Installing CAM Software |
This chapter describes how to prepare for and perform two common installations of the management software using a graphical interface: Typical (full) and Data Host Proxy Agent. Other installation options, including CLI installation, are described in Appendix E: Options for Experienced Users.
The following topics are discussed:
This chapter describes two types of full installation of Common Array Manager software:
These procedures apply equally to installing on a new host or a new release of the software on a host already running an earlier version of the software. When you proceed to upgrade an existing management host to a new release, you run the install program exactly as described for a fresh installation. The install script searches to see if there is an earlier version of the software present on the system and if so, updates and adds only those files that require change. Existing settings and other data are preserved, and after the upgrade, normal operations can resume. Normally it is not necessary to manually uninstall or re-register devices, redefine users, or reset other system parameters.
Any release-specific considerations, including those pertaining to upgrades, are provided in the Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Software Release Notes.
The Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Installation Software DVD provides three installation-related wizards:
To simplify the installation process for new users, this chapter will present the GUI Install Option. See Appendix E for CLI options.
You can download the latest version of the Common Array Manager software from the following Sun web site:

When installing from a downloaded file on Solaris OS or Linux, do the following to unpack the file and run the install program:
2. Change to the directory where the install files are unpacked, for example:
cd /install_dir/Host_Software_6.x.x.x
3. Begin the applicable installation procedure at Step 3.
1. Unzip the host_sw_windows_6.x.x.x file using a Windows zip application.
2. Change to the directory where the install files are unpacked. For example:
3. Begin the Windows installation procedure at Step 3.
This chapter contains the following sections:
Before installing the management software, do the following:
Solaris OS and Linux: Uninstall all versions of the Sun StorageTek Configuration Service management software prior to the Common Array Manager 5.0.1.1 release. Later versions do not have to be removed.

The array installation files and installers are provided in a compressed file on the DVD. The process unpacks the contents of the file on the host and then proceeds with the installation.
After the installation on a Windows platform, you will need to configure the Windows firewall on each host to allow an exception for port 6789.
For more information, refer to the appropriate product documentation.
Open the following incoming and outgoing ports for secure-by-default Solaris, OpenSolaris, Linux, and Windows platforms:
Solaris OS 10 update 6 restricts port 6789 to listen to localhost only. To change this setting and enable remote access to the Java Web Console and CAM, do the following:
1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role on the system where the console is running.
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4557/rbactask-15?a=view
2. Set a property to allow the console server to respond to network requests, refresh the service, and restart the console server.
# svccfg -s svc:/system/webconsole setprop options/tcp_listen=true # svcadm refresh svc:/system/webconsole:console # /usr/sbin/smcwebserver restart

The Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager provides a browser interface for accessing the management software from any host that is connected to the site LAN. The web-based browser interface is the primary interface for configuring, managing, and monitoring the system.
Command-line interfaces options are also provided. For more information, experienced users should refer to Appendix E.
You can start the management software on any system that is connected to the network. Before you log in, you need to set up a storage role or group in your OS and assign users to it. See Adding Users And Assigning Roles.
1. Open a supported web browser.
| Note - For information about supported web browsers, see the Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Release Notes. |
2. Enter the IP address of the management host using this format:
https://cam-management-host:6789
cam-management-host is the IP address or hostname of the host where you installed the Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager software.
3. Login with the root or administrator name.
You need root and storage users on the system. For more information about user names and roles, see Adding Users And Assigning Roles.
For Solaris OS and Linux, root already exists for the machine on which you installed the software.Later, you may want to add a user accounts with the storage role.
For Windows, you can initially login with any user account with Windows administrative privileges. Later, you may want to add a user accounts with the storage role. For more information about adding users and roles to Windows, see Adding New Users in Windows.
The Sun Java Web Console page is displayed.
At this point, you are logged into the system.
| Note - The connection closes automatically if there is no activity for approximately 15 minutes. |
5. Select Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager from the Storage section of the Sun Java Web Console page.
You can verify the installation by bringing up the Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager browser, as discussed in Starting the Management Software.
In the browser, you can click the Version button to verify the release version information.
You can also verify the success of the installation by reviewing the installation logs. Note that the installation logs are mainly intended for debugging by developers. By scrolling to the end of the installation log, you can verify the successful installation message or any error messages.
If an error occurs, review the requirements in Checking the Installation Requirements. Also, review the Readme.txt file located in the installation directory (see Locating Files and Logs) for late-breaking information and attempt a reinstallation.
The installation logs are located:
