HP StorageWorks Simple SAN Connection Manager user guide 11

1Introduction

Simple SAN Connection Manager is a GUI-based management application for basic handling of SAN components such as host bus adapters (HBAs), switches, and storage arrays (also referred to as “subsystems” in this guide). For managing storage arrays, it uses Microsoft’s Virtual Disk Service (VDS). Simple SAN Connection Manager provides simplified storage management for VDS-compliant storage devices in a single, integrated, wizard-based user interface.

This user guide is your key to learning and using all of the functionality that Simple SAN Connection Manager offers for streamlining storage management by leveraging the VDS in Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008.

IMPORTANT: Simple SAN Connection Manager version 2.10 and later can manage HP StorageWorks

8/20q Fibre Channel Switches with active transparent router ports (TR_Ports); however, Simple SAN Connection Manager cannot manage or discover remote switches or devices in the remote fabric. The Physical Connection map (see “Viewing a Physical Connection map” on page 43) displays the remote fabric as a grayed-out switch, but Simple SAN Connection Manager cannot manage the switch. To present logical unit numbers (LUNs) to remote devices, use the QuickTools web applet and the storage management interface.

Simple SAN Connection Manager version 2.00 and earlier does not support the management of fabrics that include HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switches with active TR_Ports, and may disrupt communication between the HP StorageWorks 8/20q and the remote fabric. If you intend to manage the SAN using Simple SAN Connection Manager, be sure you are using version 2.10 or later.

What’s in this guide

This introductory chapter of the HP StorageWorks Simple SAN Connection Manager user guide describes the new features and hardware and software requirements for Simple SAN Connection Manager.

Information in the rest of this guide is organized as follows:

• “Installing, upgrading, and removing Simple SAN Connection Manager,” page 15, provides

instructions for installing the product initially, upgrading from an earlier product version, and removing the product from a system.

• “Getting started,” page 29, describes the user interface (application window, menu bar, and toolbar),

explains how to use the help system, and walks you through the steps for launching the application and performing initial setup of your storage array and switch.

• “Viewing maps, events, and configurations,” page 43, provides procedures for viewing the Physical

Connection map, LUN Assignment map, and the application event log. It also describes how to save a SAN configuration and compare a newer configuration to a saved one.

• “Managing switches,” page 49, provides procedures for viewing network and switch properties,

viewing zoning information, updating switch firmware, and configuring IP security. It also describes how to set the switch default zoning, admin password, IP address, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) properties, symbolic name, domain ID, and domain properties.

• “Managing HBAs,” page 75, provides procedures for viewing HBA information, updating the HBA

Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) image and driver, creating an alias for an HBA, and manually entering Fabric Device Management Interface (FDMI) information.

• “Managing logical disks (LUNs),” page 83, provides procedures for viewing logical disk information

and for creating, deleting, and expanding logical disks. In addition, it describes how to assign and unassign a logical disk to a server, and to create an alias name for a logical disk.

• “Managing servers,” page 101, provides procedures for viewing server information, refreshing the

server list, setting the server agent password, and creating and managing partitions.

• “Managing storage subsystems,” page 115, provides procedures for viewing subsystem information,

managing storage subsystems, refreshing the subsystem list, creating an alias for a subsystem, and configuring a subsystem using a pre-defined template.

18 Installing, upgrading, and removing Simple SAN Connection Manager

To install the components required by Simple SAN Connection Manager on Linux:

1. Insert the installation CD into the CD-ROM drive of the server.

The installation CD should mount automatically in one of the following locations:

/media/cdrom/ /mnt/cdrom/ /media/cdrecorder/

If the installation CD is not mounted automatically, issue the following commands to mount the CD:

# mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

IMPORTANT: Under specific distributions, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL 5), the

installation CD is auto-mounted using the following CD label:

# /media/HpInstallx.x/

If this occurs, the CD may get mounted with the no execution flag, causing the installation script to fail. Installation failure may be indicated by the following error message:

# ./install_smb.sh

The following is returned:

bash: ./install_smb.sh: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

The workaround is to manually mount the installation CD. For example, if the CD was auto-mounted in /media/HpInstallx.x, issue these commands to unmount, and then remount the CD:

# unmount /media/HpInstallx.x # mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

If the unmount command fails with a busy warning, make sure that all applications and consoles that could be using the CD media are closed, and then try again.

2. Change directory to the linux directory. For example, if the installation CD is mounted in

/mnt/cdrom, issue the following command:

# cd /mnt/cdrom/HP_SSCM/linux/

3. Run the install_smb.sh script as follows:

# ./install_smb.sh

This will install the following components:

•QLogic FC HBA driver

• HP Array Configuration Utility

• QLogic SANsurfer agent, QLRemote (if possible, the installation program will also start the

SANsurfer agent, QLRemote)

HP StorageWorks Simple SAN Connection Manager user guide 19

4. If the following message appears at the end of the installation, you must restart the computer, otherwise,

continue with step 6:

New driver and qlremote installed but not active. For new driver and qlremote to be active either: Reboot the system (Mandatory in case of Boot From SAN) or Stop all the applications using QLogic driver. Unload QLogic driver by executing following command: # modprobe -r qla2XXX (ex. qla2300, qla2400) Reload new driver by executing following command: # modprobe -v qla2xxx Start qlremote as follows: # /etc/init.d/qlremote start Rebooting the system will automatically load new driver and start qlremote.

5. To install the Linux driver with Fabric Device Management Interface (FDMI) enabled (by default, FDMI is

disabled), issue the following command:

# modprobe -v qla2xxx ql2xfdmienable=1

6. To verify that the installation completed, check the FC HBA driver version:

a. To ensure that the driver is installed in the correct location, issue the following command:

# modinfo qla2xxx

The following is returned:

Filename: /lib/modules/2.6.9-55.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla2xxx.ko Version: 8.02.02 653675A771C3619AEEA4E9A

b. To verify that the driver is loaded, issue the following command:

# lsmod | grep qla2xxx

The following is returned:

qla2xxx_conf 303752 1 qla2xxx 982688 0 scsi_mod 445298 qla2xxx

c. To verify that the correct driver is loaded, issue the following command:

# cat /proc/scsi/qla2xxx/* | grep "Driver version"

The following is returned:

Firmware version: 3.03.25 IPX Driver version: 8.02.02-fo
