IBM AIX Prerequisites

Before installing StorNext on an AIX machine, verify that the following installation prerequisite has 
been met. StorNext supports AIX 5.2 and 5.3 only.

• Mapping LUNs - Before installing StorNext, it is necessary to correctly map Logical Unit Numbers 

(LUNs) in the customer SAN. 

A LUN is assigned to each device (target) that is visible locally and over the SAN. The process 
of LUN mapping depends on many factors, including the operating system on which StorNext 
is running, the type of SCSI card installed on the machine, and the type of FC Host Bus 
Adaptor (HBA) installed on the machine. 

For each HBA, check the vendor documentation to determine the operating system files that 
must be configured to correctly map LUNs to devices over the SAN. 

For additional requirements, see 

 on page 11.

For assistance configuring the operating system files, contact the ADIC Technical Assistance 
Center (ATAC). Refer to 

SGI IRIX Prerequisites

Before installing StorNext on an IRIX machine, verify that the following installation prerequisites have 
been met.

• 64-bit Inodes - StorNext supports only 64-bit inodes for software installations on the IRIX operating 

system.

•  Mapping LUNs - Before installing StorNext, it is necessary to correctly map LUNs in the customer

A LUN is assigned to each device (target) that is visible locally and over the SAN. The process 
of LUN mapping depends on many factors, including the operating system on which StorNext 
is running, the type of SCSI card installed on the machine, and the type of FC HBA installed 
on the machine. 

For each HBA, check the vendor documentation to determine the operating system files that 
must be configured to correctly map LUNs to devices over the SAN. Configure the operating 
system file as indicated below:

•

Edit  the  /var/sysgen/master.d/qlfc file.
