Before You Install the Software

C H A P T E R 1

If you are installing Sun Storage Common Array Manager software on a new management host, do the following:

Verify System Requirements

Decide On In-Band or Out-of-Band RAID Array Management

Decide On Typical or Custom Installation

If you are updating the software from a previous version, go to:

Updating To a New Version

Verify System Requirements

You can install the management software on the platforms listed in TABLE 1-1.

TABLE 1-1 Supported Platforms
Platform	Operating System
Sun SPARC server, workstation, or X86 computer	Solaris 11 Express 2010.11, Solaris 10 U10 OS, Solaris 10 U9 OS, Solaris 10 U5 OS, OpenSolaris 2009.06, Solaris 9 OS 1070 megabytes available disk space
Windows Server	Windows 2008 R2, Windows 2008 SP2, Windows 2003 SP2, Windows XP Professional SP3 (32 bit) 1175 megabytes available disk space
x64 computer	Oracle Linux 6.0 with Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 2.6.32; Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.6 and 5.5 (with Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 2.6.32), Oracle VM 2.2, Red Hat Linux 6.0, 5.6, 5.5, 4.8; SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP3 1000 megabytes available disk space

Note - See the Sun Storage Common Array Manager Release Notes for the latest management and data host operating system support and supported array information.

Disk Space Requirements

The installation script verifies these requirements. If a requirement is not met, the script informs you.

TABLE 1-2 System Requirements--Full Installation
OS	Total Space	Directory Space	RAM
Solaris OS and OpenSolaris OS	1070 megabytes	`root` - 5 megabytes	1 GB (for browser interface use)
		`/tmp` - 190 megabytes
		`/usr` - 40 megabytes
		`/var` - 85 megabytes
		`/opt` - 750 megabytes
Linux	1000 megabytes	`root` - 5 megabytes	512 MB
		`/tmp` - 100 megabytes
		`/usr` - 245 megabytes
		`/var` - 100 megabytes
		`/opt` - 550 megabytes
Windows	1175 megabytes	On system drive (usually C:)	512 MB

Note - These space requirements are for a full installation, including Oracle Java Web Console. If Oracle Java Web Console Version 3.1 and JDK are pre-installed on the system, the required space is smaller by approximately 150 megabytes.

Windows OS Requirements

If you are installing the management software on a Windows platform check the following:

Check for additional Windows requirements in the Sun Storage Common Array Release Notes.

Be sure the TEMP environment variable is set. Investigate TEMP, TMP, and USERPROFILE environment variable settings, rather than follow the directions in the pop-up window.

If you install the management software on Windows 2008, you must turn off User Account Control. From the Control Panel, select User Accounts, and then turn the User Account Control OFF.

Be sure a file or directory named “%SystemDrive%\Program” does not exist. This file can prevent some applications from functioning properly. If it does exist, rename the file to “%SystemDrive%\Program1.”

Open Storage management requires a hot-fix patch for Win2K3, # 943545 and a Win2K8 patch, # KB958387-v2-x64 (64-bit Win2008).

Windows Installer 3.1 must be installed and the service packages listed in TABLE 1-1 are required. If needed, download the files from the Microsoft Download site.

Windows 2008 computer name must match the resolved network IP address name for the array management software to monitor the proxy host for JBOD arrays. Change the computer name and then restart Windows.

After upgrading Sun Storage Common Array Manager software on Windows, manually restart fms on Windows using the following commands.

C:\sc stop Sun_STK_FMS

C:\sc start Sun_STK_FMS

If MegaRAID/MegaCLI is installed, version 8.00.23 and MSM 8.00-05 are required to avoid installation failure.. You can download from:

http://www.lsi.com/support/sun/sg_x_sas6-r-int-z.html

Solaris OS Special Requirements

Solaris Zones--Before you install the management software in a sparse-root zone, install Lockhart 3.1 with its L10N (Localization) packages in the global zone.

Solaris OS 10--Do not attempt to run the Lockhart setup script when logged into the local zone. Either install Lockhart into a whole root zone or install/upgrade Lockhart in the global zone before installing the software into the local zone.

Microsoft Operations Manager (Optional)

Included with the Sun Storage Common Array Manager installation package and DVD is Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 (MOM), an IT services management tool. MOM is a separate application that integrates with Sun Storage Common Array Manager, and is delivered as a zip file with the other Sun Storage Common Array Manager installation files.

For further information regarding MOM, refer to the readme file included in the zip file.

Decide On In-Band or Out-of-Band RAID Array Management

The management host, by default, communicates with RAID arrays out-of-band over Ethernet. The management host and the array controllers must have valid IP addresses. The IP addresses can be assigned dynamically through DHCP or you can assign static IP addresses. For information about dynamic and static IP addresses, see Configuring the IP Address of the RAID Array Controllers.

You can configure in-band management to travel over the data path (using Fibre Channel) between data host and the array instead. For information about in-band management, see Configuring In-Band Management for RAID Arrays.

Decide On Typical or Custom Installation

Sun Storage Common Array Manager provides two installation options:

Typical--select this option to install the full set of management services which include the following:

Management host software with GUI

Data host proxy agent for JBOD

Administrator host CLI client

Chapter 2 describes the typical installation procedure. You can install the typical (full) version of the software on a data host connected to an array or on a central management server that communicates with the array via a proxy agent.

Custom--select this option to install specific device plug-in packages. You can select from the following modules:

Management Host Software--installs the Oracle Java Web Console and all core packages.

Data Host Proxy Agent--installs only the core packages for JBOD devices.

Administrator Host CLI Client--Installs only the remote CLI package. The remote CLI is used to communicate with a host that has the core software installed.

Chapter 3 describes the custom installation procedures.

Updating To a New Version

If you are updating to a new version of the software, the install script searches the system for a previous version and if present, updates and adds only those files that require change. Existing settings and other data are preserved.

1. Before you update, do the following:

Check for previously installed services, such as the Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment. Be sure the service is not performing a function on the array over the Ethernet port of either array controller.

If a version of Oracle Java Web Console prior to 2.2.5 is installed, the script prompts you to upgrade to the current version of the Oracle Java Web Console. If you choose not to upgrade, the script exits and you cannot install the software.

Solaris OS and Linux Only

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 OS Only

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.

2. Decide on the installation type you want to perform, and go to one of these sections:
