Each Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway System server contains two dual port HBA cards. Using pairs of optical fiber cables, you can connect to storage directly or by using Fibre Channel switches.
When the Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway System is connected directly to storage without using a Fibre Channel switch, it is referred to as a "direct attach" configuration. Storage is configured using LUN masking.
Most Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway Systems are connected to SAN storage using a Fibre Channel switch, which is referred to as a "fabric attach." Because a switch can be a single point of failure, multiple switches can be used. Multiple switches can be configured with LUN masking to allocate storage to specific servers.
To ensure redundancy, you should connect to SAN storage port pairs.
A maximum of four heterogeneous storage systems can be attached per Gateway system configuration, single head or cluster.
This section describes how to cable the Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway System directly or through fabric switches to the Sun StorageTek 6130/6140/6540 array:
After connecting the systems, proceed to Connecting to the Network.
Throughout this section, illustrations show connections for the Sun StorageTek 6130 array. When connecting the Sun StorageTek 6540 array, you will use the controller ports with the same nomenclature; however, the ports appear in a different location on the Sun StorageTek 6540 array, as shown in FIGURE 5-1.
The Gateway system requires software release 4.20 (minimum) for gateway support.
The Sun StorageTek 6540 array requires the minimum software and firmware versions listed in TABLE 5-2.
Throughout this section, illustrations show connections for the Sun StorageTek 6130 array. When connecting the Sun StorageTek 6140 array, you will use the controller ports with the same nomenclature; however, the ports appear in a different location on the Sun StorageTek 6140 array, as shown in FIGURE 5-2.
The following direct attach configurations are described in this section:
|
Note - Do not power on the server until instructed in Powering On the Gateway System. |
|
|

To use the Sun StorageTek FlexLine 200 and 300 series array for Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway System storage, the host type parameter of both controller A and controller B on the FlexLine series array must be set to SE_5xxx. The SE_5xxx host type option is available on the FlexLine series array only if it is running NVSRAM version N6091-616843-005 or later.
If the FlexLine series array is not running this version of NVSRAM, you need to either upgrade to this NVSRAM version or run two scripts to add the NAS host type region.
The two scripts (CtrlAModReg12 and CtrlBModReg12) are available in patch number 124128-01 on http://sunsolve.sun.com. The two scripts are available in patch number 124128-01 on http://sunsolve.sun.com. You must have a valid service contract in order to access the patch.
|
Note - If you are running NVSRAM N6091-616843-005, you do not need to perform this procedure. |
1. Verify that host type region 12 is not in use by opening the SANtricity Storage Manager and go to Storage System > View > Profile > Mappings. If host type region 12 is already in use by a valid host type, you need to modify the scripts. See Changing the Host Type Region on the Scripts for more information.
2. Select the Patchfinder link on http://sunsolve.sun.com, and enter patch number 124128-01 to download the patch.
3. Extract the scripts CtrlAModReg12 and CtrlBModReg12 from the patch.
4. Run the script CtrlAModRegion12 to update the host type parameter on controller A:
# SMcli IP_address_controller_A -f CtlrAModRegion12
5. Run the script CrtlBModRegion12 to update the host type parameter on controller B:
6. # SMcli IP_address_controller_B -f CtrlBModRegion12Reset controller A:
# SMcli IP_address_controller_A -c "reset controller [a];"
# SMcli IP_address_controller_B -c "reset controller [b];"
8. Verify that the host type has been changed to SE_5xxx by opening the SANtricity Storage Manager and go to Storage System > View > Profile > Mappings.
Do not upgrade to NVSRAM N6091-616843-005 if host type region 12 is already in use. If the host type region 12 is currently in use, you need to modify the scripts before running them.
To edit the scripts to change the host type region:
1. Download the patch as described in Step 2 of the previous procedure.
2. Open the scripts CtrlAModReg12 and CtrlBModReg12 in the SMcli.
3. Replace the index number of 12 with the index number of the host type region you need to modify.
4. Continue with step 3 in Modifying the Host Type on the Sun StorageTek FlexLine 200 and 300 Series Array.
