CHAPTER 1 Introduction This guide provides instructions for installing Sun StorEdge SAN 4.0 Release software components. Hardware components include Fibre Channel switches, Fibre Channel host adapters, and storage devices and enclosures. The software components include drivers bundled with the operating system, firmware for the switches, management tools for the switches and storage devices, volume managers, if needed, and other administration tools.
Features, Benefits, and Products This version of the Sun StorEdge SAN product delivers a large high-performing SAN, with native fabric host connectivity, improved manageability, an integrated multipathing solution (Sun StorEdge Traffic Management software), and support for a variety of new hardware and software products. SAN 4.0 Device Names Longer, device names in this release require additional planning.
On-Demand Node Creation The number of storage devices that can be attached to a host can grow to the thousands with the advent of SANs with native Fabric connectivity. Probing all these devices at boot time and creating device nodes can increase the boot time greatly. In addition, a host might not need access to all of the storage devices it can access. The Sun StorEdge SAN 4.0 Release software no longer creates device nodes for every storage device attached.
FCIP can be used in any supported topology and can be used for traditional IP applications and IP file access at the same time. Simultaneous SCSI and IP traffic in the same switch zone is not currently supported. Support for More, Heterogeneous Storage Devices Block, sequential, and file access protocols are supported with this product.
CHAPTER 2 Switch Activation This chapter contains the procedures for bringing the new Sun StorEdge SAN 4.0 Release software onto the network. For more details about the switch, refer to the documentation delivered with your switch. Overall Installation Order Use this manual, the Sun StorEdge SAN 4.0 Release Configuration Guide, and the documentation that came with your switch. 1. Install the Solaris patch cluster on the host. 2. Install the SAN 4.0 packages and patches (including HBA drivers). 3.
Configuring the Switch Ethernet Port Note – The following RARP instructions apply to the Sun switch only. Brocade switch setup procedures can be found in the Brocade SilkWork® 3800 Hardware Reference Guide, 53-0001576-03, available on the CD that came with the switch. Sun StorEdge Switch The IP address of the switch is set to the default value of 10.0.0.1. You can change this default IP address using the Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP), or the switch management GUI supplied with your switch.
# ls /etc/ethers 3. If you find the file, create the /etc/ethers.SAV backup file: # cp -p /etc/ethers /etc/ethers.SAV 4. Back up the affected management station configuration files: # cp -p /etc/nsswitch.conf /etc/nsswitch.conf.SAV # cp -p /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.SAV 5. On a host connected to the same subnet as the switch, edit the /etc/ethers file by adding the MAC address and switch name.
8. Determine whether the RARP daemon is running by typing: # ps -eaf | grep rarpd 9. If RARP is not running, start the RARP daemon in the Solaris software environment by typing: # /usr/sbin/in.rarpd -ad The IP address will now automatically download to the switch after you install the switch and power on the system.
▼ To Make the IP Address Setting Permanent If you have a Sun switch, refer to the SANbox2-16 Installer’s/User’s Manual. See the the chapter on configuring a switch. For a non-Sun switch, see the documentation delivered with the switch.

CHAPTER 4 Installing and Upgrading the SAN Software After you install your hardware in the configuration you have decided upon, and after you have activated your switch(es), you must install the SAN software. You can obtain the Sun StorEdge installation script at the Sun Download Center. http://www.sun.com/software/download/ The installation script is a wrapper around pkgadd and patchadd. In the course of installation, it installs PatchPro 2.0.1. It honors your SVR4 install policies.
This utility will install PatchPro and all required support software. It is a wrapper around pkgadd and patchadd. It will honor your SVR4 install policies and will backout all changes if anything goes wrong. Patches may be applied in support of the installation. For that reason, this utility should be run on a quiet system with no active windowing, preferrably in single user mode. If reboot is required, you will see a message at the end of the installation.
It begins the installation and lists the packages and patches it installs.. Beginning installation ... Now installing supporting packages...

StorEdge SAN patch installation completed. Installation of Sun StorEdge SAN completed Successfully # 5. Reboot your system. If a previous version of a package is installed, the script installs the more up-to-date one. If the current version of the package is installed, the script does not reinstall it. If, for any reason, the script fails, all the installed packages and patches, except for PatchPro2.0.1, are removed. If the script fails, you may want to install the software manually. See Appendix A.

Glossary This glossary contains a definitions for terms used in this guide. Terms AL_PA Arbitrated Loop Physical Address. An AL_PA is an eight-bit value used to identify a device attached to a Fibre Channel arbitrated loop. Ap_Id Attachment Point Identifier. The port identifier for either a host or a storage device connected to a switch. For example, c0 identifies the host port and c0::50020f23000063a9 identifies an array.
FC-SW-2 G_Port Initiator Inter-Switch Link (ISL) N_Port Name Server Zones (NS zones) The second generation of the Fibre Channel Switch Fabric Standard defined by ANSI. Generic port; a port that can operate as either an E_port or F_port. A port is defined as a G_port when it is not yet connected or has not yet assumed a specific function in the fabric. Each host bus adapter port connection that provides a path to a storage device. An active initiator provides a path that is online.
Translative Loop Ports (TL_Ports) Zone Zoning Ports on the switch that allow private-to-public and public-to-private loop connectivity. TL_Ports present private devices to a fabric as if they were public so they can communicate with the off-loop devices, such as public devices connected to F_Ports and FL_Ports and private devices on other TL_Port loops. Supports the Sun StorEdge T3 arrays. Hosts recognize arrays that use TL_ports as fabric devices.
