IBM Storage Configuration Manager: Planning, Installation, and Configuration Guide
Chapter 1. Introduction
IBM Storage Configuration Manager is a system management application that enables you to use a Web browser to manage and configure IBM BladeCenter devices. Managed devices include the following: v IBM BladeCenter SAS Switch v IBM BladeCenter S 6-Disk Storage Module v SAS Expansion Card for IBM BladeCenter v SS SATA RAID Kit (Integrated RAID Controller) v IBM BladeCenter S SAS RAID Controller Module Note: Except where specifically stated otherwise in this document, the term SAS Switch refers to the Serial Attached SCSI Connectivity Module for IBM BladeCenter products in a BladeCenter unit. IBM Storage Configuration Manager uses Web-based standards. It can be installed to be accessed from a standalone Web browser, or from a Web browser launched from IBM Director 5.20.3 or later to manage Director Storage Managed Objects. IBM Storage Configuration Manager runs as a Web server that communicates with the managed device. You can connect to IBM Storage Configuration Manager from any host on the network using one of the following Web browsers: v Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x or 7.x v Mozilla Firefox 2.x (release 3.0 is not supported) Important: Do not install any other applications that run a Web server on the same machine with IBM Storage Configuration Manager. Doing so can prevent IBM Storage Configuration Manager from running successfully with the default port settings (see TCP port access requirements on page 4). Note: If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0, you must configure the Internet Options (see Configuring Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 (Windows only) on page 17).
Chapter 2. Requirements
IBM Storage Configuration Manager components have specific requirements for hardware, firmware, and operating systems. This chapter describes those requirements.
Hardware requirements
This version of IBM Storage Configuration Manager supports the following hardware: v IBM BladeCenter S IBM BladeCenter SAS Connectivity Module v IBM BladeCenter S 6-Disk Storage Module v SAS Expansion Card for IBM BladeCenter v SS SATA RAID Kit (Integrated RAID Controller) on the following families of xSeries servers: 3250, 3250 M2, 3200, and 3200 M2 v IBM BladeCenter S SAS RAID Controller Module Table 1 lists the hardware requirements for IBM Storage Configuration Manager.

Restriction: A single instance of IBM Storage Configuration Manager cannot support more than 4 chassis (see Chapter 3, Planning, on page 7).
Firmware requirements
Before installing IBM Storage Configuration Manager, you must ensure that your managed device is configured with the correct firmware version. For detailed instructions, refer to the installation and users guide for your managed device. Before installing IBM Storage Configuration Manager, you must use Update Express Lite (UXLite) and the Update System Pack Installer to update your Series X configuration to the latest system pack level. Updating to the latest system pack level ensures that all of the required drivers and firmware are installed at
compatible levels. You can download and install the appropriate system pack level from IBM using the Update System Pack Installer (USPI) from the following site: http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/xpress.html For more information, refer to the following sources: v README file for UpdateExpress System Pack Installer v UpdateXpress System Pack Installer Users Guide InfoCenter: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/toolsctr/v1r0/index.jsp PDF file: http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/xpress.html v UpdateXpress System Pack Advanced Customization (White paper): http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/xpress.html
Supported operating systems

IBM Storage Configuration Manager features can be installed (separately) on a variety of Windows and Linux systems. The following operating systems support IBM Storage Configuration Manager: v Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition Enterprise x64 Edition Standard Edition Standard x64 Edition Web Edition v Red Hat Enterprise Linux Version 4 AS for x86/AMD64/EM64T Version 4 ES for x86/AMD64/EM64T Version 5 AS for x86/AMD64/EM64T Version 5 ES for x86/AMD64/EM64T v SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 for x86/AMD64/EM64T Enterprise Server 10 for x86/AMD64/EM64T Important: All operating system service packs must be installed.
Software requirements
If you are installing IBM Storage Configuration Manager on a a HS21 or LS21 Blade server, you must install the Broadcom Ethernet Software on the Blade where IBM Storage Configuration Manager is being installed. (For more information, see Downloading the Broadcom Ethernet Software on page 24.)
TCP port access requirements

IBM Storage Configuration Manager processes require access to several TCP ports in the installation environment. If these ports are blocked by a firewall or used by another process, some IBM Storage Configuration Manager functions might not work.
v If the Linux OS does not have a default installed CIM service, the IBM CIM service uses the CIM default ports 5988 and 5989. v In all other cases, the IBM CIM service uses ports 15988 and 15989. Table 2 lists the TCP ports used by the various IBM Storage Configuration Manager processes. (The symbol indicates that either component can function as the initiator or the listener.)
Table 2. TCP ports used by IBM Storage Configuration Manager processes Process IBM Storage Configuration Manager Service Web browser IBM Storage Configuration Manager service CIM service TCP port Linux 32100 32101 5988 5989 15988 15989 6641 6643 18084 Windows 32100 32101 5989
IBM Storage Configuration Manager XML API port IBM Storage Configuration Manager firmware upload port SAS RAID Controller Module port
6641 6643 18084
Note: If the CIM service port is changed after IBM Storage Configuration Manager is installed and launched, you must do the following: 1. Delete the userview.xml and BLUserProfiles.xml files from the base/conf subdirectory of the IBM Storage Configuration Manager installation location (see IBM Storage Configuration Manager installation location on page 13). 2. Restart the IBM Storage Configuration Manager service (see Stopping and restarting the IBM Storage Configuration Manager service on page 35).
Chapter 2. Requirements
Chapter 3. Planning
Installing IBM Storage Configuration Manager involves installing IBM Director (optional) and the following two IBM Storage Configuration Manager features: v IBM Storage Configuration ManagerDirector Extension (optional) v IBM Storage Configuration ManagerFull Install (required) Restriction: The IBM Storage Configuration Manager Director Extension must be installed on the same server as IBM Director. v If you need only one instance of IBM Storage Configuration Manager to manage a limited number of devices, install that instance on the same server as IBM Director. v If you need to install multiple instances of IBM Storage Configuration Manager, install each instance on a separate system that is not the IBM Director system. Restriction: A single instance of IBM Storage Configuration Manager can support up to 4 chassis. v In order to manage devices in more than 4 chassis, you must install multiple instances of IBM Storage Configuration Manager. In this case, you must not install the IBM Storage Configuration Manager server on the same system where IBM Director and the IBM Storage Configuration Manager Director Extension are installed. Each instance of IBM Storage Configuration Manager Server must be installed on a separate system. v If you want to integrate multiple instances of IBM Storage Configuration Manager with an installation of IBM Director, some additional setup is needed after installation is complete (see Integrating multiple instances of IBM Storage Configuration Manager with a single instance of IBM Director on page 33). Restriction: Do not install multiple instances of IBM Director on a single machine. Restriction: Do not install multiple instances of IBM Storage Configuration Manager on a single machine.
Planning for IBM Storage Configuration Manager Director Extension (optional)

The optional IBM Storage Configuration Manager Director Extension enables you to launch IBM Storage Configuration Manager tasks from the IBM Director Console. The IBM Storage Configuration Manager Director Extension must be installed on both of the following systems (if they are not the same machine): v The system where the IBM Director Server is installed v The system where the IBM Director Console is installed If you have not installed IBM Director Server and Console, plan that installation first. Refer to the IBM Director Planning, Installation, and Configuration Guide available at the following IBM Director Web site: http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/director/resources
IBM Director 5.20 downloads are available at the following IBM Director Web site: http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/director/downloads.html 1.

On the Director download Offering menu, select: IBM Director for Windows and Linux on x86 Version 5.20 and click Continue. License information is displayed. 5. On the IBM Director Downloads menu, download the IBM Director 5.20.3 file you need for your specific installation. After you have downloaded and installed the IBM Director Server and Console (Version 5.20.3 or later) with the BladeCenter Management Extension on one or more machines, you can then install the IBM Storage Configuration Manager Director Extension on each of those machines. Note: If the IBM Director Server or Console is not installed when you start the IBM Storage Configuration Manager installer, a dialog offers you two choices: v Select Cancel and install IBM Director v Select Next and continue to install only IBM Storage Configuration Manager Restriction: Do not uninstall any IBM Director component if the IBM Storage Configuration Manager Director Extension is installed. For the correct installation procedure, see Uninstalling IBM Director on page 22.
Planning for IBM Server Storage Provisioning Tool (optional)

After IBM Storage Configuration Manager has been installed to configure storage devices you can optionally install IBM Director to monitor those devices and IBM Server Storage Provisioning Tool to perform additional tasks on the storage network of devices. IBM Server Storage Provisioning Tool is an extension of IBM Director. Use the IBM Server Storage Provisioning Tool to allocate or deallocate volumes on a supported remote storage network and to save and restore network-storage configurations. IBM Server Storage Provisioning Tool adds a set of dircli commands that you can use to allocate or deallocate volumes on a supported remote storage network. It also adds options to the BladeCenter Configuration Manager task that you can use to save a SAN configuration profile that can be applied to new Blade servers when they are added or replaced, effectively remapping the remote storage to the new Blade. IBM Server Storage Provisioning Tool and other optional Director Extensions are documented in the IBM Systems Software information center. Use these links to review the features of this optional Director Extension for IBM Server Storage Provisioning Tool to decide whether you want to install this optional extension with IBM Director after installing IBM Storage Configuration Manager. v Director 5.20: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/eserver/v1r2/topic/ diricinfo_5.20/fqm0_main.html v SSPT 5.20: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/eserver/v1r2/topic/ sspt_5.20/frw0_main.html
The optional IBM Server Storage Provisioning Tool Director Extension enables you to use IBM Director to perform additional tasks with the storage network. The IBM Server Storage Provisioning Tool Director Extension must be installed on both of the following systems (if they are not the same machine): v The system where the IBM Director Server is installed v The system where the IBM Director Console is installed If you have not installed IBM Director Server and Console, plan that installation first. Refer to the IBM Director Planning, Installation, and Configuration Guide, which is available at the following IBM Director Web site: http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/director/resources IBM Director 5.20 downloads for Extensions (including IBM Server Storage Provisioning Tool) are available at the following IBM Director Web site: http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/director/downloads.html 1.

Planning for IBM Storage Configuration Manager (required)

IBM Storage Configuration Manager can be installed on the same machine used for IBM Director and the IBM Storage Configuration Manager Director Extension, or on a separate machine. The planning sections below cover how to plan for the operating system requirements that must be met before installing IBM Storage Configuration Manager. At the end of some sections are the potential install errors that may appear in logs if these requirements are not met before attempting to install. The planning sections then document the install options and install types that can be selected during the install of IBM Storage Configuration Manager.
Chapter 3. Planning
Planning for Linux

Disable Linux slpd daemons that cannot register agents
IBM Storage Configuration Manager Agents cannot be installed on Linux systems running a slpd daemon that is not SLP compliant and does not register Agents. The solution is to first disable the slpd daemon on a Linux system before attempting to install IBM Storage Configuration Manager. The following example error message is displayed in the dirinst.log file if you do not first disable the slpd daemon and attempt to install with that slpd still running. If you see this error message, you must disable the slpd daemon and install again.
/var/log/dirinst.log: ######################################################### Start of IBM Director Core Services installation on Thu Sep 11 09:05:27 MST 2008 A non-functional OpenSLP SA service was detected. Director Agent will not function with this service. Please disable the slpd service and launch the install again. Aborting install... End of IBM Director Core Services installation on Thu Sep 11 09:05:29 MST 2008 #########################################################
Setting SE Linux to permissive mode during installation

IBM Director and IBM Storage Configuration Manager do not support install on a Linux system that is running SE Linux. In order to install on a machine with SE Linux, you must set SE Linux to permissive mode. To verify that SE Linux is loaded, check if there are files under /selinux by typing this command:
ls /selinux
The following command sets SE Linux to permissive mode:

/usr/sbin/setenforce Permissive
The following command prints 0 to verify that SE Linux is set to permissive mode:
cat /selinux/enforce; echo
Linux Xen kernel is not supported

IBM Storage Configuration Manager Agents cannot be installed on a system running with the Linux Xen kernel. The only installation type that is supported on Linux Xen kernels is the IBM Storage Configuration Manager Director Extension on a system that already has installed the IBM Director Server or Console. Do not install IBM Storage Configuration Manager Agents or Full Install on a system with the Linux Xen kernel. Use the following Linux commands to check for the presence of the Linux Xen kernel before you attempt to install. Example: If the Linux kernel version has the suffix xen then it is a Linux Xen kernel.
cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.18-92.el5xen ...
10
Example: If files exist in the following Linux directories, then the system is a Linux Xen kernel.
ls /proc/sys/xen ls /sys/hypervisor
If you attempt to install IBM Storage Configuration Manager Agents on a Linux Xen kernel, then the installation will fail after attempting to install Agents and roll back to uninstall any files installed during this launch of the installer. The following error message will exist in the dirinst.log file to indicate the installation has failed to install LSI CIM Providers on a Linux Xen kernel.
/var/log/dirinst.log: Xen kernel detected. Not installing LSI rpms.
If you attempt to install and the dirinst.log contains the above error message, the installation has been aborted and rolled back. You must select a different system without a Linux Xen kernel to install IBM Storage Configuration Manager.
Linux server DNS configuration

Before installing IBM Storage Configuration Manager on a Linux system, you must confirm that the DNS can resolve the IP address for localhost and the local hostname, such as myhostname.xyz.com. Doing so ensures that IBM Director Core Services can run properly and that a browser can connect to the system using either the address of localhost or the hostname output by hostname -f. If the DNS is not properly configured on the Linux system, a browser attempting to connect using a URL containing localhost or hostname generates errors in the browser and fails to connect. The examples below show error messages that can be displayed when you attempt to connect a browser to a Linux machine that does not have DNS properly configured and the Linux machine is running the installed IBM Storage Configuration Manager. In a browser running on Windows:
________________________________________________________ Error 404: Servlet [_ibmjsp.scmrbce.faces.page.rbce.domain._ViewAllBladeCenter]: Could not find required servlet - _ibmjsp.scmrbce.faces.page.rbce.domain._ViewAllBladeCenter Error 404: Servlet [_ibmjsp.scmrbce.faces.page.rbce.storage._Storage]: Could not find required servlet - _ibmjsp.scmrbce.faces.page.rbce.storage._Storage ________________________________________________________
In a browser running on Linux:

________________________________________________________ Server Page Not Found ________________________________________________________
To ensure that the DNS can resolve the IP address for localhost and the local hostname, confirm that the file /etc/hosts includes lines similar to the following:
9.100.200.253 myhostname.xyz.com myhost 9.182.193.253 rssm-7.in.ibm.com rssm-7 127.0.0.1 localhost
You can confirm the Linux system has properly configured DNS by testing the following ping commands (note the use of tick marksthis will be executed as a command):
Chapter 3. Planning
11
ping localhost ping `hostname -f`
You can also confirm that the configuration of localhost address 127.0.0.1 in the file /etc/hosts has not been changed or modified. Examples include: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2:
/etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 myhostname localhost.localdomain localhost
SUSE Linux Enterprise System 9.3

/etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost
Note: After modifying the DNS configuration, you must restart the service network for the changes to take effect.
Planning for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5

If Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 was installed without selecting Full Install Mode, then some of the Linux libraries required for installing (or uninstalling) in Wizard mode are not present on the system. Attempting to install (or uninstall) IBM Storage Configuration Manager in Wizard mode generates the following error message: The installer is unable to run in graphical mode. Try running the installer with the -console or -silent flag. To correct this problem and plan for the use of the Wizard mode installer on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, you must first insure that the following Linux libraries (or symlinks to libraries) are installed on the system:
/usr/lib/libXp.so.6 -> /usr/lib/libXp.so.6.2.0 libXp.so.6.2.0
/usr/lib/libXmu.so.6 -> libXmu.so.6.2.0 /usr/lib/libXmu.so.6.2.0
To test whether the RPMs that include these libraries have been installed, use the following commands:
rpm -qa | grep libXp rpm -qa | grep libXmu
If these RPMs have not been installed, you can obtain them from the second CD of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 distribution. Install the missing RPMs as follows:
rpm -i libXmu-1.0.2-5.i386.rpm rpm -i libXp-1.0.0-8.i386.rpm
Example using yum to install libXmu and libXp on Linux:

yum install libXmu yum install libXp
If these RPMs do not install the required symlinks, then type the following Linux commands:
cd /usr/lib ln -s libXp.so.6.2.0 libXp.so.6 ln -s libXmu.so.6.2.0 libXmu.so.6
12
After you confirm that the required RPMs, libraries, and synlinks are installed on the system, you can proceed with Wizard mode installation (or uninstallation) of IBM Storage Configuration Manager. Note: Before starting the installer, you must disable the security enforcement settings in /etc/sysconfig/selinux. Set selinux=disabled and then reboot the host (see Setting SE Linux to permissive mode during installation on page 10). Note: Before starting the installer, you must confirm that this Linux OS is not an Xen kernel (see Linux Xen kernel is not supported on page 10). On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, plan to first install the required libstdc++ RPM before you install IBM Storage Configuration Manager or IBM Director Core Services. This libstdc++ RPM is required by both IBM Storage Configuration Manager and IBM Director Core Services, so you must install it first if it is missing: Example to check if libstdc++ is already installed:
rpm -qa | grep libstdc
Example to install libstdc++ on SLES9.2:

rpm -Uvh libstdc++-3.3.3-43.41*.rpm
Example to install libstdc++ on RHEL5.2:

rpm Uvh compat-libstdc++-33*.-323-61.i386.rpm
Example using yum to install libstdc++ on Linux:

yum install compat-libstdc++-33
Important: If libstdc++ is missing on your Linux platform, you will see the following unrecoverable errors in dirinst.log when installing IBM Storage Configuration Manager or IBM Director Core Services. These unrecoverable errors result in IBM Storage Configuration Manager not being able to manage your IRC devices:
Attempting to install storelibir-2.31-0.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libstdc++.so.5 is needed by storelibir-2.31-0.i386 libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2) is needed by storelibir-2.31-0.i386 libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2) is needed by storelibir-2.31-0.i386
These unrecoverable errors can be avoided by ensuring that you have the required dependency RPM compat-libstdc++-33 installed before attempting to install (or uninstall) IBM Storage Configuration Manager.
IBM Storage Configuration Manager installation location

IBM Storage Configuration Manager can be installed in any location that you specify. During the installation process, you are prompted to select the drive and directory where IBM Storage Configuration Manager will be installed. If you do not specify a different value, the default location for your operating system is used (see Table 3).
Table 3. Default installation location for IBM Storage Configuration Manager Operating system Windows (32-bit) Default installation directory C:\Program Files\IBM\SCM
Chapter 3. Planning
13
Table 3. Default installation location for IBM Storage Configuration Manager (continued) Operating system Windows (64-bit) Linux Default installation directory C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\SCM /opt/ibm/scm
IBM Storage Configuration Manager installation options

During the installation of IBM Storage Configuration Manager, you are prompted to specify values for several installation options. If you do not specify a value, the default for that option is used (see Table 4).
Table 4. Default values for IBM Storage Configuration Manager installation options Option IBM Storage Configuration Manager TCP port IBM Storage Configuration Manager TCP port secure Launch Web browser on install machine immediately after installation Create shortcut to launch Web browser on install machine Default value 32100 32101 Off On
IBM Storage Configuration Manager installation types

After the IBM Storage Configuration Manager installer has presented the IBM Storage Configuration Manager License and allowed you to accept or change default settings that are required for all installations, the installer then displays a menu of Install Types that are used to select the IBM Storage Configuration Manager features that will be installed. The IBM Storage Configuration Manager Install Types are presented in Wizard mode as follows:
Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: O O O O SCM Agents Only Install (Local CIM Providers) The program will be installed with SCM Agents Only (Local CIM providers) for all devices. SCM Agents Only Install (Local and Proxy CIM Providers) The program will be installed with SCM Agents Only (Local and Proxy CIM providers) for all devices. SCM Director Extension Only Install The program will be installed with SCM Director Extension Only. (Select only if IBM Director is already installed.) SCM Full Install for all devices The program will be installed with SCM for all devices.
After you select one of the above Install Types, a Summary Page is displayed that shows all of the IBM Storage Configuration Manager features that will be installed as a result of selecting that Install Type. An example of the Summary Page that is displayed when you select SCM Full Install is shown below:
14
Please read the summary information below: IBM Storage Configuration Manager will be installed in the following location: /opt/ibm/scm with the following features: SCM Managers (Web-based managers for SCM devices) Manager for Integrated RAID Controller (IRC) Manager for SAS Connectivity Module Manager for SAS RAID Controller Module (BC-S) SCM Agents (SMI-S CIM providers for SCM devices) Agent for Integrated RAID Controller (IRC) Agent for SAS RAID Controller Module (BC-S) for a total size: 308.6 MB Back Install Cancel
Planning considerations when selecting the appropriate Install Type

SCM Agents Only Install (Local CIM Providers) Select this Install Type to install only the IBM Storage Configuration Manager Agents that are Local CIM Providers to manage devices local to that system that you are installing on. The Local CIM Providers in IBM Storage Configuration Manager 1.20.0 include the IRC Agent. Additional Local CIM Providers will be added in future releases. SCM Agents Only Install (Local and Proxy CIM Providers) Select this Install Type to install only the IBM Storage Configuration Manager Agents that are both Local and Proxy CIM Providers to manage devices local or remote to that system that you are installing on. The Local CIM Providers in IBM Storage Configuration Manager 1.20.0 include the IRC Agent, the Proxy CIM Providers include the BC-S SAS RAID Agent, both of which will appear on the Summary Page to be installed. Additional Local and Proxy CIM Providers will be added in future releases. This Install Type is intended only for users who want to use IBM Director Server only to manage discovered IBM BladeCenter S SAS RAID Controller Modules. Use this Install Type to install a remote Proxy CIM Provider Agent to be used to monitor up to 5 remote IBM BladeCenter S SAS RAID Controller Modules. This Install Type is not intended for the user that wants to use IBM Storage Configuration Manager to manage IBM BladeCenter S SAS RAID Controller Modules. You must select SCM Full Install rather than this Install Type, because the IBM Storage Configuration Manager feature to download firmware requires both the IBM Storage Configuration Manager and IBM BladeCenter S SAS RAID Agent to be on the same machine. SCM Director Extension Only Install Select this Install Type to install only the IBM Storage Configuration Manager Director Extension on every machine with an installed IBM Director Server or Console that you intend to use IBM Director to launch a IBM Storage Configuration Manager to perform tasks on a discovered device. Select this Install Type when you do not want to install the Managers and Agents on the same machine as your IBM Director Server or Console. Otherwise select SCM Full Install if you want to install both the IBM Storage Configuration Manager Director Extension and the Managers and Agents on the same machine as the IBM Director Server or Console.
Chapter 3. Planning
15
SCM Full Install for all devices Select this Install Type on at least one server machine to install all SCM Managers and Agents for all devices. You will connect a browser to this machine and login to IBM Storage Configuration Manager to manage your devices. You will need to install this Install Type on an additional machine to install an additional Manager for each set of 5 RAID devices to be managed.
IBM Storage Configuration Manager Update Install

IBM Storage Configuration Manager install uses the InstallShield Multi-Platform installer (ISMP). When any of the above Install Types are selected, InstallShield performs one of these three basic operations: First Time Install Install this IBM Storage Configuration Manager latest version for the first time. Update Install Install this IBM Storage Configuration Manager latest version to update a previous older version that is on the machine.
