Present new storage from a DAE addition Celerra NS-480

iSCSI through datamovers, not through native iSCSI ports on the back of Clariion ?

Yeah through data movers.

How do I tell?  I have always wondered that.

do you know if this is integrated NS-480 or NS-480FC. Typically on the FC models you use Navisphere to create raid groups, LUNs and then present them to Celerra storage group.

you can run

/nas/sbin/model

it will have FC on the end if it's FC enabled model.

Yes I realized what you were asking right after I sent you the message.  It is FC.  Sorry!  So you configure whatever you want for a RG an LUNs of whatever size in Navisphere?  What do you do specifically on the Celerra side?  That is where I get confused.

That is for non FC right?  This would be FC.

yep, you would run /nas/sbin/setup_clariion -init script

once you present LUNs in Navisphere, you will need to rescan for them on datamovers:

server_devconfig ALL -c -s -a

after this command completes, make sure the new LUNs are visible in output from :

nas_disk -l

they will have an "n" in the inuse column. At this point you should be able to use Celerra Manager and create new file systems ( max 2 TB for iSCSI), and then create iSCSI LUNs within them.  Is there a reason you have decided to go with iSCSI instead of NFS ?

Cool, Thanks!  I understand how to do that in Navisphere.  When you do that in Navisphere what would you need to do on the data movers to make that available?

--

Ahh okay so you use NST to add shelf, present RG and LUNs through Navisphere and then just rescan on the NAS side?

So then on non FC you use NST, then setup script?

not just whatever you want, Celerra is very particular when it comes to raid group construct, LUN size, take a look at the link i posted earlier.

it still applies, it gives you an idea how you need to create your raid groups ..only instead of using the script from the control station, you login to Navisphere and manually create raid groups, LUNs.

Okay got it.  So FC ports on the back of it for direct connect?  Would they just be connecting to the Navisphere RG and LUNs presented through that or the Celerra manager as well?
