Use this procedure to add a new storage array to a running cluster. To install a new storage array in a Sun Cluster configuration that is not running, use the procedure in How to Install Storage Arrays in a New Cluster.
This procedure relies on the following assumptions:
(VERITAS Volume Manager Only) You have a version of VERITAS Volume Manager that includes Array Support Library (ASL). For more information on this requirement, see Requirements.
You have enough host adapters to connect the nodes and the storage array to the service processor panel.
If you need to install host adapters, see How to Replace a Host Adapter. When this procedure asks you to replace the failed host adapter, simply install the new host adapter instead.
You do not need to install a new node in your cluster.
If you need to add a node to your cluster, see your Sun Cluster system administration documentation. Ensure that you install the required Solaris patches for storage array support.
Unpack, place, and level the storage array.
For instructions, see the StorageTek online documentation listed in Table P–2.
(Optional) Install the Fibre Channel (FC) switch for the storage array if you do not have a switch installed.
For the procedure about how to install an FC switch, see the documentation that shipped with your FC switch hardware.
Connect the nodes to the service processor panel.
(SAN Configuration) Connect the FC switches to the service processor panel.
(Direct-Attached Configuration) Connect each node to the service processor panel directly.
For instructions, see the StorageTek documentation listed in Related Documentation.
Install the storage array.
For instructions, see the StorageTek documentation listed in Related Documentation.
Power on the storage array and the nodes.
For instructions, see the StorageTek documentation listed in Related Documentation.
Configure the service processor.
For instructions, see the StorageTek documentation listed in Related Documentation.
To create a logical volume, see How to Create a Logical Volume.
If you added a new node, perform the steps in Install the Solaris Operating System and Configure Multipathing as appropriate. Apply the correct patches for storage array support enable multipathing.
