HP 6100 User Manual

Update instructions depend on the version of your OS:
• For Solaris 9, install the latest Sun StorEdge SAN software with associated patches. To locate
the software, log into My Oracle Support:
https://support.oracle.com/CSP/ui/flash.html
1. Select the Patches & Updates tab and then search for StorEdge SAN Foundation Software
4.4 (formerly called StorageTek SAN 4.4).
2. Reboot the host after the required software/patches have been installed. No further activity
is required after adding any new LUNs once the array ports have been configured with
the cfgadm –c command for Solaris 9.
Examples for two FCAs:
cfgadm -c configure c3
cfgadm -c configure c4
3. Increase retry counts and reduce I/O time by adding the following entries to the
/etc/system file:
set ssd:ssd_retry_count=0xa
set ssd:ssd_io_time=0x1e
4. Reboot the system to load the newly added parameters.
• For Solaris 10, go the Oracle Software Downloads website (http://www.oracle.com/
technetwork/indexes/downloads/index.html) to install the latest patches. Under Servers and
Storage Systems, select Solaris 10. Reboot the host once the required software/patches have
been installed. No further activity is required after adding any new LUNs, as the controller
and LUN recognition are automatic for Solaris 10.
1. For Solaris 10 x86/64, ensure patch 138889-03 or later is installed. For SPARC, ensure
patch 138888-03 or later is installed.
2. Increase the retry counts by adding the following line to the /kernel/drv/sd.conf
file:
sd-config-list="HP HSV","retries-timeout:10";
3. Reduce the I/O timeout value to 30 seconds by adding the following line to the
/etc/system file:
set sd:sd_io_time=0x1e
4. Reboot the system to load the newly added parameters.
Configuring Emulex FCAs with the lpfc driver
To configure Emulex FCAs with the lpfc driver:
1. Ensure that you have the latest supported version of the lpfc driver (see http://www.hp.com/
storage/spock).
You must sign up for an HP Passport to enable access. For more information on how to use
SPOCK, see the Getting Started Guide (http://h20272.www2.hp.com/Pages/spock_overview/
introduction.html).
2. Edit the following parameters in the /kernel/drv/lpfc.conf driver configuration file to
set up the FCAs for a SAN infrastructure:
topology=2;
scan-down=0;
nodev-tmo=60;
linkdown-tmo=60;
