Before You Install the Software |
If you are installing Sun Storage Common Array Manager software on a new management host, do the following:
If you are updating the software from a previous version, go to:
Verify System Requirements
You can install the management software on the Solaris OS, Microsoft Windows, and Linux OS platforms.
Supported OS Platforms
Refer to the Sun Storage Common Array Manager Software Release Notes for a current list of supported platforms.
Disk Space Requirements
The installation script verifies these requirements. If a requirement is not met, the script informs you.

Linux 6.0 OS Requirements
If you are installing CAM on an Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.0 or RedHat Enterprise Linux 6.0 host, the following rpm packages are required:
- libXtst-1.0.99.2-3.el6.i686.rpm and its dependent rpm (InstallShield requirement)
- libselinux-2.0.94-2.el6.i686.rpm
- audit-libs-2.0.4-1.el6.i686.rpm
- cracklib-2.8.16-2.el6.i686.rpm
- db4-4.7.25-16.el6.i686.rpm
- pam-1.1.1-4.el6.i686.rpm
- libstdc++-4.4.4-13.el6.i686.rpm
- zlib-1.2.3-25.el6.i686.rpm
- ksh-20100621-2.el6.x86_64.rpm
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 service packages (see the Release Notes) 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:
