Configuring a new SAIL-Based System - Dorado x500

Prerequisites

To create a SAIL-based system, perform the following steps:

  1. Open the Operations Sentinel Console window, and then click the Administration navigation tab in the lower-left corner.

  2. From the Tools menu, select New SAIL-based System, Dorado x500 and then click New.

    The Dorado Server Configuration window appears.

    Notes:

    The Dorado x500 Server Configuration window contains the following three panes:

    • Tree View Pane

    • Configuration Pane

    • Data Pane

    By default, the Dorado x500 object configuration includes:

    • One Server

    • Two Operations Server

    • One Partition

    • Two Processor Memory Modules (PMMs)

    • Two I/O Storage Modules (ISMs)

    • Two Consoles

    Notes:

    • If you change the default values, then the hosts file will automatically be updated to match the new name.

    • If you select the Use DNS check box, entries will not be added to the hosts file.

  3. From the Tree View pane, select a partition.

    The relevant configuration information will be displayed in the data table present in the Data pane.

  4. To add a second partition to the system, click Add in the OS 2200 Partition area of the Configuration pane.

    Notes:

    • To delete a partition, select the partition in the Tree View pane and then click Delete in the OS 2200 Partition area of the Configuration pane. You cannot delete the primary partition that is provided by default in the configuration.

    • You can add a maximum of two partitions.

  5. To add an ePortalManager, select the desired partition in the Tree View Pane and then click Add in the ePortalManager area of the Configuration Pane.

    You can delete an ePortalManager by selecting the desired Managed object in the Tree View pane and then clicking Delete in the ePortalManager area of the Configuration pane.

    Note: You can have a maximum of two ePortalManagers per partition.

  6. To add a QProcessor, select the desired partition in the Tree View Pane and then click Add in the QProcessors area of the Configuration Pane.

    You can delete a QProcessor by selecting the desired Managed object in the Tree View pane and then clicking Delete in the QProcessors area of the Configuration pane.

    Note: You can have a maximum of four QProcessors per partition.

  7. To add an ISM, select the desired partition in the Tree View Pane and then click Add in the ISM area of the Configuration pane.

    You can delete an ISM by selecting the desired Managed object in the Tree View pane and then clicking Delete in the ISM area of the Configuration pane.

    Note: You must have a minimum of two ISMs per partition. You can have a maximum of four per partition.

  8. Click OK.

    Note: To view a topological view of the configured objects, click the Click to See Topology View link in the lower left corner.

  9. Once all of the names are set up correctly, click OK to close the Dorado x500 Topology View window.

  10. In the Dorado x500 Server Configuration window, click the OK button.

    By clicking OK, the data validation takes place followed by the addition of objects to the Operations Sentinel Console.

  11. From the Operations Sentinel Console, click File and then click Save All to save your changes to the Operations Sentinel database and update the hosts file and services file.

  12. From the Operations Sentinel Console, click the Operations navigation tab in the lower-left corner.

    The icons for each component appear. If the icons do not appear, expand OPSRVx and click All Objects to display the icons.

  13. The Operations Sentinel Console icons are displayed in the new window. If power is applied to all units and the names match the hosts file names, then all dotted red lines will turn solid green, with the exception of the OS 2200 Console – these require OS 2200 to be booted.

  14. Once the final configuration is complete and all of the names are set up correctly, skip step 14. If you need to change names or add additional components see Modifying an existing SAIL-Based System - Dorado x500.
