Read this section if you are installing a AIX PowerPath configuration
with a new or existing server and a new or existing storage system. A
new and existing server and a new and existing storage system are
defined as follows:
new server - A server running AIX and not connected to any storage
system.
existing server - A server running AIX and that is already connected
to one or more storage systems.
new storage system - A CX300, CX500, or CX700 storage system that
has the factory default settings and has never been connected to a
server.
existing storage system - A CX300, CX400, CX500, CX600, CX700, or
FC4700-Series storage system that is already connected to one or
more servers and is in a EMC Navisphere® domain.
All CLARiiON storage systems connected to the server must be CX300,
CX400, CX500, CX600, CX700, or FC4700-Series storage systems. If any other

PowerPath Checklist — Existing AIX Server and New Storage
System
Tasks highlighted with grey in the checklist should be performed
before the service provider arrives, except for the removal of
Application Transparent Failover (ATF) or CDE, which you can have
done by EMC Professional Services.
!
CAUTION
EMC no longer supports ATF or CDE. Before you transition your
server from ATF or CDE to PowerPath, you must
◆
Back up your server configurations.
◆
Back up data on all storage systems connected to the server.
◆
Remove ATF or CDE, which EMC recommends that EMC
Professional Services do, especially if your server configuration
is complex. If you want to remove it yourself, you must use the
procedure in the Removing ATF or CDE Software Before
Installing Other Failover Software document (P/N 069001173),
which is on the Powerlink website with this roadmap.
Simply removing ATF or CDE using the uninstall procedure in
the AIX ATF administrator’s guide or the AIX utilities
administrator’s guide may not return the server to it original
state, and may result in lost data.

PowerPath Checklist — Existing AIX Server and Existing Storage
System
This checklist assumes that the existing AIX server and existing
storage system are already connected in a SAN or direct attach
configuration. Tasks highlighted with grey in the checklist should be
performed before the service provider arrives, except for the removal
of ATF or CDE, which you can have done by EMC Professional
Services.
!
CAUTION
EMC no longer supports ATF or CDE. Before you transition your
server from ATF or CDE to PowerPath, you must
◆
Back up your server configurations.
◆
Back up data on all storage systems connected to the server.
◆
Remove ATF or CDE, which EMC recommends that EMC
Professional Services do, especially if your server configuration
is complex. If you want to remove it yourself, you must use the
procedure in the Removing ATF or CDE Software Before
Installing Other Failover Software document (P/N 069001173),
which is on the Powerlink website with this roadmap.
Simply removing ATF or CDE using the uninstall procedure in
the AIX ATF administrator’s guide or the AIX utilities
administrator’s guide may not return the server to it original
state, and may result in lost data.

PowerPath Configurations for HP-UX
Read this section if you are installing an HP-UX® PowerPath™
configuration with a new or existing server and a new or existing
storage system. A new and existing server and a new and existing
storage system are defined as follows:
new server - A server running HP-UX and not connected to any
storage system.
existing server - A server running HP-UX that is already connected
to one or more storage systems.
new storage system - A CX300, CX500, or CX700 storage system that
has the factory default settings and has never been connected to a
server.
existing storage system - A CX300, CX400, CX500, CX600, CX700,
FC4500, or FC4700-Series storage system that is already connected to
one or more servers and is in an EMC Navisphere® domain.
All CLARiiON storage systems connected to the server must be CX300,
CX400, CX500, CX600, CX700, FC4500, or FC4700-Series storage
systems. If any other type of CLARiiON storage system is connected to the
server, the server cannot run PowerPath.

PowerPath Configurations for Solaris
Read this section if you are installing a Solaris PowerPath
configuration with a new or existing server and a new or existing
storage system. A new and existing server and a new and existing
storage system are defined as follows:
new server - A server running Solaris and not connected to any
storage system.
existing server - A server running Solaris and that is already
connected to one or more storage systems.
new storage system - A CX300, CX500, or CX700 storage system that
has the factory default settings and has never been connected to a
server.
existing storage system - CX300, CX400, CX500, CX600, CX700,
FC4500, or FC4700-Series that is already connected to one or more
servers and is in a Navisphere domain.
All CLARiiON storage systems connected to the server must be CX300,
CX400, CX500, CX600, CX700, FC4500, FC4700-Series, or FC5300
storage systems. If any other type of CLARiiON storage system is connected
to the server, the server cannot run PowerPath.

System
Tasks highlighted with grey in the checklist should be performed
before the service provider arrives, except for the removal of ATF or
CDE, which you can have done by EMC Professional Services.
!
CAUTION
EMC no longer supports ATF or CDE. Before you transition your
server from ATF or CDE to PowerPath, you must
◆
Back up your server configurations.
◆
Back up data on all storage systems connected to the server.
◆
Remove ATF or CDE, which EMC recommends that EMC
Professional Services do, especially if your server configuration
is complex. If you want to remove it yourself, you must use the
procedure in the Removing ATF or CDE Software Before
Installing Other Failover Software document (P/N 069001173),
which is on the Powerlink website with this roadmap.
Simply removing ATF or CDE using the uninstall procedure in
the Solaris ATF administrator’s guide or the Solaris utilities
administrator’s guide may not return the server to it original

Solaris Installation Checklists
PowerPath Checklist — Existing Solaris Server and Existing
Storage System
This checklist assumes that the existing Solaris server and existing
storage system are already connected in a SAN or direct attach
configuration. Tasks highlighted with grey in the checklist should be
performed before the service provider arrives, except for the removal
of ATF or CDE, which you can have done by EMC Professional
Services.
!
CAUTION
EMC no longer supports ATF or CDE. Before you transition your
server from ATF or CDE to PowerPath, you must
◆
Back up your server configurations.
◆
Back up data on all storage systems connected to the server.
◆
Remove ATF or CDE, which EMC recommends that EMC
Professional Services do, especially if your server configuration
is complex. If you want to remove it yourself, you must use the
procedure in the Removing ATF or CDE Software Before
Installing Other Failover Software document (P/N 069001173),
which is on the Powerlink website with this roadmap.
Simply removing ATF or CDE using the uninstall procedure in
the Solaris ATF administrator’s guide or the Solaris utilities
administrator’s guide may not return the server to it original
state, and may result in lost data.
If you are transitioning a SunCluster or VERITAS Cluster Server
(VCS) configuration from ATF or CDE to PowerPath, perform the
procedure in the checklist on each node in succession. While you
perform the procedure on one node, you can leave the cluster services
active on the other node, provided failure in a path to the storage
system does not occur.

PowerPath Configurations for Windows
Read this section if you are installing a Windows Server 2003 or
Windows 2000 PowerPath configuration with a new or existing
server and a new or existing storage system.
A new and existing server and a new and existing storage system are
defined as follows:
new server - A server running Windows Server 2003 or Windows
2000 and not connected to any storage system.
existing server - A server running Windows Server 2003 or
Windows 2000 that is already connected to one or more storage
systems.
new storage system - A CX300, CX500, CX500i, or CX700 storage
system that has the factory default settings and that has never been
connected to a server.
existing storage system - A CX-Series, FC4500, or FC4700-Series
storage system that is already connected to one or more servers and is
in a Navisphere domain.
All CLARiiON storage systems connected to a Windows server must be
CX-Series or FC-Series storage systems that are supported for that server. If
any other type of CLARiiON storage system is connected to the server, the
server cannot run PowerPath.

Tasks highlighted with grey in the checklist should be performed
before the service provider arrives, except for the removal of ATF or
CDE, which you can have done by EMC Professional Services.
!
CAUTION
EMC no longer supports ATF or CDE. Before you transition your
server from ATF or CDE to PowerPath, you must
◆
Back up your server configurations.
◆
Back up data on all storage systems connected to the server.
◆
Remove ATF or CDE, which EMC recommends that EMC
Professional Services do, especially if your server configuration
is complex. If you want to remove it yourself, you must use the
procedure in the Removing ATF or CDE Software Before
Installing Other Failover Software document (P/N 069001173),
which is on the Powerlink website with this roadmap.
Simply removing ATF or CDE using the uninstall procedure in
the Windows ATF administrator’s guide or the Windows
utilities administrator’s guide may not return the server to its
original state, and may result in lost data.

PowerPath Checklist — Existing Windows Server and Existing
Storage System
This checklist assumes that the existing Windows server and existing
storage system are already connected in a Fibre Channel SAN, iSCSI
network, or direct attach configuration. Tasks highlighted with grey
in the checklist should be performed before the service provider
arrives, except for the removal of ATF or CDE, which you can have
done by EMC Professional Services.
!
CAUTION
EMC no longer supports ATF or CDE. Before you transition your
server from ATF or CDE to PowerPath, you must
◆
Back up your server configurations.
◆
Back up data on all storage systems connected to the server.
◆
Remove ATF or CDE, which EMC recommends that EMC
Professional Services do, especially if your server configuration
is complex. If you want to remove it yourself, you must use the
procedure in the Removing ATF or CDE Software Before
Installing Other Failover Software document (P/N 069001173),
which is on the Powerlink website with this roadmap.
Simply removing ATF or CDE using the uninstall procedure in
the Windows ATF administrator’s guide or the Windows
utilities administrator’s guide may not return the server to its
original state, and may result in lost data.
If you are transitioning a MicroSoft Cluster Server (MSCS)
configuration from ATF or CDE to PowerPath, perform the procedure
in the checklist on each node in succession. While you perform the
procedure on one node, you can leave the cluster services active on
the other node, provided failure in a path to the storage system does
not occur.

Using Windows DMP
7-64
When you use Windows 2000 DMP for CLARiiON, you need to take
into account the following behaviors for LUNs under DMP
management:
◆
After Windows 2000 reboots, one SP owns all the LUNs. If you
want the other SP to own any LUNs, you must manually transfer
ownership of (trespass) those LUNs to the other SP using the
Navisphere Manager or CLI.
◆
Windows DMP for CLARiiON does not support auto-restore for
LUNs. If a failure occurs in a path to an SP, Windows DMP
transfers ownership of LUNs to the other SP, but it does not
transfer ownership back to the original SP when the path is
repaired. The server does not lose access to the transferred LUNs.
If you want the original SP to access any LUNs for load balancing,
you must manually transfer ownership of those LUNs back to the
SP using the Navisphere Manager or CLI.
◆
If I/O is occurring between a server and a LUN, you cannot use
Navisphere to transfer ownership of the LUN from one SP to the
other SP.
◆
Adding more than 40 LUNs to a Storage Group may cause
Windows 2000 to crash.
◆
The Navisphere Host Agent does not register host information
with the storage system correctly.
