EMC Host Connectivity with Emulex FC HBAs and FCoE CNAs for the Linux Environment

Configuring a Boot Device on an EMC Storage Array

Configuring a VNX series or CLARiiON boot device

This section describes how to install an EMC-qualified version of

Linux onto an EMC VNX series or CLARiiON storage system

connected to an Intel-based x86 and x86_64 class systems and AMD

Opteron-based x86_64 class systems.

Preparing the VNX series or CLARiiON system

◆ It is recommended that Access Logix be enabled on the VNX

series or CLARiiON system for LUN masking purposes.

◆ Boot device support requires a Unisphere/Navisphere

Management station with Unisphere/Navisphere Manager or

CLI installed. The station must be separate from the server being

installed and must be networked to the VNX series or CLARiiON

system.

◆ Before installing Linux onto a VNX series or CLARiiON system,

the array must have one bound LUN allocated to the Storage

Group for the server being installed. The LUN must be owned by

the SP connected to the boot HBA.

◆ During the installation procedure, only one LUN should be in the

boot Storage Group, so that the boot LUN may be identified

easily. After the installation, additional LUNs may be added to

the host's Storage Group.

Note: If LUNs need to be created, refer to the Unisphere/Navisphere

Management software documentation for the array type.

Preparing the host

◆ Create a zone that includes the WWPN of the HBA to be used and

one SP port. Add the newly created zone to the zone

configuration in the fabric and enable the zone configuration.

◆ EMC recommends using port 0 on the SP for consistency.

◆ The PCI Fibre Channel HBA must be the lowest-numbered PCI

slot in the server. For example, if there are three adapters in the

system in slots 2, 4, and 5, connect the cable to the adapter in

slot 2. Do not connect cables to other adapters until the

installation is complete and the host rebooted.
