Page 11: Restrictions And Requirements
C H A P T E R Restrictions and Requirements This chapter includes only restrictions and requirements that have a direct impact on the procedures in this book. For general support information, contact your Sun service provider. Requirements When it is deployed in a cluster environment with storage that is using LUN masking, the StorageTek array must also implement LUN masking. -

Node 2 Controller module SPARC: StorageTek Array Direct-Connect Configuration FIGURE 2–1 The StorageTek 6140 array houses two controllers each having four host ports. The cabling Note – approach is the same as shown in Figure 2–1, but it can support up to four nodes in a direct-attach configuration. -
Page 15: M Install And Cable The Hardware
Installing Storage Arrays This procedure relies on the following assumptions: You have not installed the Solaris Operating System. You have not installed the Sun Cluster software. Your cluster has not been established. You have enough host adapters to connect the nodes and the storage array to the service processor panel. -
Page 16: M How To Add Storage Arrays To An Existing Cluster
Installing Storage Arrays Install any required patches or software for Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager software support to nodes and enable multipathing. For the procedure about how to install the Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager software, see “How to Install Sun Multipathing Software” in Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS. To create a logical volume, see “How to Create a Logical Volume”... -
Page 17: Configuring Storage Arrays
Configuring Storage Arrays Install the storage array. For instructions, see the StorageTek documentation listed in “Related Documentation” on page Power on the storage array and the nodes. For instructions, see the StorageTek documentation listed in “Related Documentation” on page Configure the service processor. For instructions, see the StorageTek documentation listed in “Related Documentation”... - Page 18 Configuring Storage Arrays Sun storage documentation uses the following terms: Note – Logical volume Logical device Logical unit number (LUN) This manual uses logical volume to refer to all such logical constructs. This procedure relies on the following prerequisites and assumptions. Before You Begin All nodes are booted in cluster mode and attached to the storage device.

Page 19: M How To Remove A Logical Volume
Configuring Storage Arrays From any node in the cluster, update the global device namespace. # scgdevs You might have a volume management daemon such as vold running on your node, and have Note – a CD-ROM drive connected to the node. Under these conditions, a device busy error might be returned even if no disk is in the drive. - Page 20 Configuring Storage Arrays (Optional) Migrate all data off the logical volume that you are removing. Alternatively, back up that data. Check if the logical volume that you are removing is a quorum device. # scstat -q If yes, choose and configure another device as the quorum device. Then remove the old quorum device.
- Page 21 Configuring Storage Arrays Move all resource groups and device groups off Node A. # scswitch -s -h from-node Shut down and reboot Node A. For the procedure about how to shut down and power off a node, see Chapter 3, “Shutting Down and Booting a Cluster,”...

Page 24: Maintaining Storage Arrays
Maintaining Storage Arrays Before removing a disk drive, stop all I/O to the storage array. There are no other cluster-specific steps. Maintaining Storage Arrays This section contains the procedures about how to maintain a storage system in a running cluster. Table 3–1 lists these procedures. -
Page 25: M How To Remove A Storage Array
Maintaining Storage Arrays When you upgrade firmware on a storage device or on an enclosure, redefine the stripe size of Note – a LUN, or perform other LUN operations, a device ID might change unexpectedly. When you perform a check of the device ID configuration by running the scdidadm -c command, the following error message appears on your console if the device ID changed unexpectedly. -
Page 26: Replacing A Node-To-Switch Component
Maintaining Storage Arrays On all nodes, remove the obsolete Solaris links and device IDs. # devfsadm -C # scdidadm -C Repeat Step 3 through Step 4 for each node that is connected to the storage array. Replacing a Node-to-Switch Component Use this procedure to replace a node-to-switch component that has failed or that you suspect might be contributing to a problem. -
Page 27: M How To Replace A Node-To-Switch Component In A Cluster Without Multipathing
Maintaining Storage Arrays How to Replace a Node-to-Switch Component in a Cluster Without Multipathing Check if the physical data path failed. If no, proceed to Step If yes: a. Replace the component. Refer to your hardware documentation for any component-specific instructions. b. - Page 28 Maintaining Storage Arrays This procedure relies on the following prerequisites and assumptions. Before You Begin Except for the failed host adapter, your cluster is operational and all nodes are powered on. Your nodes are not configured with dynamic reconfiguration functionality. If your nodes are configured for dynamic reconfiguration and you are using two entirely separate hardware paths to your shared data, see the Sun Cluster Hardware Administration Manual for Solaris OS and skip steps that instruct you to shut down the cluster.

Page 29: M How To Replace A Disk Drive
Maintaining Storage Arrays especially for Sun Cluster. The Interactive Tool makes the installation of patches easier. PatchPro’s Expert Mode tool helps you to maintain your configuration with the latest set of patches. Expert Mode is especially useful for obtaining all of the latest patches, not just the high availability and security patches. - Page 30 Maintaining Storage Arrays Replace the failed disk drive. (Optional) If the new disk drive is part of a logical volume that you want to be a quorum device, add the quorum device. For the procedure about how to add a quorum device, see your Sun Cluster system administration documentation.
