RAID Array 410 to 450 Upgrade
3–24
EK–SM410–UP. A01
3.11.3 Installing AIX Support Files and CC Agent
To install the AIX support files and the Command Console Agent, follow these steps
from the Getting Started - RAID Array 450 V5.0 for IBM:
As described in the Upgrade Prerequisites section (3.1.1), the CC Agent requires a
Communications LUN for the RS/6000 to interface with the RAID Array 450.
•
Create a communications LUN as described in Chapter 2 - Creating a
Communications LUN.
•
Load the StorageWorks software as described in Chapter 3 - Installing the
StorageWorks Software for IBM on AIX. Since this is an upgrade it will only be
necessary to:
•
Load the StorageWorks software onto hard disk - Section 3.3
•
Copy the file archive from CDROM to temporary storage - Section 3.1.1
•
Upgrade the StorageWorks software - Section 3.5
•
Reboot the system
•
Login as the root user to determine the disk configured as the Communications
LUN. The following command will list the disk devices currently configured.
Make note of the disk with the Target and LUN combination that corresponds to
the Communications LUN:
# lsdev -HCc disk
•
Install the Command Console Agent on your Host System - Chapter 4
•
Once all of the devices have been located, proceed to the next step, “Activating
the Logical Volume Groups”
3.11.4 Activating the Logical Volume Groups
Use the System Management Interface Tool, SMIT, to activate the Logical Volume
Groups. This is done by selecting the following SMIT menu choices:
1. System Storage Management (Physical & Logical Storage)
2. Logical Volume Manager
3. Volume
Groups
4. Activate a Volume Group
5. Enter the Volume Group name or use the List (F4) function key to show all of the
Volume Groups.
6. Select the desired group from the list and depress Enter to activate the Volume
Group.
7. After each of the Volume Groups have been activated, the filesystem(s) contained
therein may be mounted with the SMIT utility or the mount command.
8. Once all of the Volume Groups have been activated and their filesystems mounted,
the disk devices previously used on the RAID Array 410 may be removed. Follow
the steps in section 3.11.6 to remove them.
