The software on the Host Installation CD includes:
■
Sun StorEdge SAN Foundation software – Incorporates drivers and utilities that
enable Solaris data hosts to connect to, monitor, and transfer data in a SAN.
To enable multipathing functionality, each Solaris data host must have Sun
StorEdge Traffic Manager software installed before it can reliably communicate
with the system’s storage. You may also choose to purchase VERITAS software, as
described in “Additional Supported Software” on page 10, to enable Dynamic
Multipathing (DMP).
■
Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment software, Device Edition – Resides
on a data host or management console to monitor devices in the SAN.
■
Sun StorEdge Remote Configuration CLI – Enables Solaris hosts to remotely
configure storage for the Sun StorEdge 6920 system.
Host Software for Other Operating Systems
Additional host software enables data hosts that run operating systems other than
Solaris to communicate with the Sun StorEdge 6920 system. For details about the
supported operating systems and versions, see the Sun StorEdge 6920 System Release
