Table 23. Node model names and software version requirements (continued)
Node model
Required system SAN Volume Controller
software version
SAN Volume Controller 2145-DH8
with a 4-port 16G Fibre Channel
adapter
7.6.0.0 or later
SAN Volume Controller 2145-DH8
with a 2-port 16G Fibre Channel
adapter
7.4.0.0 or later
SAN Volume Controller 2145-DH8 7.3.0.0 or later
SAN Volume Controller 2145-CG8
with two Fibre Channel adapters
6.4.1.5 or later (any partner systems must have
6.4.0 or later)
SAN Volume Controller 2145-CG8 6.2.0 or later
SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 5.1.0 or later
Note: The steps in the following procedure refer to uninterruptible power supply
units. SAN Volume Controller 2145-DH8 and 2145-SV1 do not have an external
uninterruptible power supply unit. These systems have battery modules in the
front panel instead.
Procedure
1. Install the SAN Volume Controller nodes, and if applicable the uninterruptible
power supply units, in the rack.
2. Connect the SAN Volume Controller nodes to the LAN.
3. Connect the SAN Volume Controller nodes to the SAN fabric (for example, the
FC or FCoE ports).
4. Power on the SAN Volume Controller nodes and, if applicable, the
uninterruptible power supply units.
5. Zone the SAN Volume Controller node ports in the existing SAN Volume
Controller zone. The SAN Volume Controller zone exists in each fabric with
only node ports.
6. Zone the SAN Volume Controller node ports in the existing SAN Volume
Controller and storage zone. A storage zone contains all of the SAN Volume
Controller node ports and storage system ports that are in the fabric and used
to access the physical disks.
7. For each storage system that is used with the SAN Volume Controller system,
use the system management application to map the LUNs that are currently
used by the system to all of the WWPNs of the SAN Volume Controller nodes
that you want to add. The SAN Volume Controller nodes must recognize the
same LUNs that the existing nodes in the system can recognize before they can
be added. If SAN Volume Controller nodes cannot recognize the same LUNs,
the system is marked degraded.
8. Add the SAN Volume Controller nodes to the system.
9. Check the status of the storage systems and MDisks to ensure that status is not
marked degraded. If the status is degraded, a configuration problem must be
resolved before you can do any further system configuration task. If the
problem cannot be resolved, remove the newly added SAN Volume Controller
nodes from the clustered system and contact IBM Remote Technical Support for
assistance.
