Installing and Configuring the RAID

System for Secure Path

This section provides the steps for installing and configuring your RAID

system(s) and Sun server(s) for Secure Path operation.

IMPORTANT: If this is an installation of Secure Path on an existing RAID storage system,

all I/O to the RAID system must be stopped and steps 1 and 2 below, skipped.

1. Unpack your RAID system and install the PCMCIA cards in the

controllers.

NOTE: Secure Path V2.0 for Sun Solaris requires StorageWorks ACS version 8.5F

software on the RAID storage system.

2. Power ON your RAID system. Allow the cache batteries to charge, if

necessary, before proceeding.

WARNING: For each RAID system in a production environment being converted

to Secure Path operation, make sure that all users have logged off the Sun

Solaris server(s) and that all I/O to the RAID system(s) has ceased. Follow

normal procedures to backup the storage systems before proceeding.

3. Establish a serial connection to the RAID storage system and use the

Command Line Interface (CLI) utility to configure the RAID system

and create storagesets, as described in Chapter 3 of the

RA8000/ESA12000 HSG80 Solution Software V8.5 for Sun Solaris 2.x –

Installation Reference Guide.

WARNING: Before proceeding, allow initialization of the storagesets to

complete.

NOTE: Secure Path installation requires that at least one LUN be configured on the

RA8000/ESA12000 system, but a complete disk device configuration is recommended.

4. Using the Command Line Interface (CLI), determine the configuration

of the RAID system with the following command:

HSG80 > show this_controller

HSG80> show other_controller

An example of the controller output follows: (line numbers appended for
