manager Transition Tool Server software can be downloaded from http://www.lsilogic.com/GAMTT. Once you download and unzip the GAM TT Server, use the following procedure for installation. Follow the steps below to install the GAM TT Server software.

1. At the console, type the following command and press Enter to run the installation.

: Mylex_520:gam\netware\install

Global Array Manager Server Software User’s Guide 2-1

Note: Do not type any extension. Type only ....\install.

2. The Global Array Manager Transition Tool Ser ver software installation screen displays.

– To install the GAM TT Server software, select Install. – To cancel the installation, select Exit. As the software is installed, the server’s AUTOEXEC.NCF file is

updated to start the Global Array Manager Transition Tool Server application whenever the server runs this file.

3. Press the Enter key at the Update AUTOEXEC.NCF message.

4. Installation is complete. Edit AUTO EXEC.NCF as follows: Modify the GAMEVENT and GAMEVLOG lines manually. After each

-h parameter, change the GAMEVENT line to include the IP addresses of the client systems you will use to record events. Modify the pathname and filename in the GAMEVLOG command line if you wish to. Refer to Appendix B, “GAMEVENT,” for more information.

5. Be sure to remove comment markers (such as the character #) from any command line which you intend to enable.

6. Save the modified AUTOEXEC.NCF and exit.

7. Create a user account calle d gamroot.

8. To load the GAM TT Server components, see Section 2.2.2.1,

“Loading Global Array Manager Transition Tool Server Manually,” page 2-3, after verifying correct server software installatio n.

2.2.2 Running Global Array Manager Transition Tool Ser ver

The Global Array Manager Transition Tool Server runs on the server and delivers the following information to the Global Array Manager Transition Tool Client:

• Monitors the controller(s) and disks in the server.

• Manages the controller(s) and associated disk subsystems in the

server.

2-2 NetWare

2.2.2.1 Loading Global Array Manager Transition Tool Server Manually

The Global Array Manager Transition Tool Server can be loaded manually from the NetWare server console prompt by typing the following two commands:

load gamserv ↵ load gamevent -h <IP Address or Name of Client> (repeat...)

2.2.2.2 Loading Global Array Manager Transition Tool Server Automatically

The Global Array Manager Transition Tool Ser ver can be custom-made to start up aut omatically on a NetWare server when it is restar ted after installation of Global Array Manager. This capability are available because the following two files are automatically copied into AUTOEXEC.NCF, at the end of the file, during the GAM TT installation.

load gamserv load gamevent -h <IP Address or Name of Client> (repeat...)

Remember that you must edit the IP address line. See Section 2.2.2.3,

“Enabling the Event Comment Line,” in the next section to add an IP

address line, as needed.

2.2.2.3 Enabling the Event Comment Line

To enable event notification to GAM TT Clients, both local and remote, add “-h DNS_NAME” or “-h IP_NUMBER” to the end of the “load gamevent” line for each GAM TT Client and uncomment the line. DNS_NAME and IP_NUMBER are the workstation’s Computer Name or IP Address. You can add up to 50 clients. To use “DNS _NAME,” the “DNS_NAME” must be listed in the “etc/hosts” file or “DNS_NAME” must be resolved by DNS lookup.

Usage:

load gamevent -h <IP Address or Name of Client> (repeat...)

For example:

load gamevent -h 192.128.2.3 -h 192.128.2.4

-h host1

Global Array Manager Transition Tool Server Software for NetWare 5.1 and 6 2-

2.2.3 Troubleshooting Server Software Installation

Problem: The message “Error in connecting selected server” is displayed or

an error is encountered when tryi ng to connect to a server.

Check: Is the IP address correct? Check: Is the server software, GAMSERV.NLM, installed and loaded on the

server(s)? Use the fo llo wi ng Ne tWare console command to verify that the GAMSERV module is loaded:

modules GAMSERV ↵

Check: Is the Ethernet connection good? Check: Is TCP/IP set up correctly? Try Ping to find the server.

Problem: Global Array Manager Transition Tool Server does not load.

Check: Is the installation complete? The files GAMSERV.NLM, GAMDRV.NLM,

and GAMEVENT . NLM should be contained in the SYS:SYSTEM directory of the server.

2.3 DMI CI Manual Configuration for Netware

Mylex DMI CI monitors the stat us of a Mylex RAID device and is a v ai lab le for Netware 5.1 and Netware 6. Mylex DMI CI is a component of GAM TT Server and is DMI 2.0 conformant. For information about the DMI standard, see the DMI 2.0 specification on http://www.dmtf.org.

DMI CI for Netware includes the following two files that GAM TT Server installs to your SYS:\SYSTEM directory:

• MDAC.MIF — the MIF file for Mylex DMI CI

• MDACCI.NLM — the Mylex DMI CI

2.3.1 DMI Service Provider

The DMI CI relies on the DMI Service Provider to report DMI information about Mylex RAID devices. Therefore, you must install and launch the appropriate DMI Service Provider before you use Mylex DMI CI.

2-4 NetWare

Mylex DMI CI requires a compatible DMI Service Provider to the service provider of SmartDMI™ Service Provider SDK v1.20 for Netware from Smart Technology Enablers, Inc. You can use the Smar tDMI™ SP from Smart Technology Enablers, Inc. From more information, visit the web site http://www.enablers.com.

Note:

In order for SmartDMI™ SP to launch properly on Netware 6, choose to install the IPX protocol and to enable the Transaction Tracking System (TTS) when you install the operating system. You can enable the TTS by creating a traditional NetWare volume.

2.3.2 Mylex RAID Component

When MDACCI starts, it checks to determine if the MIF database of the DMI SP contains the corresponding component. If the component is not there, MDACCI imports the component information from MDAC.MIF and creates a component, called “My lex RAID,” in the MIF database.

Note:

If you have previously launched MDACCI on your system, the “Mylex RAID” component may be in the MIF data base. However, when you upgrade GAM TT Server, the “Mylex RAID” component is not upgraded. Therefore, always remove this component from the MIF database before you upgrade the DMI CI or GAM TT Server. You can remove the “Mylex RAID” component through a DMI browser.

Be sure that MDACCI.NLM and the “Mylex RAID” component in the MIF database are consistent. Otherwise, you may get wrong DMI information.

2.3.3 Mylex DMI CI Management Information

The MDAC.MIF file describes Mylex DMI CI management information. This file defines 13 information groups. Groups with ID two through ten define Mylex RAID management infor mation. You can browse this information with a DMI browser or DMI management application.

Mylex DMI CI sends DMI indication when it detects any GAM TT events. The indication from DMI CI should be consistent with events from the GAM TT Event Forwarding utility (GAMEVENT.NLM) or the event logs from the GAM TT Event Logging utility (GAMEVLOG.NLM).

DMI CI Manual Configuration for Netware 2-5

2.3.4 Optional DMI CI Parameters

After the installation of the DMI CI subcomponent, you have the option to specify additional parameters, known as th e GAM IPC Port and the Update Time Interval.

The default IPC port number for the GAM TT Server driver and Mylex CI port is 43162; however, this number may be modified. The update time interval specifies the interval in seconds for the DMI CI to update the controller status, e.g. inserted or removed, to provide timely information. This is useful on a hot-plug or hot-swap enabled system. If not specified, the default value of 60 seconds is used.

The IPC Port number for the GAM TT Server driver and the Mylex CI port number must match for proper communication. Therefore, if either the GAM TT Server driver por t number or the Mylex CI port number is changed, be sure to change the other port number to match.

You can specify this parameter through the command line. The full command line format of Mylex CI is:

mdacci [-p <GAM IPC port>] [-t <update time

interval>]

-p specifies the IPC port number by which the DMI CI component

communicates with the GAM Driver.

Note:

If “GamIpcPort” is not specified, the default port number is used.

Note:

The value of update time interval can affect DMI CI performance. If the time interval is too small, the CI would occupy much of the system’s resources by updating the status too frequently. If the time interval is too big, the CI may not be able to report controller changes in time.

Therefore, be careful when changing this parameter.
