EMC - Solaris - issue

[Sarath420]

hi gurus,

iam totally newbee to EMC, i have a cople of questions

i hvae a solaris machine with 192.168 network aand an EMC storage AX 4-5 with a 10.10. network. This EMC is configured through the GUI for the initialisation part that is for assigning the IP address to both controllers, assigning host and a default user to log into the GUI.

i have installed Naviseccli on my solaris machine to create storage groups and stuff .

what is the process for proceeding further

when i do a naviseccli -h 10.10.10.224 storagegroup -create -gname oradata

iam shooted with an error message "Broken Pipe"

iam not sure exactly is this the correct method as may be iam skipping in some steps prior to creation of the storage group.

Please let me know where am i going wrong

How is the host connecting to the AX?

You'll need network connectivity between the AX and the host so that NaviAgent can talk to the array and so that the array can talk to NaviAgent.

Thanks for your reply.

I connected the storage to the system with a switch.

I have changed the network for all to be into a same network

ie 192.168.5 , 6 and 7 respectively, (6 and 7 for the SPA and SPB)

now i am able to create the raid groups and storage groups and present hem to the system.

I have a new set of error message when am trying to create a raid group for hotspare

#naviseccli -h 192.168.13.6 createrg 5 0_0_11

Error: createrg command failed
For this storage system, the -raidtype switch must be specified

But iam trying to dedicate the disk 11 to hotspare....

do i need to change anything ...

please let me know

thanks in advance
