4.2 Installing DS Storage Manager on Linux
The procedure to install DS Storage Manager on Linux is similar to Windows, with one major difference: The multipath driver is not included in the Storage Manager installation package. It must be installed separately from the Storage Manager package. For more information about installing the multipath drivers, see 18.2.3, “Installing the Linux multipath driver” on page 542.
The IBM Systems Storage DS Storage Manager on Linux can be installed by using a GUI or a text-based interface. Both installation variants are described here. The first steps are common to all methods:
After you complete these steps, you can start IBM Storage Manager by running SMclient from a terminal window.
4.2.1 Preparing for the installation
To prepare for the installation, complete the following steps:
1. Download the latest version of the IBM Systems Storage DS Storage Manager Client to the management station or host that is connected to the DCS3700 for inband or outband connections from the IBM Support website. You can find more information about the IBM Support website in Appendix A, “IBM Support Portal website” on page 583.
2. Verify that there is enough space available in the /opt (450 MB for the complete installation) and /tmp (1 GB) directories to perform this installation. It is possible to set the IATEMPDIR environment variable to change the temporary directory to extract the files on a disk partition with enough free disk space instead of using /tmp.
|
Note: The setting of this variable changes only the temporary location where the IBM Storage Manager extracts the files for the installation.
|
To set the variable, run the following commands at the Linux command-line interface (CLI) before running this installer again:
– For Bourne shell (sh), ksh, bash, and zsh, run the following commands:
$ IATEMPDIR=/your/free/space/directory
$ export IATEMPDIR
– For C shell (csh) and tcsh, run the following commands:
$ setenv IATEMPDIR /your/free/space/directory
3. Extract the file to a local directory, as shown in Example 4-1.

4.4 Completing the DS Storage Manager installation
This section contains procedures for using the Enterprise Management and Subsystem Management features of DS Storage Manager to complete the storage management installation tasks for all host operating systems.
To complete a Storage Manager installation, you must complete the following tasks:
•Initial automatic discovery of storage subsystems
•Initial manual discovery of storage subsystems
The Enterprise Management window opens when you start the DS Storage Manager. You can use the Enterprise Management window to perform the following tasks:
•Add and discover the storage subsystems.
•View all storage subsystems in your management domain.
The other options of the Enterprise Management window are described in Chapter 5, “Administration: Enterprise Management” on page 159.
4.4.1 Performing an automatic discovery of storage subsystems
To perform an initial automatic discovery of storage subsystems, complete the
following steps:
following steps:
1. From the Setup tab of the DS Storage Manager Enterprise Management window, click Add Storage Subsystem, as shown in Figure 4-22.
Figure 4-22 Add Storage Subsystem
Figure 4-23 Select Addition Method - Automatic
3. Click OK to begin an initial automatic discovery of hosts and storage subsystems that are attached to the local subnetwork, as shown in Figure 4-24.
Figure 4-24 Automatic Discovery
After the initial automatic discovery is complete, the Devices tab of the Enterprise Management window displays all hosts and storage subsystems that are attached to the
local subnetwork.
local subnetwork.
|
Note: The Enterprise Management window can take up to a minute to refresh after an initial automatic discovery.
|
4.4.2 Performing a manual discovery of storage subsystems
You can manually add more hosts or storage subsystems. You can use this option to selectively manage a group of storage subsystems from an SMclient. You can also use this option to add additional devices to be managed that were not discovered during the SMclient
initial discovery.
initial discovery.
|
Note:
•When you add new storage subsystems to the existing storage subsystems in a SAN that are managed through the host-agent software, you must stop and restart the host-agent service. When the host-agent service restarts, the new storage subsystem is detected. Then, go to the Enterprise Management window and click Tools → Rescan to add the new storage subsystems to the management domain.
•When you add new storage subsystems to existing storage subsystems that are managed using the direct-management method, be sure to specify the IP addresses for
both controllers. |
To add the storage subsystem manually, complete the following steps:
1. From the Setup tab DS Storage Manager Enterprise Management window, click the Add Storage Subsystem link, as shown in Figure 4-25.
Figure 4-25 Add Storage Subsystem
Figure 4-26 Select Addition Method - Manual
3. Select a management method and add the storage subsystem:
– When using out-of-band management, select Out-of-band management and enter the IP addresses of both the controllers, as shown in Figure 4-27.
Figure 4-27 Out-of-band management
– For In-band management, select the In-band management option and enter the IP address of the attached host, as shown in Figure 4-28.
Figure 4-28 In-band management
4. Click Add to complete the process. After the storage subsystem is successfully added, you can add another storage subsystem, as shown in Figure 4-29, and you can repeat the process until all the storage subsystems that you want to add are added.
Figure 4-29 Storage Subsystem Added
4.4.3 Adding a Storage Subsystem verification
Verify that each host and storage subsystem displays in the Enterprise Management window. If a host or storage subsystem is not displayed, complete the following tasks:
•Check the hardware and hardware connections for possible problems.
•If you are using the network management method (commonly known as out-of-band management), verify that all hosts and storage subsystems are connected to the same subnet network. If you are using the host-agent method (commonly known as in-band management), ensure that the Fibre Channel connection between the host and storage subsystems is made.
•Make sure that all of the preparation steps for setting up the storage subsystem for a network managed system are completed. Use the Add Device option to add the IP addresses of the storage subsystem. Add both IP addresses of the controller. Otherwise, you get a “partially managed device” error message when you try to manage the
storage subsystem.
storage subsystem.
|
Note: To use the auto-discovery method, the storage subsystem and this host must be on the same subnet. Otherwise, use the manual method to add a system.
|
•If you are using the host-agent management method, complete the following steps:
a. Make sure that the SMagent is installed on the host.
b. Verify that you have a Fibre Channel connection from the storage subsystems to the host that has the SMagent installed.
c. Verify that all of the preparation steps are complete, and then complete the
following steps:
following steps:
i. Run the hot_add utility.
ii. Restart the SMagent.
iii. Right-click the host and click Tools → Rescan in the Enterprise
Management window.
Management window.
|
Note: In certain situations, a storage subsystem might be duplicated in the device tree after an automatic discovery. You can remove a duplicate storage management icon from the device tree by using the Remove Device option in the Enterprise Management window.
|
•Verify that the status of each storage subsystem is Optimal. If a device shows a status of Unresponsive, right-click the device and select Remove Device to delete it from the management domain. Then, use the Add Device option to add it to the management domain again.
