How to Add a StorEdge 9910/9960 Array

Use this procedure to add a new StorEdge 9910/9960 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. Power on the StorEdge 9910/9960 array.

   ---

   only -

   The StorEdge 9910/9960 array will require a few minutes to boot.

   ---

   Contact your service provider to power on the StorEdge 9910/9960 array.

2. Configure the new StorEdge 9910/9960 array.

   Contact your service provider to create the desired logical volumes.

3. 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 28 of this procedure to return resource groups and device groups to these nodes.

   # scstat

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

   # scswitch -S -h from-node

5. Do you need to install a host adapter in Node A?

   • If no, skip to Step 11.

   • If yes, proceed to Step 6.

6. Is the host adapter the first JNI host adapter on Node A?

   • If no, skip to Step 11.

   • If yes, contact your service provider to install the support packages and configure the drivers.

7. Stop the Sun Cluster software on Node A and shut down Node A.

   # shutdown -y -g0 -i0

   For the procedure on shutting down a node, see the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 System Administration Guide.

8. Power off Node A.

9. Install the host adapter in Node A.

   For the procedure on installing a host adapter, see the documentation that shipped with your host adaper or updated information on the manufacturer's web site.

10. If necessary, power on and boot Node A.

    {0} ok boot -x

    For more information, see the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 System Administration Guide.

11. Attach the StorEdge 9910/9960 array to Node A.

    Contact your service provider to install a fiber-optic cable between the StorEdge 9910/9960 array and your cluster node.

12. Configure the fibre-channel adapter and the StorEdge 9910/9960 array.

    Contact your service provider to configure the adapter and StorEdge 9910/9960 array.

13. Shut down Node A.

    # shutdown -y -g0 -i0

14. Perform a reconfiguration boot to create the new Solaris device files and links on Node A.

    {0} ok boot -r

15. Label the new logical volume.

    Contact your service provider to label the new logical volume.

16. (Optional) On Node A, verify that the device IDs (DIDs) are assigned to the new StorEdge 9910/9960 array.

    # scdidadm -l

17. Do you need to install a host adapter in Node B?

    • If yes, proceed to Step 18.

    • If no, skip to Step 24.

18. Is the host adapter the first JNI host adapter on Node B?

    • If no, skip to Step 19.

    • If yes, contact your service provider to install the support packages and configure the drivers.

19. Move all resource groups and device groups off Node B.

    # scswitch -S -h from-node

20. Stop the Sun Cluster software on Node B, and shut down the node.

    # shutdown -y -g0 -i0

    For the procedure on shutting down a node, see the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 System Administration Guide.

21. Power off Node B.

    For more information, see the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 System Administration Guide.

22. Install the host adapter in Node B.

    For the procedure on installing a host adapter, see the documentation that shipped with your host adapter and node.

23. If necessary, power on and boot Node B.

    {0} ok boot -x

    For more information, see the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 System Administration Guide.

24. Attach the StorEdge 9910/9960 array to Node B.

    Contact your service provider to install a fiber-optic cable between the StorEdge 9910/9960 array and your cluster node.

25. Shut down Node B.

    # shutdown -y -g0 -i0

26. Perform a reconfiguration boot to create the new Solaris device files and links on Node B.

    {0} ok boot -r

27. (Optional) On Node B, verify that the device IDs (DIDs) are assigned to the new StorEdge 9910/9960 array.

    # scdidadm -l

28. Return the resource groups and device groups you identified in Step 3 to Node B.

    # scswitch -z -g resource-group -h nodename # scswitch -z -D device-group-name -h nodename

    For more information, see the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 System Administration Guide.

29. Perform volume management administration to incorporate the new logical volumes into the cluster.

    For more information, see your Solstice DiskSuite/Solaris Volume Manager or VERITAS Volume Manager documentation.
