Installing the Common Array Manager Software |
This chapter describes how to install the management software using a graphical interface or the command line interface. It contains the following sections:
This chapter describes the installation of Common Array Manager on a new management host. These procedures apply equally to installing 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. It is not necessary to manually run an 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 CD provides three installation-related wizards:
You can also download the latest version of the Common Array Manager software from System Administration/Storage Management category on: http://www.sun.com/download.
The current URL is: http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp?cat=Systems%20Administration&tab=3&subcat=Storage%20Management
If installing from a downloaded file on Solaris or Linux, you must 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 installation procedure as follows:
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 installation procedure as follows:
4. Begin the Windows installation procedure at the “Review the README.txt file” step.
Before installing the management software, do the following:
Before unpacking the compressed installation files, check that the installation space requirements are met, as listed in TABLE 2-1. (The installation script verifies these requirements. If a requirement is not met, the script informs you.)
These user names are not added to the system by the CAM installer. They are default users with storage and guest roles and are required to be present in order to use them to log into CAM.
The storage and guest roles are defined in CAM. The storage role has write privileges in CAM, while the guest role has read-only privileges. By default, the root user (or the administrative user in Windows) has the storage role, the storage user has the storage role, and the guest user has the guest role.
Additional users should be added to the storage or guest roles by using the CAM User Management interface. The password for these accounts is the password for the user on the operating system. For more information, see Adding Users And Assigning Roles.
Solaris 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.
Windows: Uninstall all versions of the Sun StorageTek Configuration Service management software prior to the Common Array Manager 5.1.0.10 release. Later versions do not have to be removed.
The following tables show the location of the files and logs for the Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager software by Operating System.

TABLE 2-6 summarizes the commands you need to install the management software using either a GUI wizard or a CLI script.
If you are using the Solaris or Linux operating system and a path is not defined, use ./ to run the commands (./RunMe.bin).
If you are using a Windows platform, if the command alone does not work, add .\ to run the commands (.\RunMe.bat).
You can install software by using telnet from a remote terminal to the server that will perform as the actual management host. If you are planning to use the graphic installation wizard in Solaris or Linux, you must set the X Windows DISPLAY setting so the wizard pages will display locally on the remote terminal.
The set up will depend on the shell you use.
The following shows an example of setting up the local terminal display:
1. On the local terminal, enter the following to enable display from the Common Array Manager host:
2. Telnet to the Common Array Manager host (where the Common Array Manager Installation CD or download file is located, and where the Common Array Manager will be installed):
3. After logging in, switch user to root:
4. Enter and export the following DISPLAY variable:
# DISPLAY=mgt_server.your_net:0.0; export DISPLAY
where mgt_server.your_net is the IP address of the local terminal from which you are telnetting.
5. Confirm that the remote display is working by entering the following command to see if it displays to your local terminal:

You can verify the installation by bring up the Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager browser or CLI prompt, as discussed in Starting the Management Software of the next chapter.
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 Check the installation space 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:
/var/sadm/install/se6000/se6000_Host_SW.log
\Program Files\Common Files\Sun Microsystems\se6000
For Windows, verify that you made the firewall changes after you finished the installation.
You are now ready to log in to the browser interface, discover the arrays, install the array baseline firmware, and set up an array.
