Installing The Controller Firmware; Configuring The Raid Device In Serveraid Manager - IBM TotalStorage DS300 Quick Installation Manual

Installing the controller firmware

Updates are made to the RAID controller firmware occasionally to improve the function or performance
of the RAID controller in the storage subsystem. Obtain the latest firmware before proceeding to the next
steps (see the Dual Controller Software Installation Guide on the IBM Support Web site for information
about how to locate and download the latest firmware).
Setting IP addresses for DS300 type 1701 iSCSI ports
Complete the following steps to set the IP addresses for the iSCSI ports on the DS300 type 1701 storage
subsystem:
1. If you did not open a Telnet session in step 5 on page 3, open a Telnet session now, using the
management IP address that you set in step 4 on page 2. If you also changed the password in step 4,
use the new password to log in.
2. Type the following commands to set the IP addresses for each of the iSCSI ports (eth2 and eth3):
interface manage eth2[A] ip IPaddress netmask netmask Broadcast broadcast
interface manage eth2[B] ip IPaddress netmask netmask Broadcast broadcast
interface manage eth3[A] ip IPaddress netmask netmask Broadcast broadcast
interface manage eth3[B] ip IPaddress netmask netmask Broadcast broadcast
where IPaddress is the IP address that you want to use for that port, and netmask is the management
network subnet address.
See the IBM TotalStorage DS300 Problem Determination Guide or IBM TotalStorage DS400 Problem
Determination Guide on the IBM Support Web site for a list of all the available commands.

Configuring the RAID device in ServeRAID Manager

Complete the following steps to create a RAID array and configure the access control list for the logical
drive:
1. In the ServeRAID Manager interface on the management station, in the pane on the right, click the
agent (which is displayed as a controller device) that you created in step 2b on page 3 in "Installing
IBM ServeRAID Manager and adding a ServeRAID agent" on page 3. The interface displays the
Enclosure View pane for the storage subsystem.
2. In the upper right corner of the Enclosure View pane, click the disk icon. The array configuration
menu is displayed.
3. In the array configuration menu, select Create logical drive in a new array; then, click Next.
4. Complete the following steps to select the drives you want in the array (see the "Creating arrays and
hot-spare drives" section in the ServeRAID Manager online help for more information):
a. Press Ctrl and click each drive that you want in the array.
b. Click the single arrow to move the drives to the left pane.
c. If you need to create more than one array, click Create New Array at the top of the left pane and
repeat steps 4a and 4b.
d. When you are finished, click Next.
5. Select the logical drive name, size, and preferred controller that you want; then, if you are finished,
click Next. If you want to create more than one logical drive or change the preferred controller,
complete the following steps (see the "Creating logical drives" section in the ServeRAID Manager
online help for more information):
a. Change the default size to less than the full capacity.
b. Select the preferred controller from the Controller menu.
c. Click Create new logical drive at the bottom of the pane.
d. Select the next logical drive name and size.
