IBM System Storage DS3000: Introduction and Implementation Guide
sh ./SMIA-LINUX26-02.17.B5.05.bin
4. We do not show the installation screens and steps here, because the installation process
is covered in detail in 5.2, “Install Storage Manager on Linux” on page 100.
Once the DS3000 Storage Manager is installed, we need to add the DS3200 subsystem in
the Enterprise Management Window and prepare the logical drives for our Linux server. For
simplicity, we will create just one logical drive of 10GB.
We also have to define our Linux host server in the Storage Manager and map it to the logical
drive. However, no I/O should be issued to the logical drive yet. We will only start using it after
the RDAC installation.
We have already explained how to add storage subsystems, define hosts, prepare logical
drives and map them in Part 3, “Administration” on page 115 so we do not repeat these steps
here. Figure 15-2 shows our 10 GB logical drive named 1 and mapped to the host server
COLORADO.

15.4 Install RDAC for Linux
RDAC for Linux is available for download on IBM Systems support Web site. The IBM Web
page leads you to the actual download Web page URL:
http://www.lsi.com/rdac/ds3000.html
Download the appropriate RDAC for your Linux kernel version (either 2.4 or 2.6) and continue
with the next section. In our case, we use RHEL 4, so we downloaded the RDAC for kernel
Version 2.6.
15.4.1 Build the RDAC driver
The RDAC package is available in a compressed tar file.
1. Unpack the file using the following command:
tar -zxvf rdac-LINUX-09.01.B5.39-source.tar.gz
