For EMC storage, the storage agent use the SYMAPI commands to interact with the EMC
Solution Enabler software to manage the EMC storage devices. You can use the SYMAPI commands (for
example, symcfg list) to determine the 12-digit serial number and the IP address
of the storage device.
To add the storage agents in the GDR
solution, complete the following steps in the KSYS LPAR:
- Add the storage agent (for example, name: Site1_storage1,
user name: abc, password: 123, serial number:
000196800508, IP address: 10.xx.yy.zz) to the active site by
running the following command:
ksysmgr add storage_agent Site1_storage1 login=abc password=123 site=Site1
serialnumber=000196800508 storagetype=emc ip=10.xx.yy.zz
- Add the storage agent (for example, name: Site2_storage1,
user name: abc, password: 123, serial number:
000196800573, IP address: 10.xx.yy.zz) to the backup site by
running the following command:
ksysmgr add storage_agent Site1_storage1 login=abc password=123 site=Site2
serialnumber=000196800573 storagetype=emc ip=10.xx.yy.zz
- Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for all storage arrays that you want to add
to the KSYS. For example, if a site contains two storage arrays, you must add two storage agents to
the KSYS.
- Optional: Verify the storage agents that you added by running the following command:
ksysmgr query storage_agent
An output that is similar to the following
example is
displayed:Name: Site2_storage1
Serialnumber: 196800573
Storagetype: EMC
Site: Site2
Ip: 10.xx.yy.zz
Login: abc
Name: Site1_storage1
Serialnumber: 196800508
Storagetype: EMC
Site: Site1
Ip: 10.xx.yy.zz
Login: abc
