HP StorageWorks Simple SAN Connection Manager User Guide 9
1Introduction
Simple SAN Connection Manager is a GUI-based management application for basic handling of SAN
components such as HBAs, switches, and storage arrays (also referred to as subsystems in this guide). For
managing storage arrays, it uses Microsoft’s VDS. Simple SAN Connection Manager provides simplified
storage management for VDS-compliant storage devices in a single, integrated, wizard-based user
interface.
This user guide is your key to learning and using all of the functionality that Simple SAN Connection
Manager offers for streamlining storage management by leveraging the VDS in Windows Server 2003
and Windows Server 2008.
IMPORTANT: Simple SAN Connection Manager version 3.00 or later is required for the HP SN6000
Fibre Channel Switch. Simple SAN Connection Manager version 2.10 and later can manage the 8/20q
Fibre Channel Switch, and version 3.00 or later can manage the SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch, with
active transparent router ports (TR_Ports). However, Simple SAN Connection Manager cannot manage or
discover remote switches or devices in the remote fabric. The Physical Connection map (see “Viewing a
Physical Connection map,” page 39) displays the remote fabric as a grayed-out switch, but Simple SAN
Connection Manager cannot manage the switch. To present LUNs to remote devices, use the management
interface provided by each storage array.
Simple SAN Connection Manager version 2.00 and earlier does not support the management of fabrics
that include switches with active TR_Ports, and may disrupt communication between the 8/20q Fibre
Channel Switch or SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch and the remote fabric.
NOTE: Simple SAN Connection Manager supports the following switches:
•HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch
•HP StorageWorks SN6000 Stackable 8Gb 24-port Single Power Fibre Channel Switch
•HP StorageWorks SN6000 Stackable 8Gb 24-port Dual Power Fibre Channel Switch

Repeat this procedure to install the software on additional Windows servers.
Linux installation: initial
Follow these steps to install the required software on servers running Linux.
NOTE: To configure servers using other operating systems or non-QLogic HBAs, see “Configuring Simple
SAN Connection Manager for HP-UX and Emulex HBAs,” page 17.
To install the components required by Simple SAN Connection Manager on Linux:
1. Insert the installation CD into the CD-ROM drive of the server.
The installation CD should mount automatically in one of the following locations:
/media/cdrom/
/mnt/cdrom/
/media/cdrecorder/
If the installation CD is not mounted automatically, issue the following commands to mount the CD:
#mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom
# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
IMPORTANT: Under specific distributions, such as RHEL 5, the installation CD is auto-mounted
using the following CD label:
# /media/HpInstallx.x/
If this occurs, the CD may get mounted with the no execution flag, causing the installation script
to fail. Installation failure may be indicated by the following error message:
# ./install_smb.sh
The following is returned:
bash: ./install_smb.sh: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

16 Installing, Upgrading, and Removing Simple SAN Connection Manager
The workaround is to manually mount the installation CD. For example, if the CD was auto-mounted
in /media/HpInstallx.x, issue these commands to unmount, and then remount the CD:
# unmount /media/HpInstallx.x
# mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom
# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
If the unmount command fails with a busy warning, make sure that all applications and consoles
that could be using the CD media are closed, and then try again.
2. Change directory to the linux directory. For example, if the installation CD is mounted in
/mnt/cdrom, issue the following command:
# cd /mnt/cdrom/HP_SSCM/linux/
3. Run the install_smb.sh script as follows:
# ./install_smb.sh
This will install the following components:
• QLogic FC HBA driver (only updated on RH4, Suse 9, and RH5.2)
• HP Array Configuration Utility
• QLogic SANsurfer agent, QLRemote (if possible, the installation program will also start the
SANsurfer agent, QLRemote)
4. If the following message appears at the end of the installation, you must restart the computer, otherwise,
continue with step 6:
New driver and qlremote installed but not active.
For new driver and qlremote to be active either:
Reboot the system (Mandatory in case of Boot From SAN)
or
Stop all the applications using QLogic driver.
Unload QLogic driver by executing following command:
# modprobe -r qla2XXX (ex. qla2300, qla2400)
Reload new driver by executing following command:
# modprobe -v qla2xxx
Start qlremote as follows:
# /etc/init.d/qlremote start
Rebooting the system will automatically load new driver and start qlremote.
5. To install the Linux driver with FDMI enabled (by default, FDMI is disabled), issue the following
command:
# modprobe -v qla2xxx ql2xfdmienable=1
6. To verify that the installation completed, check the FC HBA driver version:
a. To ensure that the driver is installed in the correct location, issue the following command:
# modinfo qla2xxx
The following is returned:
Filename: /lib/modules/2.6.9-55.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla2xxx.ko
Version: 8.02.23 653675A771C3619AEEA4E9A
b. To verify that the driver is loaded, issue the following command:
# lsmod | grep qla2xxx
The following is returned:
qla2xxx_conf 303752 1
qla2xxx 982688 0
scsi_mod 445298 qla2xxx

HP StorageWorks Simple SAN Connection Manager User Guide 17
c. To verify that the correct driver is loaded, issue the following command:
# cat /proc/scsi/qla2xxx/* | grep "Driver version"
The following is returned:
Firmware version: 3.03.25 IPX
Driver version: 8.02.23-fo
Configuring Simple SAN Connection Manager for HP-UX and Emulex
HBAs
Simple SAN Connection Manager is compatible with the HP-UX operating system and Emulex HBAs when
configured as described in this section.
HP-UX configuration
Simple SAN Connection Manager can manage all of your supported HP-UX servers. The HP-UX operating
system provides native software drivers for the HP StorageWorks FC HBAs. For the application to properly
identify your server(s), you must manually enter the FDMI information when the application prompts for it.
For more information, see “Manually entering FDMI information,” page 76.
Emulex HBA configuration
Simple SAN Connection Manager can manage all of your supported Windows and Linux servers that
have Emulex HBAs installed. In order for the application to properly identify your server(s), you must set the
EnableFDMI parameter on the Emulex HBA. Use the HBAnyware software to set the EnableFDMI
parameter to a value of 2.
For detailed instructions on how to enable the FDMI parameter on your Emulex HBA, see your HBA
documentation.
If FDMI is not enabled on the HBA, Simple SAN Connection Manager will prompt you to manually enter
the FDMI information. For more information, see “Manually entering FDMI information,” page 76.
Installing Simple SAN Connection Manager: upgrade installation
Use the HP StorageWorks Simple SAN Connection Manager CD to upgrade a previous installation of the
management software on your management station as described in “Windows installation: upgrade,”
page 17. Then use the same CD to upgrade the HBA driver and other required software on each of the
other servers in your SAN. Depending on the server operating system for the non-management station
installations, refer to either the steps for “Windows installation: upgrade,” page 17 or “Linux installation:
upgrade,” page 21.
Windows installation: upgrade
Follow these steps to upgrade a previous installation of the Simple SAN Connection Manager software on
your management station, or to upgrade the required non-management software on all other servers
running Windows.
To upgrade Simple SAN Connection Manager on Windows:
