Installing Powerpath On The Server - Dell EMC2 AX100 Series Installing Manual

Installing PowerPath on the Server

Installing PowerPath on the Server
Before You Start
AX100-Series - Installing a Fibre Channel Storage System with a Direct Connection to a Solaris Server
10
For all configurations you must install PowerPath
you will connect to the storage system. PowerPath manages the data
paths between the server and storage system.
If PowerPath is already running on the server and you do not need or
want to upgrade to a higher version, do one of the following:
For a new AX100SC (single-SP) storage system, go to
the Storage System
For a new AX100 (dual-SP) storage system, go to
UPS (AX100 Only)
For an existing storage system (that is, one already connected to
another server), go to
(page 50).
To complete this procedure, you need to
Locate the PowerPath for Solaris CD that shipped with the
storage system.
In the /etc/system file, make sure the timeout value is set to 60
seconds. This minimizes path failover time without
compromising online storage-system microcode or base code
upgrades. The entry must be a hexadecimal number:
set ssd: ssd_io_time = 0x3C
Optionally, configure the host to send warnings to the console
instead of just to the log file:
a. Add the following line to the /etc/syslog.conf file:
localx.Warn /dev/sysmsg
where x is a value that is not used by any other
in /etc/syslog.conf.
For example:
local0.Warn /dev/sysmsg
The separator between localx.Warn and /dev/sysmsg must be a tab
character.
