7. Follow the procedure described in the

HP XC System Software Administration Guide

to reimage the

node (by running the updateclient command).

Installing and Configuring the EVA3000 or EVA5000 SAN Storage Devices

The EVA3000 or EVA5000 SAN storage device is configured through a SAN appliance that provides a

browser interface for configuration. You do not need to install additional software on your cluster to allow

for the configuration of these devices. Information about the installation and configuration of the EVA3000

or EVA5000 is located at:

http://h10018.www1.hp.com/wwsolutions/linux/products/storage/storagearray.html

Note

The configuration procedure instructs you to present virtual disks as type Sun Solaris, which is incorrect.

Virtual disks must be presented as type Unknown.

Reboot all nodes connected to the SAN fabric to detect the volumes after device configuration is complete.

Making and Mounting the SAN Storage File Systems

After installing and configuring your SAN storage devices, follow this procedure to make and mount the

SAN storage devices onto your cluster:

1. Log in as the root user to the node on which the SAN controller (the HBA) was installed.

Note

If the SAN volume was not presented to the host before the host was booted, you must use the SAN

Management software to present the volume and reboot the host to proceed. If this is not done, any

attempt to mount the volume results in an error message that states it is not a valid block device.

2. View the following file to determine the devices that are related to the SAN volumes available to the

system:

# cat /proc/scsi/scsi

Command output looks similar to the following. In this example, lines containing Model: HSV110

indicate that the SAN was found on scsi2:

Attached devices:

Vendor: HP 36.4G Model: MAN3367MC Rev: HP05
