DS CLI
The DS CLI CD-ROM contains the program code and documentation for the DS CLI. You can use the DS CLI to manage and perform both storage management and advanced copy services functions from the command line as well as manage and monitor basic copy services functions.
Program code
This CDROM contains the following installation files for the DS CLI for all supported host systems.

Notes: 1. For all host systems other than OpenVMS, you must remove any existing CLI (unless you plan to use an existing ESS 2105) from your host system before you install the new CLI code contained on this CD. 2. The DS CLI cannot be installed on a Windows 64-bit system. 3. For all host systems other than OpenVMS, you must have Java 1.4.1 or later installed on your machine. The installation program checks for this requirement during installation and does not install the DS CLI if you do not have Java 1.4.1 or later.
4. You must use the ksh (Korn shell) or bash (Bourne again shell) shell if you are installing on a HP Tru64. Installshield does not support the sh shell. You must perform all HP Tru64 installations using the setupgenericunix.sh file that is located on the installation compact disc.

4. For a SCSI CD device DKAnnn, enter the following command: MOUNT /NOASSIST /OVERRIDE=IDENTIFICATION /MEDIA_FORMAT=CDROM DKAnnn where nnn represents the number that is assigned by the OpenVMS system to your CDROM device.
Program code
This CD contains an installation wizard that allows you to install the IBM System Storage DS8000 Storage Manager on the Linux (Red Hat AS 2.1) host system. Note: It is strongly recommended that you do not interrupt the program during the installation process by using abnormal methods (such as CTRL-C, closing the launchpad window, which is open behind the installation windows, or shutting down the power source). An interruption other than through the application windows Cancel button can cause unpredictable effects in the system. You can install the DS8000 Storage Manager in one of the following modes: Graphical Allows you to use an online installation wizard that guides you through the installation process. Unattended (also called silent mode) Involves customizing a response file and issuing a command to complete the installation process.

Perform the following steps to install the DS Storage Manager in your Linux environment using the graphical mode: 1. Log on as a user with root authority. 2. Create a mount point or choose an existing mount point. 3. Determine where you want to mount the DS8000 Storage Manager CD. For example, if you mount the CD in drive /dev/cdrom at mount point /mnt/cdrom. 4. Insert the CD in the CD-ROM drive. Type the following command at the command prompt: # mount -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom 5. Choose the destination paths for the DS8000 Storage Manager components and be sure you have enough space available on the chosen destination. The installation program provides a default installation location (/opt/IBM/DS8000StorageManager) for the component. You can override this by using the installer browse function. When you click Next, the installer analyzes the available space for the location you provide. If there is not enough space, you are not able to proceed to the next panel in the installation process. 6. Change the current directory to the mount point for the CD-ROM drive. For example, if the CD was mounted at the /mnt/cdrom mount point, type the following command: # cd /mnt/cdrom . 7. Run the wizard launcher, launchpad_linux, by typing the following command: # ./launchpad_linux. The installation in graphical mode begins with a LaunchPad facility to launch the installation program wizard. 8. Follow the instructions on the wizard to complete the installation process.

IBM System Storage DS8000 series DS Open API support for Microsoft Virtual Disk Service
The VDS hardware provider supporting the IBM System Storage DS8000 series enables management of hardware RAID arrays in the Windows environment. Specifically, IBM System Storage DS8000 series customers are able to query vital health and status information at the subsystem, drive, and LUN levels, as well as perform LUN management operations on RAID arrays.
The DS8000 series leverage the Microsoft VDS framework to coordinate with VDS-aware applications like Microsoft Diskraid, Qlogic SANSurfer VDSManager, and SANSurfer Express to also create LUNs in the storage array, unmask LUNs to hosts, or delete LUNs.
Numbering convention
To comply with the industry standard, Multipath SDD uses the following numbering convention for the Version Release Maintenance Fix (VRMF) naming, which consists of a four position identifier (for example, 1.2.2.0):
Position 1 Position Identifier Major SDD version change Description v Increments with a major change to SDD architecture/design. v Resets Positions 2, 3, and 4 to 0. 2 New SDD functions v Increments when a new device type or operating system is supported. v Increments across all release levels of the platform. v Resets Position 3 and 4 to 0. 3 SDD Maintenance level changes v Indicates new operating system release levels with or without new functions (for example, Windows 2000, Windows 2003) v New function that is not related to a specific operating system (for example, Veritas, APIs, new maintenance). v Device firmware update (for example, San Volume Controller 1.1.0 update to SAN Volume Controller 1.1.1) v Resets Position 4 to 0. 4 SDD Fixes v Increments with changes from maintenance, test, PTFs, SEV 1 and 2 fixes. v Resets to 0 for each SDD release and forces Position 3 to increment. This does not apply to the Sun Solaris platform.
