Chapter 15. SAS configuration 2 - Linux host 335

hugemem) is included, as well as the source RPM for use with kernel versions that do not
match the precompiled driver versions.
In our case, we can simply install a precompiled driver. This can be done in two ways:
Run the install.sh script, included with the driver:
./install.sh --update
Alternatively, run the rpm command to install the driver package.
rpm -i lsi-mptlinux-smp-3.02.83.05_2.6.9_22.EL-1.i686.rpm
There are several ways to verify that the driver package is correctly installed. One way is with
the command:
rpm -qa | grep lsi
The output should show the driver package information, similar to this:
lsi-mptlinux-smp-3.02.83.05_2.6.9_22.EL-1
You could also run the lsmod command. The output should show that the following modules
are running: mptsas, mptscsi, mptscsih and mptbase.
15.3 Install DS3000 Storage Manager software
A host server running Windows can have the following DS3000 Storage Manager
components installed:
SMagent, if in-band management is needed.
SMutil
SMclient, if we want to use the DS3000 Storage Manager GUI on the host itself.
Multipath support.
On Linux, this is slightly different. The multipath driver, RDAC, is not included with the DS3000
Storage Manager for Linux; it is available as a separate package instead. We will install this in
15.4, “Install RDAC for Linux” on page 336.
We will install SMclient, because we want to run the DS3000 Storage Manager GUI on the
Linux server itself. We will install SMutil as well.
We do not install SMagent, since at the time of writing, the DS3200 does not support in-band
management. We will therefore not install the SMagent and our management will be
performed out-of-band.
The latest DS3000 Storage Manager for Linux is available on the IBM Systems support Web
site. At the time of writing, v2.17.B5.05 is the current version for Linux 2.6 kernel.
1. The Storage Manager package is available as a compressed tar file. Use the following
command to uncompress it:
tar -zxvf ibm_sw_ds3k_0217b505_linux2.6_anycpu.tar.gz
2. Now look for the Storage Manager InstallAnywhere (SMIA) installation script file. The
filename will be something similar to:
SMIA-LINUX26-02.17.B5.05.bin
3. Run this script file to start the installation script. This will launch the GUI installation
