HP Storage Essentials V5.1 Installation Guide Second Edition (Linux Release) (T4283-96055, November 2006)

Installing the CIM Extension for Sun Solaris220
1. SUNWlibC - Sun Workshop Compilers Bundled libC
2. SUNWlibCf - SunSoft WorkShop Bundled libC (cfront version)
3. SUNWlibCx - Sun Workshop Bundled 64-bit libC
IMPORTANT: Verify you have the latest patches installed. The patches can be obtained from the
Sun Microsystems Web site at http://www.sun.com.
You must have the following space:
• CIM Extension - The CIM Extension requires 90 MB of disk space.
• Logs - Make sure you have 100 MB for log files.
• File SRM - If you plan to have File SRM scan this host, make sure you have 220 to 230 MB for
each set of 1 million files.
• Backup Manager - Make sure you have at least 500 MB if you are using the host as a master
backup server in a large environment, for example 300 clients, 25,000 jobs and 500,000
images.
Network Port Must Be Open
The CIM Extension uses port 4673 by default to communicate with the management server. Verify
the network port is open. Refer to the documentation accompanying your Sun Solaris host for more
information. If you need to use a different port, see ”Permanently Changing the Port a CIM
Extension Uses (UNIX Only)” on page 308.
Verifying SNIA HBA API Support
The management server can only talk to host bus adapters (HBAs) that support the SNIA HBA API.
You can run the hbatest program, which is accessible from the CIM Extension CD-ROM. The
program, hbatest, lists the name and number for all HBA's that support the SNIA HBA API. In some
instances hbatest may report it cannot find an HBA driver even though an HBA driver is installed.
Try installing a different version of the HBA driver that is SNIA compliant.
IMPORTANT: (QLogic host bus adapters only) For Solaris SAN Foundation Suite, the firmware
version reported on the HBA is not the same as what is reported using luxadm. The management
server uses the result of the HBAAPI, while luxadm displays different values.
To run hbatest:
1. Go to the Solaris/tools directory on the CIM Extension CD-ROM.
2. Enter the following at the command prompt: ./hbatest
The program runs its diagnostics.
