This section describes
how you attach a Sun host system to a DS6000™ with
fibre-channel adapters.
Before you attach a host, review the following information:
Note: Review device driver installation documents and configuration
utility documents for Solaris patches that you might need. For example, update
Solaris 8, 9 and 10 with required patches to ensure that the host and the
storage unit function correctly. Adapter drivers will not install properly
if you do not have the latest operating system patched installed.
The following table provides the minimum revision level that is required
for each system element.
| Revision level |
System element |
|---|
| 108528-03 |
kernel update |
| 109524-02 |
ssd driver |
| 109657-01 |
isp driver |
| 108974-03 |
sd, uata drivers |
Notes: - You can use the SDD for Sun host hardware platforms with 32- or 64-bit
mode capabilities that run Solaris 8, 9, or 10.
- To have failover protection on an open system, SDD requires a minimum
of two fibre-channel adapters. The maximum number of fibre-channel adapters
supported is 16 for a total of 16 fibre-channel ports.
- SDD does not support the Sun host system in a clustering environment.
- Use the procedures at http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/software/sdd to
install the Subsystem Device Driver (SDD).
