Examining the Current Configuration
If you have just performed the steps outlined in Chapter 2 or Chapter 3, then the basic
cluster configuration conforms to the requirements listed in this section. You may
skip this and the next section and proceed directly to “Installing Secure Path
Software.” Otherwise, be sure that the existing single path configuration conforms to
Secure Path requirements. The requirements include:
1. Verifying that there is a serial connection to the storage subsystem and that you
can communicate to it through SWCC
2. Launching the event log viewer and verifying that the Fibre Channel Setup
Utility is installed and that it reports the expected number of logical units
3. Checking the event log viewer to ensure that there are no error events reported by
the host bus adapter or Fibre Channel Setup Utility
4. Verifying that the operating system (boot) disk is not part of the storage
subsystem
5. Verifying that none of the volume sets uses software RAID or extended volumes
6. Verifying that each server has the TCP/IP protocol installed and that each server
is available on the network by pinging it
