Installing Secure Path
The Enterprise Virtual Array requires a multiple-path-only environment. Secure
Path for Sun Solaris provides this multiple-path environment. You must have
Secure Path installed on the host before any virtual disks can be recognized and
configured.
Installing the Host Kit
The Sun Solaris Kit V3.0B for Enterprise Virtual Array installs the supported
FCA drivers and the Storage System Scripting Utility (SSSU).
The HSV controllers can be configured with SSSU as an alternate to the
Command View EVA. SSSU allows a command line interface for issuing
commands directly to the controller. Complex configuration requests and
operations can be handled by either the Command View EVA or SSSU. Simple or
initial configuration requests can be handled easily through Command View
EVA, but repetitious and complex configuration steps can be scripted and
executed through the command line interface.
Note: The SSSU CAPTURE CONFIGURATION command (see the entry on the
CAPTURE CONFIGURATION command in the
HP StorageWorks Storage System
Scripting Utility Reference Guide
) is the only way to capture, save, and recreate a
storage system’s configuration.
See the
HP StorageWorks Storage System Scripting Utility Reference Guide
for more
information on using SSSU (included on the CD-ROM that came with this kit and
referred to as “SSSU Guide”).
