PowerPath Configurations for Linux
Read this section if you are installing a Linux PowerPath
configuration with a new or existing server and a new or existing,
storage system. A new and existing server and a new and existing
storage system are defined as follows:
new server - A server running Linux that is not connected to any
storage system.
existing server - A server running Linux that is already connected to
one or more storage systems.
new storage system - A CX300, CCX500, or CX700 storage system
that has the factory default settings and has never been connected to a
server.
existing storage system - A CX200, CX300, CX400, CX500, CX600,
CX700, FC4500, or FC4700-Series storage system that is already
connected to one or more servers and is in a Navisphere domain.
All CLARiiON storage systems connected to the server must be CX200,
CX300, CX400, CX500, CX600, CX700
, FC4500, or FC4700-Series storage
systems. If any other type of CLARiiON storage system is connected to the
server, the server cannot run PowerPath.
