Checking the Server Environment

Connection to servers is possible in the following environments.

Check the "Server Support Matrix" for server environment conditions.

2.1 Servers

Refer to "Server Support Matrix" and the following URL:

https://linux.oracle.com/hardware-certifications

2.2 Fibre Channel Switches

The Fibre Channel switches that can be connected depend on the connection configuration that is used (the

OS and the ETERNUS DX/AF). Refer to "Server Support Matrix for FC-SWITCH".

2.3 Fibre Channel Cards

Refer to the "Server Support Matrix".

2.4 Connection Compatibility of ETERNUS DX/AF Storage Systems

to Oracle VM Server

Refer to the "Server Support Matrix".

2.5 Virtual Machine

For details on the procedure and notes about installing a Virtual Machine that is supported by Oracle VM

Server, refer to the manuals that can be obtained on the following Oracle web-site:

Notes

Note the following issues when connecting the ETERNUS DX/AF to a server.

3.1 Installation Notes

•To ensure reliable access to ETERNUS DX/AF storage systems, multipath configuration is recommended.

Setting up multiple access paths between the server and the ETERNUS DX/AF storage systems, then using

the Oracle VM Server multipath, provides improved access redundancy.

•Enable the virtualization support functions (Intel VT or AMD-V) of the server before installing Oracle VM

Server. For details on the settings, refer to the relevant manual of the server to be used.

•Install Oracle VM Server when the ETERNUS DX/AF is not connected to the server.

•The ETERNUS Multipath Driver does not need to be installed on the Oracle VM Server Virtual Machine. The

Oracle VM Server multipath driver provides path redundancy.

•When multiple paths are used, the Oracle VM Server multipath driver must be set. If a multipath driver is

not set, the Oracle VM Server multipath driver does not perform proper load balancing for the ETERNUS

DX/AF.

3.2 ETERNUS DX/AF Setup Notes

Host response must be set before the ETERNUS DX/AF is connected to the Oracle VM Server host.

3.3 Server Startup and Power Supply Control Notes

Before turning the server on, check that the ETERNUS DX/AF storage systems and Fibre Channel switches are

all "Ready". If the server is turned on and they are not "Ready", the server will not be able to recognize the

ETERNUS DX/AF storage systems.

Also, when the ETERNUS DX/AF power supply is being controlled by a connected server, make sure that the

ETERNUS DX/AF does not shut down before the connected servers. Similarly, the Fibre Channel switches must

also be turned off after the connected servers have been shut down. If turned off, data writes from the run-

ning server cannot be saved to the ETERNUS DX/AF storage systems, and already saved data may also be

affected.

Chapter 4

Checking Fibre Channel Card Information

The WWNs of Fibre Channel cards are necessary when a system error occurs, when server access to the ETER-

NUS DX/AF is limited (such as when using the Host Affinity function), or when the ETERNUS DX/AF is connec-

ted to the server via Fibre Channel switches.

Use the methods described in the following examples to obtain the WWN information of the Fibre Channel

card to be used.

Example:

Check the WWN using the utilities that are provided by the Fibre Channel card vendors.

Emulex: LightPulse BIOS Utility

QLogic: Fast!UTIL
