IBM AIX Prerequisites
Before installing StorNext on an AIX machine, verify that the following installation prerequisite has been met. StorNext supports AIX 5.2 and 5.3 only.
•Mapping LUNs - Before installing StorNext, it is necessary to correctly map Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs) in the customer SAN.
A LUN is assigned to each device (target) that is visible locally and over the SAN. The process of LUN mapping depends on many factors, including the operating system on which StorNext is running, the type of SCSI card installed on the machine, and the type of FC Host Bus Adaptor (HBA) installed on the machine.
For each HBA, check the vendor documentation to determine the operating system files that must be configured to correctly map LUNs to devices over the SAN.
For additional requirements, see 2TB LUN Requirements on page 11.
For assistance configuring the operating system files, contact the ADIC Technical Assistance Center (ATAC). Refer to Customer Assistance on page 97.
