4.7 VD800 Virtual Disk Controller

This software supports fault management and management software linkage for the VD800 virtual disk controller.

  1. Hierarchical control processor settings

    Softek Storage Cruiser 1.2.1 (hereafter referred to as SSC) Agent is installed on the hierarchical control processor (server node) contained in the VD800.
    To monitor the hierarchical control processor as a server node monitored by this software, make the following settings to register the hierarchical control processor with this software:

    1. Make a setting in /etc/services.

      SSC Agent communicates with the operation management server through LAN port number 4917 by default.
      Therefore, include this port number in the /etc/services file as shown below to declare use of the port number.
      If no port number is specified, SSC Agent is started with port number 4917.

      Example

      Contents of /etc/services file setting

      # service name   port number/protocol name
      sscruisera       4917/tcp

      If the port number is already being used, change the port number to one that is not.
      If changing the port number, however, use the one corresponding to the same service name set on the operation management server.

    2. Make a setting in the /etc/hosts file.

      Include an IP address that enables communication with the operation management server (manager).
      In an environment in which IP addresses are converted (such as NAT), specify an IP address that enables communication from the operation management server, instead of the IP address of a server node.

      Example

      Example of /etc/hosts file setting:

      10.10.10.10 spm-0-ext
    3. Specify the SSC Agent startup IP address.

      Specify an IP address that enables communication with the operation management server (manager).
      Specify the IP address defined in the /etc/hosts file of b. as the startup address in the following command:

      # /opt/FJSVssagt/bin/setagtip -i startup IP address

      After executing the above command, stop and restart SSC Agent.
      Execute the following commands to stop and restart SSC Agent.

      Stopping SSC Agent:

      # /opt/FJSVssagt/bin/pstorageagt

      Starting SSC Agent:

      # /opt/FJSVssagt/bin/sstorageagt
    4. Search for and register the hierarchical control processor.

      Select the base domain of the resource view, right-click in the base domain view, and select [Register] - [Register a server].
      In the displayed view, specify the IP address (Agent startup IP address) used for communication with the manager of the hierarchical control processor, and click the <OK> button.

      When search and registration processing is completed, the hierarchical control processor (server node) icon is displayed in the base domain.

  2. Fibre Channel switch, disk array device, and tape library device contained in the VD800

    [Device settings]

    Construct and set up the environment for the Fibre Channel switch, disk array device, and tape library device contained in the VD800, as described in this manual.

    [Device registration]

    Refer to "5.2.1 Device search" to register the devices.
