This section explains the advisory notes.
The Manager, Agent, and Client cannot be used at the same time as other exclusive software described in "Exclusive Software" section from chapter4 to chapter 6. Please follow the instructions and uninstall that software before the installation of this software.
The Manager and Client must be operated at the same version level.
When you upgrade one component, please upgrade the other component to same version level.
This software is not possible to operate on the Internet Protocol Version 6 (hereafter "IPv6") environment. It is necessary to operate on the Internet Protocol Version 4 (hereafter "IPv4") environment.
If both IPv6 and IPv4 are mixed in the operating environment, set the IP address of the following devices which this software communicates to IPv4 format and then operate.
Administrative server
Administrative client
Managed server nodes (including manually embedded server nodes which do not install the Agent)
Managed devices (including manually embedded devices)
For details of the shift, please contact Fujitsu technical staff.
When using zone on Solaris 10 OS, install this software to the global zone. This software can not be installed to the non-global zone.
Zone is handled in this software as follows;
Resource correlation management
Only the global zone is displayed. For the method of displaying the relationship of the global zone and the non-global zone, or performing operation for the non-global zone, refer to the Solaris 10 manual.
For hardware (excluding PRIMEQUEST) used under Windows and Linux, disable NX bit or XD bit using BIOS settings. The BIOS settings for NX bit or XD bit vary with the type of hardware. For particulars of BIOS settings, make inquiries to the relevant hardware vendor.
In addition, PRIMERGY BX620 S2 stands for "NX Support" and PRIMERGY BX620 S3 and PRIMERGY BX620 S4 stand for "Execute Disable Bit".
In this software, the way information displays depends on the particular combination of multi-path configurations used by the physical volumes in LVM, as shown below.
Resource correlation management
For the Device Special File (DSF) names used to display the physical volumes managed in LVM, either legacy DSF names or persistent DSF names are used, but not both together. Which type of DSF name is used depends on the particular combination of multi-path configurations used by the physical volumes.
If the physical volumes in LVM only use PV-LINK multi-path configuration, then all physical volumes will be displayed using legacy DSFs.
For all other multi-path configurations, all physical volumes will be displayed using persistent DSFs.
Type of multi-path configuration for the physical volume | DSF used to display physical volumes |
|---|---|
PV-LINK only | Legacy DSF |
Native multi-path only | Persistent DSF |
Native multi-path and PV-LINK are mixed | |
None (single path only) |
For environments where legacy DSFs have been disabled (or deleted), this software will display information as follows.
Resource correlation management
The raw device information is not displayed.
If any virtual machine functions are being used, install this software into the host operating system. If installed into a guest operating system, it does not work properly.
This software treats the guest OS as follows.
Resource correlation management
Only host operating information is displayed. For how to display the relationship between host operating system and guest operating system and how to operate the guest operating system, refer to the instruction manual for virtualization software.
If VMware Infrastructure 3 Version 3.5 (or later), VMware vSphere 4 (or later) or VMware ESXi 3.5 (or later) is used, there is no need to install an Agent. This environment can display the relationship between a VM host and a VM guest.
This software cannot be installed on VMware ESXi environment.
When the transfer rate of FC port exceeds 4Gbps on the operating ETERNUS SN200 series Fibre Channel switch, Brocade Fibre Channel switch or PRIMERGY Fibre Channel switchblade, set the performance monitoring interval to any one of 5, 10 or 30 seconds. If the performance monitoring interval is set to 60 seconds, the correct performance value may be not acquired from the device.
The Storage Volume Configuration Navigator does not support the following environments:
ETERNUS DX90, ETERNUS DX400 series, ETERNUS DX8000 series
The enclosure for 2.5 inch drive
The model upgraded ETERNUS disk storage systems
