33Secure Path v3.0C for Linux and Linux Workgroup Edition Installation and Reference Guide
Configuring StorageWorks MA8000/EMA12000 RAID arrays
This section provides the steps to install and configure HSG80-based storage
arrays.
Caution: If you are installing Secure Path on an existing RAID storage system,
stop all I/O to the RAID system and skip steps 1 and 2 below. For each RAID
system in a production environment being converted to Secure Path
operation, also make sure that all users have logged off the Linux servers.
Follow normal procedures to back up the storage systems before proceeding.
1. Unpack the RAID system and install the PCMCIA cards in the controllers.
2. Power on the
RAID system. Allow the cache batteries to charge, if necessary,
before proceeding.
3. Establish a serial connection to the RAID storage system, and use the CLI
utility to configure the RAID system and create storagesets, as required.
Caution: Before proceeding, allow initialization of the storagesets to
complete.
Note: Secure Path installation requires that at least one LUN be configured on the
RAID storage system, but a complete disk/device configuration is strongly
recommended. Additionally, the units must be visible to at least two paths from the
Linux server.
