Installation Manual

Installing the CIM Extension for SGI IRIX220
• IRIX version 6.5.22, limited to internal processors 27 and 35.
• IRIX version 6.5.20, patch required. Contact customer support for the patch.
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 IRIX 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 388.
Verifying SNIA HBA API Support
The management server can only talk to host bus adapters (HBAs) that support the SNIA HBA API.
The hbatest program, which is accessible from the CIM Extension CD-ROM, lists the name and
number for all HBAs 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: The Emulex driver does not contain the required library that is required by HP
Storage Essentials. You must install Emulex HBAnywhere software so that HP Storage Essentials can
discover hosts configured with HBAnywhere and hbatest can detect the Emulex host bus adapter.
1. Go to the Irix/tools directory on the CIM Extension CD-ROM2.
2. Enter the following at the command prompt:
./hbatest
The program runs its diagnostics.
SGI-branded QLogic SNIA adapters are built into the operating system kernel in IRIX 6.5.22 and
later. To find the library, enter the following at the command prompt:
# ls
The following is displayed:
/usr/include/sys/hba_api.h
Installing the CIM Extension
IMPORTANT: To upgrade the CIM extension, first remove the previous version before installing
the latest version. Builds 4.2 and later of the CIM extension are compatible with this build of the
management server. You must upgrade your CIM extension if you want the latest functionality, as
described in ”About Upgrading Your CIM Extensions” on page 189.
To install the CIM extension for IRIX:
1. Insert the CIM Extension CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Go to the CD-ROM by entering the following at the command prompt:
cd /CDROM
