When an entire Solaris OS server node device, that Agent installation is already finished, is replaced, delete all access paths from the old server node before this software detects the new server node, and set new host access paths.
When an entire Windows, Linux, or HP-UX server node device with Agent installed is replaced, inherit the access path by following the procedure given below.
Point
Before executing the following procedures, read the notes in "8.3 Replacement of the Parts of Supported Device".
Set a new server node with an IP address different from that of the old server node, and install Agent. If the new server node cannot be set with a different IP address, delete all access paths from the old server node before this software detects the new server node, and set new server node access paths.
Select [View] - [Refresh] from the menu.
Double-click the new device icon in the SAN view to display the view of the device.
Select [Operation] - [View Device] - [Add] to display the old server node.
Without any icon selected, select [Operation] - [Access Path] - [Inherit] - [Mode Start]. The "Access path Inheritance" dialog appears.
If the new HBA icon is dragged and dropped on the old HBA icon (drag&drop) in this state, the Check Access Path Inheritance dialog appears. Selecting <OK> button in this dialog executes access path inheritance. It deletes the access path settings created by the old HBA information from the related device and adds the access path settings created by the new HBA information to the device with inheritance processing. However, if the device requires such StorageAffinity settings on the server node side, they must be defined manually.
Device type | Settings by this software | |
|---|---|---|
Fibre Channel switch | With zoning setting | Deletion of the one-to-one WWPN zoning created with the WWPN of the old adapter, and setting of the one-to-one WWPN zoning created with the WWPN of a new adapter (but no setting of an access path if port zoning does not require access path inheritance) |
Without zoning setting | No setting | |
ETERNUS DX60/DX80 | Security setting | Deletion of the old WWPN and setting of a new WWPN for the HBA in the security setting. |
HostAffinity(Zone) setting | Deletion of the old WWPN of the HBA from the security setting, and setting of a new WWPN in the affinity group (zone). | |
Without security setting | No setting | |
Other storage/tapes/bridges | No setting | |
Using drag&drop operations, you can execute access path inheritance for several adapters until you select <End> button in the "Access path Inheritance" dialog.
The reboot of server node is required when storage is ETERNUS GR series, depending on the following firmware version.
Storage devices | Firmware version |
|---|---|
ETERNUS GR720 | before V11L21 |
ETERNUS GR740 | before V03L52P1939 |
