1. ArrayGUIde, DiskArray, DasEmail – (DAS Storage Systems)
1.1 Functions
Note: For ATF (Application-Transparent Failover) software operations refer to the ATF
SRB (reference 86 A2 70WF).
The DiskArray package supports the DAS 3500, DAS 3200, DAS 2900. It contains:
– basic software to support the subsystem
– dassmgr software to monitor the DAS
– flare95602_das2900.bin: LIC firmware for the DAS 2900
– flare95602_das3200.bin: LIC firmware for the DAS 3200
– flare94602_das3500.bin: LIC firmware for the DAS 3500
– shell scripts for reconfiguration at system level.
There are two possibilities for monitoring the DAS 3500, DAS 3200, DAS 2900 Models:
1. dassmgr which can run on any system console. You need to connect the RS232
interface of one SP to your system. dassmgr
is automatically installed with the
DiskArray lpp, but you do not need to configure it if you choose to monitor the DAS with
ArrayGUIde.
2. ArrayGUIde which can only run on Graphical terminals. The Graphical terminal does not
need to be directly connected to the system. You do not need to install ArrayGUIde if
you choose to monitor the DAS with dassmgr
.
1.2 Requirements and Compatibility
• ArrayGUIde requires the minimum flare Firmware versions to be previously installed:
8.55 (DAS 2900 and 3200) or 9.45 (DAS 3500).
• ArrayGUIde requires ATF release 2.1.7 if this software is installed on the system.
