Preface
This manual contains checklists of the tasks required to install an
EMC CX-Series or FC4700-Series storage system in a configuration
with a server running the AIX
NetWare
Windows
®
, Solaris™, Tru64® UNIX®, Windows Server™ 2003, or
®
2000 operating system.
As part of an effort to improve and enhance the performance and capabilities
of its product line, EMC from time to time releases revisions of its hardware
and software. Therefore, some functions described in this roadmap may not
be supported by all revisions of the software or hardware currently in use.
For the most up-to-date information on product features, refer to your
product release notes.

, HP-UX®, IRIX®, Linux®, Novell®
If a product does not function properly or does not function as described in
this roadmap, please contact your EMC representative.
AudienceThis roadmap is intended for use by system administrators and/or
service personnel during installation of CLARiiON
®
Fibre Channel
storage systems.
Readers of this roadmap should be familiar with the following topics:
◆The operating system running on the server that you are
installing.
◆How the operating system handles the device names of physical
disks (LUNs).

different configurations are
◆ PowerPath Configurations for AIX.................................................1-2
◆ PowerPath Checklist — New AIX Server and New Storage
Read this section if you are installing a AIX 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 AIX and not connected to any storage
system.
existing server - A server running AIX and that is already connected
to one or more storage systems.
new storage system - A CX300, CX500, or CX700 storage system that
has the factory default settings and has never been connected to a
server.
existing storage system - A CX300, CX400, CX500, CX600, CX700, or
FC4700-Series storage system that is already connected to one or
more servers and is in a EMC Navisphere
All CLARiiON storage systems connected to the server must be CX300,
CX400, CX500, CX600, CX700, or FC4700-Series storage systems. If any other
type of CLARiiON storage system is connected to the server, the server
cannot run AIX PowerPath.

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 Configurations for HP-UX
Read this section if you are installing an HP-UX® 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 HP-UX and not connected to any
storage system.
existing server - A server running HP-UX that is already connected
to one or more storage systems.
new storage system - A CX300, CX500, or CX700 storage system that
has the factory default settings and has never been connected to a
server.
existing storage system - A CX300, CX400, CX500, CX600, CX700,
FC4500, or FC4700-Series storage system that is already connected to
one or more servers and is in an EMC Navisphere® domain.
All CLARiiON storage systems connected to the server must be CX300,
CX400, CX500, CX600, CX700, FC4500, or FC4700-Series storage
systems. If any other type of CLARiiON storage system is connected to the
server, the server cannot run PowerPath.

For a 2-Gbit switch - One of the following:
• The left LED is green and the right LED is off, which indicates that a
1-Gbit SP port is logged in to the switch port.
• For a DS-xxB2 switch, both LEDs are green, which indicates that a

DMP Configurations for HP-UX
Read this section if you are installing an HP-UX VERITAS DMP
configuration with a new server and a new CX300, CX500, or CX700
storage system. A new server and storage system are defined as
follows:
New server - A server running HP-UX and not connected to any
storage system.
New storage system - A CX300, CX500, or CX700 storage system that
has the factory default settings and has never been connected to a
server.
