IBMSAN can be downloaded from the FAStT/DS4000 Support Website: http://www.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/disk/ Please refer to the IBMSAN readme included in the IBMSAN package for installation instructions. For the native NetWare Failover, you must use Novell NetWare 6.0 with Support Pack 3 or higher or NetWare 6.5 with Support Pack 2 or higher. In addition, in the DS4000 Storage Manager Subsystem Management wondow, select the 'NetWare Failover' Host Type for the storage partition that the Fibre Channel HBA ports in the Netware server are defined. NOTE: Do not use the drivers that are available with NetWare 6.0 Support Pack 3 or 4 or NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 1.1. Download the following 3 files and place in c:\nwserver on the NetWare server if the version in the Novell support web site is newer than the version installed in your Netware server. Download the newest LSIMPE.CDM from http://support.novell.com : TID# 2966837 and follow the installation instructions in the Novell TID. Always check the Novell support web site for the latest version of the LSIMPE.CDM. In some cases, the IBM Support web site for DS4000 product will have the LSIMPE.CDM that one should use until Novell releases the new maintenance pack that incorporates changes between Novell Netware schedule maintenance releases. Check the README that is included in the DS4000 Storage Manager version 9 host software package for Novell Netware OS for more info. Download the updated NWPA.NLM from http://support.novell.com : TID # 2968190 and follow the installation instructions in the Novell TID. Download the newer MM.NLM from http://support.novell.com : TID# 2968794 and follow the installation instructions in the Novell TID. After the Device Driver is installed, edit the STARTUP.NCF for the following: Add 'SET MULTI-PATH SUPPORT = ON' Add 'Load LSIMPE.CDM' before the SCSIHD.CDM driver Add the 'AEN' command line option to SCSIHD.CDM, expl: 'Load SCSIHD.CDM AEN' Your STARTUP.NCF file should look somewhat like the following: SET Multi-path Support = ON LOAD MPS14.PSM LOAD IDECD.CDM LOAD IDEHD.CDM LOAD LSIMPE.CDM LOAD SCSIHD.CDM AEN LOAD IDEATA.HAM SLOT=10007 LOAD ADPT160M.HAM SLOT=10010 LOAD ADPT160M.HAM SLOT=10011 LOAD QL2300.HAM SLOT=4 /LUNS /ALLPATHS /PORTNAMES /XRETRY=400 LOAD QL2300.HAM SLOT=5 /LUNS /ALLPATHS /PORTNAMES /XRETRY=400 Disable all other multi-path support. For example, when using QLogic adapters, load the driver with '/luns /allpaths /portnames'. The 'allpaths' option disables the QLogic failover support. Startup the server. If your configuration is correct you will not need to set the failover priorities for your LUNs, the LSIMPE.CDM driver will configure these. Use the multi-path documentation to verify the failover devices. This documentation is available from http://support.novell.com/cgi- bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/10070244.htm ====================================================================== 8. Install FAStT_MSJ -------------------- If FAStT_MSJ for WIN32/NetWare is not currently installed you should install it now. FAStT_MSJ and the qlremote agent are needed for Fibre path diagnostics. See the FAStT_MSJ publications for instructions on the installation procedure for FAStT_MSJ and the qlremote agent for WIN32 / NetWare. Note: FAStT MSJ will be referred to as Qlogic SAN-Surfer in future releases. ====================================================================== 9. Removing the Driver ---------------------- For NetWare 6.0 1. From the NetWare server prompt, load the appropriate NetWare program: LOAD NWCONFIG 2. Select "Driver options" from the main menu. 3. Select "Configure disk and storage device drivers". 4. Select "Deselect a selected driver". For NetWare 6.5: 1. From the NetWare server prompt, load the appropriate NetWare program: LOAD HDETECT 2. Select and press . 3. Select and press . 4. Select the storage adapters and press . 5. Select and press . 6. Select the correct driver and press . ====================================================================== 10. Driver Optional Parameters ------------------------------ The HAM driver has two types of optional parameters: 1. System parameters (specified at driver load time) 2. NVRAM parameters (stored in the adapter nvram) These are described in the following subsections. ====================================================================== 10.1. System Parameters ----------------------- Driver optional system parameters are specified on the driver load line. There are two types of driver opional parameters: 1. Global - the parameter acts on all driver instances. 2. Instance - the parameter acts only on the individual driver instance in which it is specified. NOTE: "QL2x00" below refers to one of the following: 2300. The exception to this is the configuration file "QL2x00.CFG" where the "x" character is literal. SLOT=n (Instance) Specifies to NetWare the PCI slot number n of the adapter for which to load this driver instance. LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS (Instance) Specifies to NetWare to scan for all luns during the load of this driver instance (otherwise NetWare will only scan for lun zero devices); this is required for all RAID susbsystems. LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /ALLPATHS (Global) Disables failover and reports to NetWare all devices on all adapter paths; this is required when failover is being handled by an upper layer driver or CDM such as Novell NetWare's multi-pathing. LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /ALLPATHS /PORTNAMES (Global) Internally tracks devices by portname rather than nodename; this is required when storage luns do not have a 1:1 correspondence across portnames. LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /PORTNAMES /GNNFT (Instance) Uses a single GNNFT rather than a GAN sequence to query the fabric name server. LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /GNNFT /XRETRY This will extend the retry count for any I/O command that experiences failure with one of the following SK/ASC/ASCQ codes: 2/04/01 6/8B/02 /CONSOLE (Global) Sends system alerts to the server console when failover and failback events occur. LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /CONSOLE ====================================================================== 10.2. NOVRAM Parameters ---------------------- The adapter parameters are stored in the adapter's nvram; these are also referred to as adapter nvram parameters. The adapter nvram parameters are modified by entering Fast!UTIL during server hardware boot (press ALT-Q when prompted by the adapter). In Fast!UTIL, first select the host adapter, and then select "Configuration Settings". Then, under the following headings, you will see these parameters (This NOVRAM parameter listing is applicable only when the adapter BIOS is of version 1.35 or higher. For adapter with older BIOS, the NOVRAM parameters are categorized in a different order) Host Adapter Settings --------------------- + Frame Size : Loop Reset Delay + Adapter Hard Loop Id + Hard Loop Id + Connection Options + Fibre Channel Tape Support + Data Rate Advanced Adapter Settings ------------------------- + Execution Throttle + Luns Per Target + Enable LIP Reset + Enable LIP Full Login + Enable Target Reset + Login Retry Count + Port Down Retry Count + Link Down Timeout + Drivers Load Risc Code : Extended Error Logging @ RIO Operation Mode @ Interrupt Delay Timer Key: + Used by HAM driver (change effects behavior) @ Default value expected by HAM driver (do Not change) = Overridden by HAM driver (change has no effect) : Not used by HAM driver (change has no effect) NOTES ----- 0. The QLA200 does not use any of these nvram parameters. 1. Enable both of the following to support FC-Tape (see "Extended Firmware Settings" above): Fibre Channel Tape Support 2. The timeout for port down is set [in seconds] by (see "Advanced Adapter Settings" above): Port Down Retry Count The timeout for link down is set [in seconds] by (see "Advanced Adapter Settings" above): Link Down Timeout For best results, set these parameters to 30 or higher (seconds). ====================================================================== 11. Known Issues and Limitations -------------------------------- - The Storage Manager Agent should be unloaded when not used for system configuration. When the Storage Manager Agent is loaded and a fibre path suffers a failure it is possible for the NetWare server to abend. The Storage Manager Agent can be unloaded by following these steps. 1. At the server console type: java -show look for the line "devmgr.versioned.agent.AgentServer.......................QQQ" where QQQ is the process id. 2. At the server console type: java -killQQQ where QQQ is the process id from the java -show command.. - NetWare 6 may install the following in your 'startup.ncf' file" LOAD QLCSFTE.CDM You must either remove or comment this line out of your startup.ncf file for use with the IBM FAStT Storage Subsystems. ====================================================================== 12. Additional Notes -------------------- 12.1. PCI Hot Plug ------------------ NOTE: This procedure addresses only the driver-related portion of the PCI Hot Swap operation. The server must have PCI slots that are capable of being powered up and down independently. Depending on the server platform, this entire operation may be controlled by a platform specific software module supplied by the platform vendor. In such a case, these commands are issued directly to the driver and do not require the operator to enter them. The IBM Netfinity PCI Hot Plug System Bus Driver for Novell NetWare V5.1 can be downloaded from the IBM Support Site for your specific server model at http://www.pc.ibm.com/support/us. PCI Hot Plug works by unloading a specific instance of the driver associated with a specific host adapter. It allows a failed adapter to be removed and replaced by an adapter of the same type without disrupting the operation of other adapters of the same type. The steps necessary to perform a hot swap operation are listed below. 1. Type "List Devices" or "List Storage Adapters" at the server console. You will see a list similar to this example: [V591-A0-D0:0] SCSI HARD DISK [V591-A0-D1:0] SCSI HARD DISK [V591-A1-D3:0] SCSI HARD DISK [V591-A1-D4:0] SCSI HARD DISK 2. If it were desired to remove host adapter instance 0 controlling the first two hard drives, the operator would enter the following command: REMOVE STORAGE ADAPTER A0 3. After the host adapter has been replaced, the operator would make the new adapter operational by loading another instance of the driver using the normal load command syntax. For example: LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 ====================================================================== 12.2. 256 LUN Support --------------------- To find all LUNS, load the driver with the /LUNS qualifier. For example: LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS Or, if the driver is already loaded, use the command SCAN ALL LUNS at the server console prompt to find all LUNS (new and existing LUNS). ** To set the LUNs Per Target parameter: 1. Reboot the hardware, and do CTRL - Q when QL2x00 banner appears. 2. Select the desired adapter. 3. Select Configuration Settings. 4. Select Advanced Adapter Settings. 5. Select LUNs Per Target and change the LUNs Range. 6. Press ESC twice and select Save. 7. Press ESC again and select Reboot. ====================================================================== 12.3 Server Memory Recommendations ---------------------------------- In general, at least 512MB of memory is recommended. For large numbers of large volumes, at least 1024MB is recommended. ====================================================================== 12.4 Debug Driver Information ----------------------------- This package also includes the debug version of the QL2300 adapter driver. This driver is identified as ql2300d.HAM. The debug driver provides additional driver information that is dumped to an additional console screen. The format for the debug information is as follows. HAM DRIVER DEBUG SCREEN ======================= Every 1 second: A0=0/1234 <0,0> {0,0} 5678 A1=0/1234 <0,0> {0,0} 5678 A0 adapter instance index 0 A1 adapter instance index 1 0/1234 0 unresolved interrupts / 1234 total number of interrupts <0,0> 0 io command timeouts ,0 mailbox command timeouts {0,0} 0 io commands in pending queue structures , 0 io commands currently executing on fibre 5678 5678 seconds since last interrupt occurred Notes: a. Unresolved interrupt is when the isp indicates that it has an interrupt pending, but when the driver reads the completion registers it finds no work to do. b. The total number of io commands outstanding from Netware is the sum x+y of the numbers inside braces {x,y}. Every 10 seconds: FindTimedOutCommands(An): Searching... An adapter instance index n This indicates that the driver is searching for any IO commands that have not completed and have expired their timeout counter; when none are found, nothing is printed; otherwise the timed out IO commands are identified and then requeued for retry. ====================================================================== 12.5 Support for DMI and QMS ----------------------------- This driver supports DMI (Desktop Management Interface) allowing QLogic adapter information and statistics to be queried by a remote Windows client running the IBM FAStTMSJ. Please refer to the readme file for FAStTMSJ and the IBM FAStTMSJ User's Guide for further information. ====================================================================== 13.
