Introduction The "Compaq Storage Agents - Linux" software release contains the Storage Agents program and related files for Linux. The Storage Agents take advantage of the systems management capabilities of Compaq server storage. This release supports Red Hat Linux 7.0, Red Hat Linux 7.1, SuSE Linux 7.0 and SuSE Linux 7.2. 2. Documentation Updates and Corrections This section contains information on known errors and omissions in other documentation. The information in this section is more up-to-date than that in other documentation. 3. Known Issues a. If your system is not certified for the Compaq Health Driver, the slot number information reported by the host controller will not be correct. b. If the cpqarray driver version is 1.0.9 or older, the slot number information reported by the Smart Array controllers will not be correct. c. The World Wide Name information reported by the 64-bit/66MHz Fibre Channel Host Adapter is incorrect. d. If cpqfc driver version is 1.3.2 or older, the slot number information reported by the 64-bit/66MHz Fibre Channel Host Adapter will not be correct. e. While viewing the Web agent, AutoRefresh feature does not function properly for NetScape browsers running under Linux. AutoRefresh does work for browsers running under Windows. 4. Supported Linux Installations Following Linux installations are supported by this release: a. Red Hat Linux 7.0 Server default installation plus "compat-libstdc++" RPM (from Red Hat CD #1). b. Red Hat Linux 7.1 Server default installation. c. SuSE Linux 7.0 installations plus "ucdsnmp" and "compat" RPMs. d. SuSE Linux 7.2 installations plus "ucdsnmp" RPM. 5. Installation 5.1. Before Installing The Compaq Storage Agents for Linux require one or more of the Compaq storage drivers, depending on the host adapter cards installed in the server. Compaq Smart Array Controllers use the cpqarray or cciss driver. The 64-bit/66MHz Fibre Channel Host Adapter uses the cpqfc driver. Compaq storage drivers can be downloaded from http://opensource.compaq.com/. If the driver version in your system is not up-to-date, you may have to download patches and apply it to your driver source to get the most current driver. The site http://opensource.compaq.com/ contains driver patch reference files that detail the available driver patches for the cpqarray, cciss and cpqfc storage drivers. These files contain important information about the correct order to apply driver patches. Make sure that the Compaq Foundation Agents have been installed. 5.2 Installing the Storage Agents from RPM Log in as "root", then use following command to install Storage Agents from RPM: rpm -ivh cmastor-5.20-1.i386.rpm 5.3 Installing the Storage Agents from Compaq Management CD a. Insert the Compaq Management CD into CD-ROM drive and log in as "root" user. b. Mount the Compaq Management CD at the directory /mnt/cdrom (for Red Hat Linux) using following command: mount /dev/cdrom c. Install the Storage Agents using following command: rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/agents/linux/eng/compaq/cmastor/cmastor.rpm d. Un-mount the Compaq Management CD: cd / umount /mnt/cdrom e. Remove the Compaq Management CD from CD-ROM drive. 5.4 After Installation 1. Manually shut down and then re-start the snmpd agent using the following commands: /etc/rc.d/init.d/snmpd stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/snmpd start 2. Manually start the Foundation Agents using the following command: /etc/rc.d/init.d/cmafdtn start 3. Manually start the Storage Agents using the following command: /etc/rc.d/init.d/cmastor start 6.
