Chapter 8. Configuring ProtecTIER using ptconfig
This chapter provides instructions for using the ptconfig utility to configure
ProtecTIER for use with the TS7650G for both VTL and OpenStorage
configurations, and enable the replication feature, if applicable.
The ProtecTIER commands in this chapter are performed on stand-alone servers, or
on Server A in a cluster. Server B in a cluster is configured using procedures
provided later in this document.
Throughout this chapter the terms server and node, and target and destination,
are used interchangeably depending upon the task being performed. For
definitions of these terms, refer to “Terminology used in this document” on page 2.
Attention: Before you begin ProtecTIER software configuration, confirm that the
attached disk storage has been properly configured for use with the TS7650G.
Failure to do so could result in the Red Hat Linux operating system having to be
reinstalled on one or more of the TS7650G servers. Confirm disk storage setup by
following the documentation specific to your attached storage.
Reinstalling Red Hat Linux is a customer responsibility. Should doing so become
necessary, refer the customer to the Recovery appendix of the IBM System Storage
ProtecTIER User's Guide for Enterprise Edition and Appliance Edition, IBM form
number GC53–1156, provided on the IBM System Storage TS7650 with ProtecTIER
Publications CD, for detailed instructions.
Note: TS7600 products depend on the RAS package to gather logs at the time of
the failure and send a call home packet. When the RAS package is not installed,
the customer must call 1(800) IBM SERV (in North America, only) or visit
www.ibm.com/planetwide to obtain hardware support.
The ProtecTIER software must also be reinstalled following reinstallation of Red
Hat. This is typically a customer responsibility. Refer the customer to the Recovery
appendix of the IBM System Storage ProtecTIER User's Guide for Enterprise Edition
and Appliance Edition, IBM form number GC53–1156, provided on the IBM System
Storage TS7650 with ProtecTIER Publications CD.
Prerequisites
Before configuring ProtecTIER, verify that the following prerequisites and
conditions have been met:
v
Hardware components are installed. See Chapter 4, “Installing the TS7650G
hardware,” on page 17 for additional information.
v Cabling and physical connections (including those to the customer's local area
network (LAN) and replication network, if applicable, using assigned IP
addresses) are complete. See “Cabling a stand-alone gateway” on page 35 or
“Cabling a clustered gateway” on page 49 for additional information.
v The factory-installed copy of Red Hat Enterprise Linux v5.4.x with Kickstart
(ks.cfg), is resident on each server.
v
RAID groups have been created. This task occurs outside the scope of the
gateway installation process.
