EMC Installation Roadmap for CX-Series and FC-Series Storage Systems
Solaris Installation Checklists
PowerPath Checklist
—
Existing Solaris Server and Existing
Storage System
This checklist assumes that the existing Solaris server and existing
storage system are already connected in a SAN or direct attach
configuration. Tasks highlighted with grey in the checklist should be
performed before the service provider arrives, except for the removal
of ATF or CDE, which you can have done by EMC Professional
Services.
CAUTION
!
EMC no longer supports ATF or CDE. Before you transition your
server from ATF or CDE to PowerPath, you must
◆ Back up your server configurations.
◆ Back up data on all storage systems connected to the server.
◆ Remove ATF or CDE, which EMC recommends that EMC
Professional Services do, especially if your server configuration
is complex. If you want to remove it yourself, you must use the
procedure in the Removing ATF or CDE Software Before
Installing Other Failover Software document (P/N 069001173),
which is on the Powerlink website with this roadmap.
Simply removing ATF or CDE using the uninstall procedure in
the Solaris ATF administrator’s guide or the Solaris utilities
administrator’s guide may not return the server to it original
state, and may result in lost data.
If you are transitioning a SunCluster or VERITAS Cluster Server
(VCS) configuration from ATF or CDE to PowerPath, perform the
procedure in the checklist on each node in succession. While you
perform the procedure on one node, you can leave the cluster services
active on the other node, provided failure in a path to the storage
system does not occur.
