End Of Support around the corner (May 2021)
Hi,
Following sk134476, I’m trying to allocate a certified procedure for properly configuring the SAN card on Gaia OS…
After installing the supported SAN card on the Open Server – what procedure needs to be executed on Gaia so it will recognize the external storage as the GW’s partition?
Background story:
One of my customers wants to connect his Log Server (R80.30) to an external storage (Infinidat) using a dedicated SAN card installed (LPe 11002) on his Open Server.
So I’m looking for the relevant procedure that he should follow…
Does anyone has any practical experience with that?
Same as adding any Secondary Disk to a Gaia Machine.
Expert Mode
cat /proc/partitions
to determine the name of the raw partition.
parted /dev/cciss/c0d1 - replace the cciss/c0d1 with the relevant device name for the partition as shown in the previous output
to start the parted tool that used
mklabel gpt
creates the gpt label
unit TB
sets the system to be working with Terabytes as the Unit Size
mkpart primary 0.00TB 3.60TB - replace the 3.60TB with the actual size of the partition.
quit
to return back to Gaia Expert prompt
mkfs -t ext3 /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 - formats the new parition created, replace the ext3 with the format wanted and the cciss/c0d1p1 with the device name
mkdir /cplos - creates the mount point for the new partition replace cplogs with the directory name want to use
mount -t ext3 /dev/cciss/c0dp1 /cplog - mounts the filesystem replace ext3 with the format wanted and the cciss/c0d1p1 with the device name and the /cplog with the mount point created
Add the following line to /etc/fstab
/dev/cciss/c0d1p1 /cplogs ext3 defaults 1 2
obviously need to replace the parts with your actual settings
Reboot the box and confirm that can access your mount point directory afterwards
do a df -kh and confirm see your mount point etc
After that follow the standard procedure to redirect the logs to the new area.
This was taken from what we did for a HP DL380 Server with built in RAID Card but the principal will be the same just need to identify how Gaia identifies the SAN Card
Thanks for the quick answer!
Do you know if there are any special configuration needs to be done if I want to use "SAN Multipath" functionality?
Effectively that would be handled by the SAN Card. So don't see why there would be anything involved there from a Gaia perspective.
Gaia just see's the disk/partition etc presented to it as a Disk. If the SAN Card has multiple paths after that then should be transparent to the Gaia OS.
