Sun StorEdge 3511 installation notes


pkgadd'd: SUNWsccli SUNWscsa SUNWscsd SUNWscsu SUNWscui
SUNWscsd had a minor problem adding the ssconfig user, due to a uid conflict with the ssadmin user just created. I made ssconfig a duplicate of ssadmin – not sure that the home dir and shell and group are OK.
Rebooting, and... Although I didn't touch the networking, it's all messed up. I did run-after though, so perhaps the default route got toasted or something. Just had to replace the default route, because of the weird netmask. This probably should be fixed.

However, mpxio is already disabled in this file. The article pertains to 3510's, this is a 3511.
2005-08-17 Posted to http://forum.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=182 asking: 1) For an overview of the install process 2) Why I can see FC-looking stuff in probe-scsi-all but not on the OS itself 3) What we need to do to get serial communications going between our Cyclades and the 3511 with serial ports

4.9.1 Configuring a Host COM Port to Connect to a RAID Array (from the above installation document) The RS-232 COM (serial) port on either controller module can be used to configure and monitor the RAID array using the controller firmware. It can be connected to a VT100 terminal, terminal emulation program, terminal server, or the serial port of a server. 1. Use a null modem serial cable to connect the COM port of the RAID array to the serial port on a host workstation. A null modem serial cable is included in your package. 2. Set the serial port parameters on the workstation as follows: * 38,400 baud * 8 bit * 1 stop bit * No parity If your host uses the Solaris operating system, see Section E.2, Using the tip Command for Local Access to the Array for instructions about setting up a tip session to communicate using the COM port. To see platform-specific details for other operating systems, see the appendix that describes the operating system your server uses.
Appendix D.2 (StorEdge 3000 series) DB9 COM Port The COM port is a female DB9 connector that requires a male DB9 null modem cable.

adb0200 is connector number on adapter says cyclades console
disable hw flow on cyclades side for storedge 3511. Dtr and dsr too? Since storedge has only 3 live pins: gnd, txd, rxd
Alex believes we need str thru for 3511 to cyclades
05-8-18 3:55 pm cyclades empirical pinout w alex xmit 3 - nonzero v means output gnd 4? Rcv 6 - no v means input matches cyclades' diagram nothing's floating if you connect a 6v to another port, and the v is 0, then that pin is floating. If not floating, v should go to 6. What if connect a 5 to a 12? Discuss later
ttyC17 for 3511 on console.nac
25 pin rs-232 is standardized less than 9 pin
look at edge symmetrically on edge, comparing two rj45 cables. plastic thingy should point off in same direction: connectors should be oriented the same.
thank tri for 3310 comments and loaning laptop!
Tri's laptop: std 9 pin pc connector compaq armada e500 5 gnd 3 xmt 2 rcv because connecting 5 to 3 gives nonzero as does 5 to 2
two kinds of "twist"? Xmt/rcv vs all pins? Probably more than that, really :)

i'm in minicom now on console.nac
Alex's oscilloscope - sees data from conserve.nac when Judy types can tell bps - 9600 leads to question "why can't laptop and console.nac talk then"? likely a wiring problem conserve - oscilloscope - laptop bad conserve - oscilloscope good now it's working (conserve to tri's laptop) - why?

tri's laptop to 3511 using "flip cable" not working, but it says 9600 in hyperterminal before change speed check one more thing : measure electrically sound Alex says it looks good adding scope, redundant, doing anyway, scope not showing anything going to 38400 com1 still not seeing anything in scope Alex double checking connections seem fine switched to other serial port on 3511 on physically lower serial port now (of two total serial ports) getting data, but hitting enter gives nothing, ctrl-c did though! trying higher serial port again: enter worked now: bottom woke up top? Trying 9600 on lower port - will 3511 adapt?
back to where we were cablewise, red positive on this one green negative 25 pin ground works rj conn ground doesn't show up because it moves around blinking means transmission want green to no lights or red to no lights, but not "color to color", which means a conflict. Dark to dark (no leds lit) is no problem If you use Alex's breakout box, be sure to turn it off when you're done, so the batteries don't run down Uses 9v batteries absence of the light is 0 or ground can't see if something's floating with this particular breakout box, but a better one could
Approximately 9:20AM, 2005-08-19, called Dynamic Systems. Tried to reach Ray first - no answer. Called inside sales (310) 337-4400 ext. 0, reached someone. She indicated that someone would call me back within 15 minutes. Immediate phone questions Proportionalize urgency: 0) Hard deadline on Monday 1) I was on vacation until Tuesday 2) Tuesday I studied QFS 3) Wednesday I studied QFS 4) Thursday I worked with Judy and Alex on the serial comm 5) Today I'm scrambling to get an overview of the process :( Overview of installation process: 0) General steps 1) What packages 2) What config files (mcf only?) 3) What commands Communication with 3511: 1) Do we truly require 2 serial connections and not just one? 2) Can we do the configuration via fibre instead of serial, or are there things that can only be done via serial? 3) Can we do the configuration via ethernet, once we've assigned an IP address to the firmware? 4) Most important one? If configuring via serial, what keystroke will refresh the screen? Our conserver is a bit confused by the running count of seconds (or something like that). Tried mrxvt and xterm, neither wanting to refresh screen or display something that looks useful.
2005-08-19 11AM Sent growfs question to comp.unix.solaris
vt100 ansi ^L storage download san foundation packages search for san 4.4.6 tiny, script installit: 80 M need all recommended patches! 3511 packages sccli - only, for now gui packages storaid - manage reporting san? Yes, we need the SAN packages, even if we're only doing NAS. Steve believed he had told me this before. I have nothing about it in my notes from the meeting we had with DynSys and Sun. Front and back of LUN, remainder in background Yes I can call Steve Scharf's cell phone for help. See palm address book. top controller (top serial port) is primary, bottom controller (bottom serial port) is secondary. Will only need bottom controller if top controller has problems. Steve reiterated that we're going to require all of the recommended patches - "I mentioned that", this is another thing that's not in my notes, but I was probably assuming that autoinstall would include them, which it doesn't - or at least didn't.
My growfs was taking forever, so I interrupted it by sending a break and reset-all'ing. However, a subsequent growfs panicked the system. :( I probably should've done something with -s, but why is this so silly-complicated? Anyway, I'm going to have to reinstall now.
2005-08-19 I've now tried both minicom and console/conserver, sending break, sending ^L, sending ^R, sending ^C. None of these are working. In console I tried all 5-6 break sequences available - none appeared to do anything, and in minicom I tried the only one available - and it got stuck. Then tried ^A-^Z (except ^S) via console/conserver, but none of them did anything useful.
2005-08-19 11:24 I've had a "recommended patches" download going via mozilla on esmft1 for a while now. I have a notify-when-up on it. It's going to /var/tmp for now at least.
Related software appears to be at: http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp?cat=Systems%20Administration&tab=3&subcat=Storage%20Management
I finally found it much more quickly, by giving up on the sun search engine, and instead using google groups. Then within about 5 or 10 minutes, I found this: http://www.sun.com/storage/san https://sdlcweb4b.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet/DownloadPage:~:com.sun.sunit.sdlc.content.DownloadPageInfo;jsessionid=F3E5C27BCDDC688E25FE7435B338B724;jsessionid=F3E5C27BCDDC688E25FE7435B338B724 ...and verified that the SFS stuff is something that Francisco had already obtained for me. :( Too many cooks for too little communication.
2005-08-19 12:20PM Found pkgadd'd all the SFS stuff, left voicemail for Steve Scharf indicating I'd found it using google, and indicating that the serial stuff is still troublesome, and also that I'd still like to know if it's OK to reboot the 3511 stuff or somehow enable a break sequence Now I'm extracting the sun recommended patches. My rsync backup is still going - it clearly won't be the last
2005-08-19 12:22PM Ran out of "disk space" during unzip of recommended patches Removed split-out version of SFS for Sol 9 Re-unzip'ing recommended patches
sun.com/download indexed by letter search with ^F
2005-08-19 12:45PM rsync (drsbackup) completed. Rerunning it Have installit downloaded now (prior to rsync reinitiation) --- 2005-08-19 1:59PM Lunch complete. :) At Engineering Gateway. Initiated one last rsync prior to reinstall from CD
v440 is coming up off the cdrom for an install RAID controllers are showing useful output, but ignoring my inputs completely. I've commented out the ttyC17 (esmf3511a) entry on conserver.cf (?) and restarted conserver. Next I'll restart minicom on ttyC17 and reboot the RAID controllers again.
2005-08-19 2:40PM The serial problem is apparently due to: LG:0 NOTICE: CHL:2 ID:0 Starting Media Scan ...which seems to be uninterruptible, and takes forever. Discovered by running minicom on ttyC17 during a reboot of the RAID controllers. The reinstall of the v440 is underway.
2005-08-19 3:05PM The reinstall without choppy partitions is underway on the v440
2005-08-19 3:21PM Just left a voicemail for Steve Scharf about the serial issue - which I believe is probably due to this "media scan" thing (cut and pasted below). Also, the Solaris 9 reinstall is adding packages now, with a percent meter. 3511 �.......�...............

Because the communication protocol changes from version to version, you must install both the agent and console when upgrading. If different versions of the agent and console co-exist, Sun StorEdge Configuration Service is not able to discover previously configured arrays.

The current "Sun recommended patches" may not be what's required. It may turn out that we'll have to look at the release notes for the versions of patches listed there. :(
2005-08-20 2:24PM copied back over all the QFS and 3511 related stuff (included current sun recommended patches), ran installit, affirmed installation of patch pro, but patch pro blew up without a proxy, so no patch pro to see if our patches are suitable. When installit completed, it indicated a reboot.
2005-08-20 2:28PM Also had to pkadd these: SUNWsccli/ SUNWscsa/ SUNWscsd/ SUNWscsu/ SUNWscui/ ...and now sccli does something a lot more interesting :)
Interesting commands: /opt/SUNWsscs/sbin/sccli (a para-CLI) /opt/SUNWsscs/sscsconsole/ssconsole (gives a GUI, demands a password)
An excellent URL about software configuration, stepwise, of a 3510 array: http://www.zazzybob.com/3510.html It appears to use Veritas instead of QFS, but hopefully the 3510/3511 stuff is relevant. :)

I've deleted the LUN maps, and I've deleted the logical drives. I'm now creating a RAID 5, with a 256M stripe size from 10 disks, including "one parity drive". It should be about 381G in size. Wait, that's not right. The disks are each 381 gig :) _------------------------------------------------------------------------ ld0 59501AF8 58.59GB Primary RAID0 2 0 0 Good ld1 14FF1600 58.59GB Secondary RAID0 2 0 0 Good esmft1-root sbin)
2005-08-20 3:59PM Problem? These 10 disk RAID 5's are adding up to 3.27 terabytes, but the maximum LUN size is supposed to be 2 terabytes. Does that mean we'll need more parity disks than proposed? Can we chop our RAID 5's into multiple LUN's or multiple slices (probably not multiple slices)? really 1.6T LUN limit on Solaris 9 - and that's only with a kernel patch.
2005-08-20 4:11PM Enabled a 300 second automatic cache flush, then turned it off
cache policy is sequential, but could be changed to random. Probably would have
sun case id 64704670 - 2 T lun vs 3.27 T RAID 5's
2005-08-21 11:25AM Discovered from home earlier, that the serial connection to the RAID controllers was broken again. Drove to work, rebooted a bit, flipped things around a bit, eventually found that if I pulled the serial cable out of port 17 on the cyclades hardware and put it instead into port 21, all was well again. I also just tried all three terminal emulations on the RAID controllers, and found that vt100 works best. There's also a color mode, but the box characters looked wrong.
2005-08-21 11:42AM Tried xterm, mrxvt, rxvt, konsole, gnome-terminal, with each of the three terminal emulations available. Then I tried an mrxvt with a few different "ansi" or "microsoft" fonts, but these didn't work out either. Then I tried pterm with what its default font is, and it seems to be working pretty well in ansi color mode.
2005-08-21 12:05PM Renamed esmf3511a to broken, and mode port 21 esmf3511a - on conserver.nac. There's a comment -suggesting- breakage as well
2005-08-21 12:09PM Just discovered that the drive numbers are neither consecutive, nor 100% drives. Specifically: 0-11 are 381G drives 12 is StorEdge 13-15 are empty 16-27 are 381G drives? 28 is another StorEdge 29-31 are empty 34-43 are 381G drives 12+12+10

Apparently, since some sort of reset or other I did, the RAID controllers' device names on the V440 are now /dev/es/ses0 (primary) and /dev/es/ses1 (secondary)

Steve Scharf e-mailed a bit ago: Hey, Dan. A few suggestions: 1. Get a direct serial connection to the array, use the supplied serial cable. Working with the SE 3511 UI is very easy and straightforward. Do this if your serial connections continue to be a problem. 2. Make sure the array firmware is 4.11 or newer. This gives the quick initialization, and numerous other features and bug fixes. Very important. It should already be up-to-date, if not the patch is 113724. 3. Don't use Logical Volumes or NRAID. Keep with Logical Disks, then partition and present. The space calculations were done with 5+1 RAID 5 in all of the expansion trays, with one hot spare in the controller tray. 4. Multi Terabyte support with Solaris 9 is from 08/03 and newer. The QFS filesystem then provides virtually unlimited filesystem support. 5. Enable MPXIO Fibre Channel mutltitasking: Add to /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf: device-type-scsi-optionslist = \ "SUN StorEdge 3511",\ "symmetric-option"; symmetric-option = 0x1000000; EIS-CD: .../ sun/tools/storage/SE3x10/3511 in file 6. If there are any issues with the LUNs you have built, delete them and recreate. You can do this with the UI, check to make sure that the default is to do the quick initialization - it should take just a few minutes to initialize - not the hours that it was taking before! 7. Make sure that you understand how the Primary and Secondary channels are set up, and how they interract. This will determine how your LUNs are presented to the host. I hope that helps! steve
I can't believe they're now saying 5+1's!

2005-08-22 10:54AM I have two notify-when-up's on the init's. One is the usual, and one will page me when the initializations are done. Let's hope it doesn't take 18 hours again, since I didn't get any responses about how to turn on quick init.
Good doc: http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/html/817-3711-13/index.html

2005-08-22 1:41PM I finally got into the 3511 by ethernet, and shortly afterward was able to reenable the serial port. It turned out the machine didn't like the long password I had set previously, but I shortened it up, and it let me right in. :-S
2005-08-22 1:47PM I found a way to get the init progress out of the serial interface (the network interface is slower, believe it or not, even though I dropped the BPS on the serial interface to 9600 - it seems that the network interface is very high latency or something). They're all 5 just over 25% done.
2005-08-22 1:58PM Just left another voicemail for Steve Scharf, reading him my list of questions from my latest e-mail basically. I also just found that if I change something on the 3511 RAID controller via the network, I also see it on the serial port, and vice-versa.
2005-08-22 2:33PM Turns out it's "online initialization mode" that completes fast - almost immediately. It's easy to find serially or via the network, but I don't know where it'd be via sccli Set stripe size to 256K, from 128K default. Told it to use the redundant RAID controller on each creation - not yet sure if this is sufficient for failover.
2005-08-2:42PM A "SID" pertains to the secondary controller. A "PID" pertains to the primary controller.
