The software installs.
8
Reboot.
9
Optionally, change the re-registration period, by typing
hrs -i[interval in minutes] -D &
and press
Enter
.
This causes HRS to run in the background as a daemon, registering at the specified time interval.
The default re-registration period is 5 minutes.
Installing the Host Registration Service for Linux
To install HRS, perform the following steps:
1
Obtain the HRS file from the website or from your customer service representative.
2
At the command line, type
rpm -i HostRegServ-2.0-x.i386.rpm
3
Reboot the host.
The HRS utility will start when the system is booting.
If you reinstall the HRS utility, you must uninstall previous versions first. Use the following procedure:
1
At the command line, type
ps -ef | grep hrs
This command outputs the process ID.
2
At the command line, type
kill -9 (process id)
At the command line, type
rpm -e HostRegServ
Using Scalar Firewall Manager (SFM)
Scalar
®
Firewall Manager (SFM) is a software feature that collects all host and target information and
manages the end-to-end access control in the SAN. It allows the system administrator to control access
privileges between individual Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) and target devices connected to the appliance’s
SCSI and Fibre Channels.
SFM provides you with a finer degree of access control than channel zoning. The
Channel Zoning
feature
allows you to map an entire channel to specified host or hosts. SFM maps selected LUNs on selected
channels to a specified host or hosts on a SAN-wide basis.
SFM can be used to allow multiple Fibre Channel hosts connected via switches and hubs to be able to share
the same SCSI or Fibre Channels while restricting their access to selected LUNs on those channels.
Using SFM does not require the purchase of a license when used to manage access control in SANs
consisting of ADIC FC libraries.
Note
If you are using an SNC outside of a Scalar library, the SFM feature is called
Virtual Private SAN (VPS). To use VPS, you can still follow these instructions.
Wherever the instructions specify “SFM,” substitute “VPS.”
Note
When you migrate to extended VPS (eVPS) your mappings must be managed
through eVPS. The SFM screen is disabled as a result of the migration.
