EMC Installation Roadmap for CX-Series and FC-Series Storage Systems
Linux Installation Checklist
13 Server
Make target SPs
available
❑
If you did not reboot the server in step 12, reboot the server now. Linux documentation
❑
Checkpoint - Use Navisphere Manager’s Connectivity Status dialog box
to verify that each HBA is registered with the storage system.
Navisphere Manager
administrator’s guide
and online help
❑
Checkpoint - Make sure the /proc/scsi/scsi directory has entries for
LUNZs.
Note: LUNZs are required to register the server HBAs with the storage
system because LUNs have not be configured yet.
Linux documentation
❑
Checkpoint - Make sure the file for the HBAs, in the /proc/scsi directory,
has entries for the expected targets (HBAs).
14 Storage System
Configure
❑
Use Navisphere Manager to set general storage-system properties. Navisphere Manager
administrator’s guide
and online help
❑
Use Navisphere Manager to create RAID Groups, bind LUNs, create
Storage Groups, and assign LUNs to Storage Groups.
❑
Use Navisphere Manager to connect the server to a Storage Group
❑
Reload the driver (if the driver is loaded as a module) or reboot the server
(if the driver is static to the kernel) so that Linux recognizes the LUNs.
Now the LUNs in the Storage Group look like any other disks in the server.
HBA documentation
(see URL on page 3-4)
❑
Checkpoint - Make sure all LUNs have entries in the /proc/scsi/scsi
directory and in the file for the HBAs in the /proc/scsi directory.
If any LUN entries are missing from the file, verify the zoning.
