Description
This document is a quick installation guide for installing and configuring StorADE 2.4 for a Sun StorEdge 3510(SE3510) array. The installation is for a master StorADE server and must have a network connection to the array(s).

With StorADE 2.4 installed you can monitor the array and have access to additional troubleshooting features.

Important note about out-of-band access:
Only out-of-band access to the array will allow you to use StorADE's troubleshooting features.

Notes:

  • This document contains responses to questions asked during the StorADE install. The responses should be used as an example only as your needs and the responses used may vary.
  • For more information, including a complete StorADE configuration explanation, refer to "Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment" documentation found in
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/stor-res-mgmt-194283.html
  • The software and patches can be downloaded by users with an account in My Oracle Support http://support.oracle.com/, go to "Patches and Updates" and search for "Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment".

Steps to Follow

Installation
=============
On the host that will monitor the array, prepare the downloaded software for installation:

# uncompress CDImage_2.4.12.009.tar.Z
# tar xvf CDImage_2.4.12.009.tar

Once the software has been prepared you can run the "install" script that has been supplied with the software.

# ./install

Once the install is running answer yes to the first two questions

  • The Storage A.D.E. 2.4 - Enterprise Edition [y/n] : y
  • The Storage A.D.E. 2.4 - Management Station UI [y/n] : y


If your java is at a lower revision you will be prompted to update your java revision. Failure to do so will result in unpredictable behavior of StorADE.

Note: Hosts that do not have a data connection to the array will only be able to do out-of-band management of the array.

Patch Installation
==================

Running ras_install
==============================
As requested after package and patch installation, run the following:

# /opt/SUNWstade/bin/ras_install

Answer the questions asked in the script (the best way for the first
install is to confirm the default answers):

#opt/SUNWstade/bin/ras_install
   **** Installing the Package and Crons ****
? Are you installing a Master or a Slave Agent? (Enter M=master,S=slave,E=Empty Master)[M/S/E]: (default=M) M
? Do you want to turn on https security [Y/N](default=N) N
? Select language for GUI [en,B=Browser](default=B) B
 *** Master Install ***
This script will now add the inet service to the inetd config file.
/etc/services is now updated.
/etc/inetd.conf is now updated.
? Do you want to C=start or P=stop the Agent cron [C/P] : (default=C) C
  ** cron installed.
- Resetting the inetd services to see the new rashttp service.
- Testing access to the webserver, (this will timeout after 30 secs) ...
  ***** ping 'sanconfig.france.sun.com' succeeded!
  1/6 attempting to contact agent service...
  *** Contacted agent service (830ff810).
  SUNWstade installed properly!

Filling the /etc/deviceIP.conf File
====================================
If the master StorADE server will use an out-of-band connection (refer to note in Description section) to monitor the SE3510 array, fill the following file:

# vi /etc/deviceIP.conf
#
# Sample configuration file for devices that support IP discovery 
# 
# Enter device IP address and name  
# Note: The name is optional
#
# 10.0.0.1 switch1
# 10.0.0.2 T3b
# SE3510 array 
129.157.218.148 se3510-73g-a-epar02 3510


Note: The type of the array, "3510" in the example above, must be specified after the array name in the deviceIP.conf file.

Discover the array with ras_admin
===================
/opt/SUNWstade/bin # ./ras_admin discover_deviceIP
  Reading deviceIP: 10.1.229.114 storage-minnow-fc 3510
   Start Discover::fromIP on 10.1.229.114
    - found 1 device(s)
  Adding devices from deviceIP.local to configuration:
  adding device : storage-minnow-fc/206000c0ff004b07/ip=10.1.229.114

Setting up the sa_admin role and assigning users
====================
This step is required to be able to run diagnostic tests.

create the sa_admin role

# roleadd -c "SA Role" -s /bin/pfcsh -A "solaris.*" -P "All" sa_admin

Assign a password to the sa_admin role. In this example, the password is fido.

# passwd sa_admin ### Use password fido

Create a user named admin assigned to the sa_admin role:

# useradd -c "SA Admin" -s /bin/csh -R sa_admin -A "solaris.*" admin

 Assign the password to the user admin. In this example, the password is fido.

# passwd admin ### Use password fido

Configuring StorADE
====================
From any hosts that have network access to the master StorADE server, launch a web browser and type:

https://<master_hostname>:6789
A login is required.
Enter admin for the userid
Select sa_admin for the role
Enter fido for the password

Follow the basic installation steps:
1. Review Site information. Enter all the mandatory information about the site, then click Submit
2. Click Inventory -> Name of the 3510
   Once you have completed this setup, you should be able to have a report for the array. Diagnostic test are also available from this view.
