IBM DS4000 FC manual Installing on the Linux platform, GUI installation

Note: Remember, the drive letter must be mapped to the root of the NetWare

SYS volume.

5.When you are prompted to enable the QLogic failover configuration, do not enable it. (IBM recommends the use of the RDAC multipath driver as the DS4000 LUN failover/failback driver, in a Microsoft Windows environment or the Novell NetWare native multipath device driver in a NetWare environment.)

The following are known limitations.

v The DS4000 storage products do not support the use of SANSurfer to configure failover and failback paths or IO load balancing for the DS4000 storage subsystem logical drives (LUNs) using the QLogic failover version (QLDirect) of the FC HBA device driver in Microsoft Windows environments. IBM only supports the use of DS4000 RDAC multipath device driver in conjunction with the non-failover version of the QLogic FC HBA device driver.

vThe DS4000 storage products do not support the use of LUN masking or HBA configuration wizard/functions; neither do the DS4000 storage products support non-Fibre Channel HBA functions, such as QLogic SANSwitch or iSCSI HBA functions.

vThe QLogic SANSurfer Pro Utility program (formerly known as IBM FAStT MSJ program) must not be left installed on X64 servers with Microsoft

Windows Server 2003 64-Bit edition, while the servers are running IOs to DS4000 storage subsystems. Install the QLogic SANSurfer® Pro Utility program if you need to perform FC HBA updates or diagnostics; then, uninstall it immediately after you have completed these tasks.

vThere is no 64-Bit version of the QLogic SANSurfer Pro Utility program (formerly known as FAStT MSJ) for Windows Server 2003 IA64 or x64 editions. You must use the 32-Bit version of the QLogic SANSurfer Pro Utility program for the Windows Server 2003 64-Bit edition. Uninstall the QLogic SANSurfer Pro Utility program when the diagnostics are complete; otherwise, the program could cause the server to crash in heavy IO loads.

Note: For information about other possible program limitations, please see the

README file.

If you have questions about installing the QLogic SANsurfer Pro Utility, please see the README file, which may have a name, for example, like readme_SANsurfer_FAStMSJ_win32_NW.txt.

Installing on the Linux platform

Note: If SANSurfer is already installed, uninstall it prior to installing a new copy.

GUI installation

To perform the SANSurfer Pro Utility installation on a Linux platform, you must execute four steps.

1.Open a shell (command prompt), and change to the directory that contains the installation file, which might for example, be named sansurfer2.0.30b62_linux_install-i.bin.

2.At the prompt, type the command to start the program installation wizard. sh ./program_name

where, program_name is sansurfer2.0.30b62_linux_install-i.bin
