How to Add a StorEdge T3/T3+ Array

Use this procedure to add a new StorEdge T3/T3+ array to a running cluster.

This procedure defines Node A as the node you begin working with, and Node B as the remaining node.

  1. Set up a Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) server on the network the new StorEdge T3/T3+ array is to reside on, and then assign an IP address to the new StorEdge T3/T3+ array.

    This RARP server enables you to assign an IP address to the new StorEdge T3/T3+ array by using the StorEdge T3/T3+ array's unique MAC address.

    For the procedure on setting up a RARP server, see the Sun StorEdge T3 and T3+ Array Installation, Operation, and Service Manual.

  2. (Skip this step if you are adding a StorEdge T3+ array) Install the media interface adapter (MIA) in the StorEdge T3 array you are adding as shown in Figure 8-2.

    For the procedure on installing a media interface adapter (MIA), see the Sun StorEdge T3 and T3+ Array Configuration Guide.

  3. If necessary, install gigabit interface converters (GBICs) in the Sun StorEdge FC-100 hub as shown in Figure 8-2.

    The GBICs enables you to connect the Sun StorEdge FC-100 hubs to the StorEdge T3/T3+ arrays you are adding.

    For the procedure on installing an FC-100 hub GBIC, see the FC-100 Hub Installation and Service Manual.

    Note -

    Cabling procedures are different if you are using your StorEdge T3/T3+ arrays to create a SAN by using two Sun StorEdge Network FC Switch-8 or Switch-16 switches and Sun SAN Version 3.0 release software. See "StorEdge T3 and T3+ Array (Single-Controller) SAN Considerations" for more information.

  4. Install the Ethernet cable between the StorEdge T3/T3+ array and the Local Area Network (LAN), as shown in Figure 8-2.

  5. Power on the StorEdge T3/T3+ array.

    Note -

    The StorEdge T3/T3+ array might require a few minutes to boot.

    For the procedure on powering on a StorEdge T3/T3+ array, see the Sun StorEdge T3 and T3+ Array Installation, Operation, and Service Manual.

  6. Telnet to the StorEdge T3/T3+ array you are adding, and, if necessary, install the required StorEdge T3/T3+ array controller firmware.

    See the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 Release Notes for information about accessing Sun's EarlyNotifier web pages, which list information about any required patches or firmware levels that are available for download. For the procedure on applying any host adapter firmware patch, see the firmware patch README file.

  7. Does this new StorEdge T3/T3+ array have a unique target address?

    • If yes, proceed to Step 8.

    • If no, change the target address for this new StorEdge T3/T3+ array.

    For the procedure on verifying and assigning a target address, see the Sun StorEdge T3 and T3+ Array Configuration Guide.

  8. Install a fiber-optic cable between the Sun StorEdge FC-100 hub and the StorEdge T3/T3+ array as shown in Figure 8-2.

    For the procedure on installing a fiber-optic cable, see the Sun StorEdge T3 and T3+ Array Configuration Guide.

    Note -

    Although Figure 8-2 shows a single-controller configuration, two arrays are shown to illustrate how two non-interconnected arrays are typically cabled in a cluster to allow data sharing and host-based mirroring.

  9. Configure the new StorEdge T3/T3+ array.

    For the procedure on creating a logical volume, see the Sun StorEdge T3 and T3+ Array Administrator's Guide.

  10. Determine the resource groups and device groups that are running on Node A and Node B.

    Record this information because you will use it in Step 42 of this procedure to return resource groups and device groups to these nodes.


    # scstat

  11. Move all resource groups and device groups off Node A.


    # scswitch -S -h nodename
