Configure the Sun StorEdge T3+ Array
| [ Top ] |
The Sun StorEdge T3+ array menu presents the following options:
- Display Config - Reads and displays configuration information for the
specified Sun StorEdge T3+ array partner group. It includes output from
the following Sun StorEdge T3+ array commands:
- version
- sys list
- vol list
- vol stat
- port list
- port listmap
- Save Config - Updates the Sun StorEdge T3+ array snapshot file after
reading the array configuration. This information is saved to be reused
if needed.
- Modify Parameters - Modify a Sun StorEdge T3+ array's system parameters.
- Configure - Steps you through a series of submenus that enable you to
reconfigure Sun StorEdge T3+ arrays. After successful update of the
configuration, the information is saved to the snapshot file.
Support RAID types include:
- RAID 1
- RAID 5
- RAID 1 and RAID 5
In the RAID 1/RAID 5 mixed RAID types, each Sun StorEdge T3+ array
will have a RAID 1 device consisting of three physical drives and a RAID 5
device consisting of five physical drives, plus a spare.
- Restore - Restores the Sun StorEdge T3+ array configuration with the static
saved configuration from the snapshot file. This is a function that may
be needed in the event you lose a LUN or you must replace a Sun StorEdge
T3+ array.
- Verify - Checks and verifies that the current Sun StorEdge T3+ array
configuration is the same as the most recently-saved version of the
configuration in the snapshot file.
- Display Busy - Displays the name of the Sun StorEdge T3+ arrays that
are being configured or restored.
- Validate Password - Validates the T3 telnet password.
- Manage T3+ LUN Slicing -- Enables you to create and remove T3+ slices. The options in the submenus include:
- Create T3+ Lun Slice - This options enables you to create slices on T3+ volumes. You are presented with a listing of the available volumes. Once you make a selection you will enter the number, size (in 1 gb increments) and name of the slices you want to create.
- Remove T3+ Lun Slice - This option enables you to remove LUN slices that have been created on a T3+ volume.
- Display T3+ Lun Slice Info - Displays the current LUN configuration on the specified T3+.You may choose to display either slice information, LUN map information or LUN permission information.
- Enable T3+ Volume Slicing - This option allows you to set the appropriate T3+ system parameter to enable volume slicing on the specified T3+ Sun StorEdge array.
- Manage T3+ LUN Masking -- Enables you to create T3+ groups for specific WWNs and set LUN permissions. The options in the submenus include:
- Create T3+ Group - This option enables you to create a T3+ group, which can then be used to set/mask LUN permissions. After selecting a T3+ Sun StorEdge array, you must enter the WWN to be associated with the new group. You may also add an initial LUN into this group and set permissions on it.
- Remove T3+ Group - This option enables you to remove one or all groups on a T3+ Sun StorEdge array.
- Add to T3+ Group - Using this option you can add additional WWNs into an existing group.
- Delete from T3+ Group - Using this option you can delete WWNs from an existing group.
- Set T3+ LUN Permissions - This option allows you to set/mask LUN permissions to read-write (rw), read-only(ro) or none for an individual LUN or all LUNs on a specified Sun StorEdge T3+ array. You may set LUN permissions on an individual WWN or group basis.
Configure the Sun StorEdge Network FC Switch-8 and Switch-16 Switches
| [ Top ] |
The Sun StorEdge switch menu presents the following options:
- Display Config - Displays the specified switch's configuration, including
the following:
- IP address configuration
- number of ports
- version information
- port status and type
- zones
- Verify - Verifies that the configuration of the specified switch matches
the predefined static configuration for that switch, based on the
cabinet type (Sun StorEdge 3900 series or Sun StorEdge 6900 series).
- Set Config - Configures the specified switch to a predefined static
configuration based on cabinet type and location (top or bottom switch
for Sun StorEdge 6900 series).
- Save Config - Saves the current configuration of the specified switch
to a restorable map file.
- Restore Config - Restores the saved switch configuration from the map file.
- Download Firmware - Downloads the flash code to the Sun StorEdge
Network FC Switch-8 or Switch-16 switch and resets it. The flash code
is automatically loaded from the appropriate file from the
/usr/opt/SUNWsmgr/flash directory.
- Set Switch Port SL Mode - Sets/Unsets the switch port SL mode associated with
the specified Sun StorEdge T3+ Array. If "on" is selected, it will set all
ports in the corresponding zone on each switch to SL mode. If "off" is
selected, it clears the SL mode and sets the ports back to the predefined
configuration as defined below.
- Set Switch Port TL Mode - Sets/Unsets the switch port TL mode on the specified
switch(es). If "on" is selected, it will set all ports in the specified
port list on each switch to TL mode. If "off" is selected, it clears the TL
mode and sets the ports back to the predefined configuration as defined
below.
NOTE : This feature is available for DAS configurations only
(Sun StorEdge 3900 series systems) and is especially useful for SOC+ connections
on Solaris 2.6.
- Set Switch Port Fabric Mode - Sets/Unsets the switch port fabric (F type) mode on the specified switch(es). If "on" is selected, it will set all ports in the specified port list on each switch to fabric mode. If "off" is selected, it clears the fabric mode and sets the ports back to the predefined configuration as defined below.
NOTE: This feature is available for DAS configurations only (Sun StorEdge 3900 series systems) and is especially useful for full fabric configurations to set T3+ device-side ports to type F (fabric).
- Modify Switch Zones - Modifies the port list in each hard zone on a front-end
switch. The user will be prompted for hard zone id(s) and then a port
list for each.
NOTE : This feature is available for DAS configurations only
(Sun StorEdge 3900 series systems) and is especially useful for 4-node cluster
support.
Configure the Virtualization Engine | [ Top ] |
The virtualization engine (VE) configuration menus present the following options:
