Chapter 2 Checking the Server Environment Connection to servers is possible in the following environments. Check the "Server Support Matrix" for server environment conditions. 2.1 Hardware Refer to the "Server Support Matrix". 2.2 OS (Operating System) Refer to the "Server Support Matrix". 2.3 LAN Cards Refer to the "Server Support Matrix". 2.4 Multipath Driver Refer to the "Server Support Matrix". 8
Chapter 3 Notes Note the following issues when connecting the ETERNUS DX to a server. 3.1 Server Startup and Power Supply Control Notes Before turning the server on, check that the ETERNUS DX storage systems and LAN switches are all "Ready". Specifically, check that the Ready LED is lit for ETERNUS DX storage systems. If the server is turned on and they are not "Ready", the server will not be able to recognize the ETERNUS DX storage systems. Also, when the ETERNUS DX power supply is being controlled by a connected server, make sure that the ETERNUS DX does not shut down before the connected servers. Similarly, the LAN switches must also be turned off after the connected servers have been shut down. If turned off, data writes from the running server cannot be saved to the ETERNUS DX storage systems, and already saved data may also be affected. 3.2 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Notes For details involving RHEL, refer to the Red Hat web-site and any documentation available. 3.3 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Notes For details involving SLES, refer to the Novell web-site and any documentation available. 3.4 LAN Environment Notes Since an iscsi LAN handles large amounts of data (traffic volumes) like an FC-SAN, the iscsi LAN must have its own switch and be a dedicated LAN that is separate from the business LANs. Use devices that support transfer speeds of 1Gbit/s or more for an iscsi connection LAN. iscsi LAN redundancy is achieved by the use of multipaths. For IP network security, separate the iscsi LAN from the management LAN (for administration). The iscsi LAN must be configured as a dedicated LAN for each path from a server to the ETERNUS DX. 9

Here, LAN ports 1, 2 and 10 comprise VLAN1, while LAN ports 3 and 11 comprise VLAN2. The iscsi LAN and management LAN segments are kept separate in the iscsi LAN switches, helping maintain the security of each. *1: In this system configuration, multipaths provide redundant connections between the servers and storage system. LAN switches #1 and #2 provide physical separation of the network paths. *2: A separate LAN segment is provided in the LAN switch (using the switch VLAN function) for each grouping of business servers and storage systems (equivalent to the FC zones). 10

At boot up, Linux automatically recognizes all SCSI disks and assigns them successive device names starting from "sda". When assigning the device names, any internal SCSI disks are assigned first, followed by the assignment of the ETERNUS DX storage systems' LUNs. For example, if there is one internal SCSI disk and three ETERNUS DX LUNs, SCSI device names are assigned as follows: SCSI device name by-id name (Example) Explanation /dev/sda /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-36003005700026cc011251e4b0b80ac59 Internal SCSI disk /dev/sdb /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600000e00d0000000001000000000000 ETERNUS DX storage /dev/sdc /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600000e00d0000000001000000010000 systems' LUN /dev/sdd /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600000e00d0000000001000000020000 24
Chapter 7 Setting Up the Server to Recognize LUNs 7.1 For ETERNUS DX Storage Systems 7.1.2.6 Setting iscsi Initiator Timer To use the ETERNUS Multipath Driver, configure the settings shown below before installing the driver. (The settings are not required for SLES9.) Change the value of iscsi initiator timer from 120 sec. (default) to 25 sec. Configure the following settings for each node of iscsi. # iscsiadm -m node -p " ":3260 -o update -n node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout -v 25 Enter the IP address for the iscsi-ca port of the ETERNUS DX in the underlined portion. 25
Chapter 8 Setting Up and Checking the device-mapper multipath Set up and check the device-mapper multipath. For the procedures, refer to "FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS DX Configuration Guide -Server Connection- (Fibre Channel/FCoE/iSCSI/SAS) for Linux device-mapper multipath". 26
