Configuring StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 1000

This section provides the steps required to install and configure MSA1000-based

storage arrays.

1. Verify that you have a supported server with a supported Linux operating

system installed prior to configuring your MSA1000.

2. Verify that a supported Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is installed.

3. Install the MSA1000 Storage System in a rack, following instructions found

in your rack documentation.

4. Connect the Fibre Channel HBA and the Fibre Channel switches or hub by

using the appropriate length of Fibre Channel cable.

5. Apply power to all the MSA1000 controllers.

6. Insert the Modular Smart Array 1000 Support Software CD in your CD-ROM

drive.

7. If your server does not automatically mount your CD-ROM, you must

manually mount the CD-ROM. For example:

# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

8. Change directories using the following command:

# cd /mnt/cdrom/LINUX

9. Install RPM based on the OS version that this system is running. For example:

# rpm -ivh qla2x00-x.x.x-x.Redhat-2-7.i386.rpm

RPM installs some system changes necessary for the MSA1000 storage

system and installs the HBA driver.

10. Change directories using the following command:

# cd /LINUX/onacuxe

11. Issue the following command to install cpqacuxe:

# rpm –ivh cpqacuxe-XXX.i386.rpm

Note: Replace X with the current version of the

cpqacuxe

for Linux or the current

version of

qla2x00

12. Start the daemon by executing the following command:

# /usr/sbin/cpqacuxe
