Installing EZPilot

Introduction

EZPilot™ from Emulex enables you to configure your Storage Area Network (SAN).

This section describes how to:

• Install EZPilot for a Windows EVA management server.

• Install EZPilot for a Windows non-management server.

• Install the Emulex Linux driver and utilities for a Linux non-management server.

Prerequisites

Operating System Requirements

For Windows Management and Non-Management Servers:

• x86 Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition Service Pack 2

• x64 Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition Service Pack 2

For Linux Non-Management Servers:

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (latest update)

• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (latest service pack)

• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (latest service pack)

Hardware Requirements

Single Switch Configuration (Non-redundant)

• One Windows 2003 server configured as an EVA management server

• Up to three non-management servers

• One HP StorageWorks A8002A 4Gb PCI-e HBA per server

• One HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) 4100 storage system

• One HP StorageWorks 4/8 Base SAN switch with eight licensed ports

Additional non-management servers may be added if additional switch port licenses are purchased.

Contact your HP representative for more information.

Note: All servers must boot from a local disk. SAN boot is not supported by EZPilot.

EZPilot - Installation Section Page 2

High Availability (HA) configuration (Dual-switch)

The following configuration requires the purchase of an additional switch. It allows the SAN to continue

to function fully even if an HBA, switch, or storage controller fails.

• One Windows 2003 server configured as an EVA management server

• Up to five additional non-management servers

• Two HP StorageWorks A8002A 4Gb PCI-e HBAs per server

• One HP StorageWorks EVA4100 storage system

• Two HP StorageWorks 4/8 Base SAN switches with eight licensed ports each

Additional non-management servers may be added if additional switch port licenses are purchased.

Contact your HP representative for more information.

Installed Software Components

The following is a list of some of the EZPilot software components. All of this software is automatically

installed on Windows sytems (if necessary) by the installation process.

• Emulex Storport Miniport driver

• Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) (EVA Management Servers only)

• Microsoft Multipath input/output (MPIO)

• HP MPIO Device Specific Module (MPIO DSM)

• HP Virtual Disk Service (VDS) HW Provider for the EVA (EVA Management Servers only)

• EZPilot SAN Setup Wizard

• EZPilot EVA Setup Wizard (EVA management servers only)

• EZPilot HBA Wizard

• EZPilot Switch Wizard (EVA Management Servers only)

• EZPilot Manager

• HP Command View EVA Software Suite (EVA Management Servers only)

• Adobe Acrobat Reader*

Terminology

The following Emulex and HP terms differ:

• The EZPilot GUI and documentation refer to LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers) as “logical drives”.

Logical drives are synonymous with HP’s terms “virtual disk” or “VDisks”.

• The Emulex phrase “Assigning a host” is synonymous with HP’s phrase “Presenting a host”.

Note: *Acrobat Reader is not automatically installed, but it is contained on the Emulex

Installation CD.

EZPilot - Installation Section Page 3

Installing EZPilot to Create a Windows Management Server

Prerequisites

• If older versions of Emulex, Brocade or HP StorageWorks software were previously installed on

the system you must remove them. Use the Windows Add/Remove Programs feature to remove

the software. If you are prompted to reinstall the Emulex HBA driver during EZPilot installation,

click Yes.

• To automatically obtain network settings for the switch during EZPilot installation, you must have

a DHCP server setup on the IP network and a switch with DHCP support that is enabled.

Otherwise, you must have an IP address available to assign to the switch and know the gateway

address and subnet mask.

Procedure

To create a management server:

1. Install the HBA(s) in the system. Refer to the HBA’s Installation Manual for instructions.

2. Insert the EZPilot CD into the system’s CD-ROM drive.

The EZPilot Installer verification window appears. The window closes automatically when the file

verification process is complete.

The EZPilot EVA Installer welcome page appears.

Figure 1: The EZPilot EVA Installer welcome page

3. Click Next. The EZPilot Installation Options dialog box appears.

Note: You must install one and only one management server.

Caution: Do not install the driver from the CD that shipped with the HBA. EZPilot will install the

necessary driver automatically.

Note: Verification may take several minutes.

Figure 2: The EZPilot EVA Installation Options dialog box

4. Check HP EVA Management Server and click Install. The SAN Host box is checked by default.

5. The License Agreement dialog boxes appear. Check I agree to these terms and conditions

and click Next for each dialog box.

The EZPilot EVA Operation in Progress dialog box appears. The dialog box closes when the

necessary files are copied to the system.

The Welcome to EZPilot SAN Setup Wizard dialog box appears.

Figure 3: The Welcome to EZPilot SAN Setup Wizard dialog box

6. Click Next to perform SAN setup.

7. The EZPilot SAN Setup Prerequisites dialog box appears. Ensure all prerequisites are met and

click Next. The HP EVA driver, Emulex HBA driver and HP MPIO DSM are installed.

HP’s StorageWorks Command View EVA Software Suite installation begins.

Note: If a recent version of the Java Runtime Environment is not already installed, EZPilot

will install it as depicted in Figure 2. This option cannot be unchecked; it is required

for the management server.

Note: This installation will take several minutes.

EZPilot - Installation Section Page 5

Figure 4: The EZPilot EVA Setup License dialog box

8. The EZPilot EVA Setup License dialog box appears enabling you to install a Command View

license. The license is obtained from the HP Webware password center. You may install a

license now or later. Emulex recommends that you install the license now. It will simplify using

EZPilot Manager.

• To obtain a Command View License:

a. From the EZPilot EVA Setup License dialog box, check Install a license now.

b. Select the WWN value and press Ctrl-C to copy it for use in step d.

c. Double-click the http://webware.hp.com link on the EZPilot EVA Setup License dialog

box. The HP Password Delivery Service page appears in a Web browser.

d. Enter your HP order number at the web site. Follow the instructions in the “HP Storage-

Works EVA4100 SAN Starter Kit quick installation” guide. To type the WWN, press Ctrl-V

to paste the WWN you copied previously. Using the “paste” method ensures there are

no typing mistakes. However, you may also manually type in the WWN.

Note: If the server does not have internet access, enter the URL into an Internet

browser on a computer with internet access and follow these instructions.

Note: The WWN is also displayed on the operator control panel of the EVA. This

enables you to obtain the license before installing EZPilot. Make sure you type the

WWN exactly as shown, including the dashes.

EZPilot - Installation Section Page 6

e. The License/Password certificate page of the HP Webware site includes a link to save

the license key/password file. Click on the link to save the file. Make sure you remember

the name and path you assign to the file. Do not change the file’s .dat extension.

f. Exit the browser. If you are not accessing the Web site from the management server,

copy the file to the management server or place it on a network share that is accessible

from the management server.

g. Click Next in the EZPilot EVA Setup License dialog box. The Open License Password

File dialog box appears.

h. Navigate to the license password file you saved and click Open.

• To install a Command View License later:

a. From the EZPilot EVA Setup License dialog box, check Defer license installation and

click Next. If you choose this option you can create logical drives for 180 days. After 180

days you can no longer create logical drives without installing a license.

Figure 5: The EZPilot EVA Setup Configure dialog box

9. The EZPilot EVA Setup - Configure Enterprise Virtual Array dialog box appears. Enter the array

name as you want it to appear on the front panel of the two array controllers. The array name

may contain a maximum of twenty characters. The Number of disk drives field displays the

number of disk drives discovered in the EVA. The Spare Policy feature enables you to set aside

storage space in case a disk drive fails. You can choose to set aside no space or to set aside

enough space to save data from one or two failed drives.

Uncheck Permit <account name> Windows account to log on to Command View EVA if you

don't want to allow your account to log on to Command View EVA. This does not affect the ability

Note: When you set aside space for failed drives, you are reducing the space available for

storage.
