1-2 Global Array Manager Server Software Manual

Introduction

Global Array Manager Server Overview

Global Array Manager (GAM) Server Software is used to manage disk array subsystems attached to a Mylex Disk Array Controller.

Monitoring Functions

The Global Array Manager Server software collects and disseminates information on disk array status and resource utilization. The Global Array Manager (GAM) and SANArray Manger (SAM) Client software organize this information through a graphical display.

SNMP/DMI Support

The Global Array Manager Server software includes SNMP and DMI support, allowing stand-alone monitoring of performance and fault information. This is useful if a management package is already in use. Support for these protocols includes “read only” functions.

Management Functions

The Global Array Manager Server software executes the management instructions the GAM/SAM Client specifies. GAM Server software offers fault management, reliable messaging, and superior operating system support. GAM/SAM Client software manages or performs maintenance on individual disk arrays and drives (with the appropriate authentication), again through means of the graphical user interface.

Configuration Functions

GAM/SAM Client software provides disk array configuration and remote TCP/IP support functions. If your goal is monitoring and simple maintenance or messaging, Global Array Manager Server is sufficient for these tasks.

Loading Global Array Manager Server Manually

The Global Array Manager 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...)

Loading Global Array Manager Server Automatically

The Global Array Manager Server can be custom-made to start up automatically on a NetWare server when it is restarted after installation of Global Array Manager. This capability will be available because the following two files will be automatically copied into AUTOEXEC.NCF, at the end of the file, during the GAM installation.

load gamserv

load gamevent -h <IP Address or Name of Client>

(repeat...)

Remember that you will need to edit the IP address line. See Enabling the

Event Comment Line in the next section to add an IP address line, as needed.

Enabling the Event Comment Line

To enable event notification to GAM Clients, both local and remote, add “-h DNS_NAME” or “-h IP_NUMBER” to the end of the “load gamevent” line for each GAM 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

Manual No. SA67-0048-00 2-5

DMI CI Manual Configuration

Optional DMI CI Parameters

After the installation of the DMI CI subcomponent, you have the option to specify an additional parameter, known as the GAM IPC Port. The default IPC port number for the GAM Server driver and Mylex CI port is 43162; however, this number may be modified.

The IPC Port number for the GAM Server driver and the Mylex CI port number must match for proper communication. Therefore, if either the GAM Server driver port 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 <Ipc port>]

-p is to specify 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 will be used.

Running Global Array Manager Server

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

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

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

The automatic installation procedure for Windows NT’s Global Array Manager Server loads the GAM Server component as a “service.” This service will load automatically at system startup. No special procedure is required to run the GAM Windows NT Server.

To verify that this service has started, go to

Start->Settings->Control Panel->Services. Find the Mylex GAM Server

name. The word “Started” should appear beside it.

Troubleshooting Server Software Installation

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

displayed or an error is encountered when trying to connect to a server.

Check: Is the Ethernet cable connection good? Check: Are the various port numbers set correctly? Check: Is the IP address of the Server correct? Check: Is TCP/IP set up correctly? Try Ping to find the server.

Problem: Global Array Manager Server does not load.

Check: Did all of the server files load to the destination directories?

Do you have sufficient disk space for the installation? A list of files needed for operation is given in Chapter 1. If necessary, reinstall the software.

DMI CI Manual Configuration

DMI CI files (also known as DMI files) are available for the Mylex Disk Array Controller running under Windows NT. The DMI CI will act as a general monitor to locate events such as hard disk status, driver identification, etc.

DMI CI files must be manually configured after they are copied into the server directory by the GAM server installation.

DMI is selected in the sub-component dialog box during the Global Array Manager Server installation if the DMI application such as Intel LDCM was installed. The DMI subcomponent can also be installed by itself via the server installation utility.

☛ Note

When installation is complete, see “Optional DMI CI

Parameters” at the end of this section. Use the SRVCCFG.EXE utility to configure the DMI files. You wil l need to run the following command line from the GAMSERV

directory to install the mdacci service manually:

srvccfg MLXDMISRV MYLEXDMI %SystemRoot%\system32\gamserv\mdacci.exe

At this point, you have registered the CI as a service. Now, you need to modify the dependencies of the DMI CI service to make sure the GAM driver and Windows DMI Service Provider can be launched before the DMI CI service at system boot time. This is done by entering the following command line:

srvccfg depend MLXDMISRV gamscm;Win32sl

N N

☛ Note

“gamscm” is the service name of the GAM Server/

Driver. “W in32sl” is the service name of the W indows

DMI Service Provider.

Manual No. SA67-0048-00 3-15

DMI CI Manual Configuration

DMI CI Files

There are three DMI CI files:

• MDAC.MIF

• MDACCI.EXE

•SRVCCFG.EXE

These files will be copied into the appropriate directory path during the GAM Server installation process:

• %SystemRoot%\system32\gamserv\mdac.mif

• %SystemRoot%\system32\gamserv\mdacci.exe

• %SystemRoot%\system32\gamserv\srvccfg.exe

If the GAM Server installation detects the system environment variable

(%win32dmipath%) created by Intel®’s LANDesk® Server Manager,

these files will also be copied into the following locations:

• %win32dmipath%\mifs\mdac.mif

• %win32dmipath%\bin\mdacci.exe

☛ Note

If you are using the Intel LANDesk Service Manager, you do not need to manually configure mdacci.exe. Intel’s application will take care of this.

Optional DMI CI Parameters

After the installation of the DMI CI subcomponent, you have the option to install an additional parameter, known as the GAM IPC Port. The default IPC port number for the GAM Server driver and Mylex CI port is 43162; however, this number may be modified.

☛ Note

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

3-16 Global Array Manager Server Software Manual

Windows NT

How to Specify the Parameter

You can specify the parameters in the system registry. After the installation of Mylex CI onto a WIN32 system, see the registry key as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MLXDMISRV

Follow these easy steps to specify the Mylex CI parameter:

1. Access the System Registry , locate the key “MLXDMISRV” according to the above path.

2. Add a key, “Parameters,” under “MLXDMISRV ”.

3. Add a key, “ExtraParameters,” under “Parameters.”

4. Add a DWORD value, “GamDriverPort,” under “ExtraParameters”, so you can specify the IPC port number by which the DMI CI component communicates with GAM driver, as done for -p in the NetWare command line in “Optional DMI CI Parameters” in Chapter 2.

☛ Note

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

7-6 Global Array Manager Server Software Manual

Appendix A

SNMP Installation,

Operation, and Definition

Introduction

The Global Array Manager includes a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent for the RAID controller and connected arrays. An SNMP-based management application (also known as an SNMP manager) can monitor and manage the disk arrays. An example of an SNMP management application is Hewlett-Packard’s Open View. The SNMP agent can be used to augment the Global Array Manager Client if you are already running an SNMP management application at your site.

SNMP Installation Overview

The installation of the SNMP agent is accomplished in several phases:

• Installing the agent software on the server

• Placing a copy of the management information base (MIB) in a directory which is accessible to the management application

• Compiling the MIB description file with the management application

SNMP Installation for NetWare

During installation of the Global Array Manager Server, the SNMP file was copied to its appropriate directory as shown in the table below. The file can also be copied to the server directory from a workstation’s floppy disk drive (with the appropriate NetWare access rights to the server directory).

Table A-1. NetWare SNMP File

Operating system Agent filename Server directory

NetWare GAMAGENT.NLM SYS:SYSTEM

Manual No. SA67-0048-00 A-1

S N M P

SNMP Installation for NetWare

Depending upon the SNMP management applicati on used , the MIB (an ASCII text file named MLXRAID.MIB) must be placed in a specific directory on the network management station running the management application. The MLXRAID.MIB file must be manually copied to this directory. For example:

Table A-2. Location for MIB

SNMP Application MIB location

OpenView \OV\MIBS NetWare NMS \NMS\SNMPMIBS\CURRENT

☛ Note

Your m anagement application may have a different target directory. Consult the management application’s user guide for the correct location.

Using the TRAPTARG.CFG File

The file, TRAPTARG.CFG, is an SNMP file that specifies all managers that are to receive SNMP trap messages generated by the SNMP agent (SNMP.NLM).

You will need to copy and edit TRAPTARG.CFG to direct the events to be logged into the etc/ directory. (See the traptarg.cfg file for more information.) Follow the steps below:

1. Copy TRAPTARG.CFG to this path: etc/traptarg.cfg

2. Edit the TRAPTARG.CFG file by adding either the logical (host) name, IP, or IPX address, which will be directly below Protocol UDP or Protocol IPX.

☛ Note

Leave white space preceding the address name.

Each address destination must be on a separate line. For example: Protocol UDP (logical (host) name or IP address) ServerN (N is the name or IP address of the server to receive trap data)

A-2 Global Array Manager Server Software Manual

SNMP Installation, Operation, and Definition

In this section, you can put SNMP managers that want to receive traps from the local node over UDP. Use either IP address or logical name. (If you use a logical name, be sure the name and its corresponding IP address appear in the sys:etc/hosts file.)

Protocol IPX (IPX address) In this section you can put SNMP managers that want to receive traps from

the local node over IPX. Managers can be identified by NetWare service name (a NetWare file server name, for example) or by an IPX address. To specify by IPX address, use the following format:

IPX Network Number : MAC Address c9990111 : 00001B555555

Starting the NetWare Agent

To start the agent, enter the appropriate command from the system console:

LOAD GAMAGENT ↵

About the NetWare Agent

The GAMAGENT NLM assumes that SNMP support for NetWare servers (SNMP.NLM) is already installed on the server.

The GAMAGENT NLM will attempt to autoload the SNMP.NLM. If the SNMP.NLM file is not present, the agent will not load.

The command to load the agent can be incorporated into the AUTOEXEC.NCF or other operating system startup files as well.

Manual No. SA67-0048-00 A-3

SNMP Installation for NetWare

Optional SNMP Parameters for NetWare

After the installation of the SNMP subcomponent, you have the option to specify an additional parameter, known as the GAM IPC Port. The default IPC port number for the GAM Server driver and Mylex SNMP Agent port is 43162; however, this number may be modified.

☛ Note

The IPC Port number for the GAM Server driver and

the Mylex SNMP agent port number must match for

proper communication. Therefore, if either the GAM

Server driver port number or the Mylex SNMP agent

port number is changed, be sure to change the other

port number to match.

How to Specify the Parameter

The parameter can be specified directly in the command line, for example:

load gamagent[-p <gam ipc port>]

☛ Note

If “GamIpcPort” is not specified, the default port

number (43162) will be used.

A-4 Global Array Manager Server Software Manual

SNMP Installation, Operation, and Definition

SNMP Installation for Windows NT or Windows 2000

To enable the SNMP agent for Windows NT or Windows 2000, configure Windows NT or W indows 2000 for TCP/IP and SNMP services. The Mylex SNMP Extension Agent file is GAMAGENT.DLL.

Install the SNMP Agent

If the SNMP agent is required, you should make sure that TCP/IP and Windows NT SNMP services are configured correctly.

☛ Note

The SNMP option will not be available unless the correct directory paths are configured during installation. See “Installing Global Array Manager Server Software,” “DMI CI Files,” and “Optional DMI CI Parameters,” in Chapter 3 for Windows NT and Chapter 4 for Windows 2000.

Optional SNMP Parameters for Windows NT or Windows 2000

☛ Note

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

SNMP Installation for Windows NT or Windows 2000

How to Specify the Parameter

You can specify the parameters in the system registry. A registry value, MLX_GAM, is created and can be found under the path shown below. After the successful installation of Mylex SNMP agent onto a Windows NT or Windows 2000 system, you will see the registry key as follows:

“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\

Services\SNMP\Parameters\ExtensionAgents”

Follow these easy steps to specify the Mylex SNMP agent parameter:

1. Access the system registry and locate MLX_GAM; for example, the value may be:

“SOFTWARE\Mylex\Global Array Manager\<CurrentVersion>”

2. Find the actual file path to the gamagent under the value of “Pathname” in the following path:

“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mylex\Global Array Manager

\<CurrentVersion>\Pathname”

3. Add a DWORD value, “GamIpcPort” under the <CurrentV ersion> key. Then, you can specify the gam driver ipc port number by which SNMP agent communicates with GAM driver. (See -p in the NetWare command line, as in “Optional SNMP Parameters for NetWare,” in the previous section.)

☛ Note

If “GamIpcPort” is not specified, the default port number (43162) will be used.

SNMP Installation, Operation, and Definition

SNMP Installation for UnixWare

To enable the SNMP agent for UnixWare, you need to configure UnixWare TCP/IP and SNMP services. Do this by enabling the usr/bin/gamagent file in the S99GAM file.

Install the SNMP Agent

If the SNMP agent is required, you need to enable (remove the # symbol) the usr/bin/gamagent file in the S99GAM file. This will send the traps to the SNMP viewer.

Optional SNMP Parameters for UnixWare

How to Specify the Parameter

The parameter can be specified in the S99GAM script file, which is used to start and stop the GAM server components. For example, in S99GAM file, the user can type:

/gamagent[-p <port icp number>] &

☛ Note

If “GamIpcPort” is not specified, the default port number (43162) will be used.
