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