Notes

Note the following issues when connecting the ETERNUS DX to a server.

3.1 Connection Notes for PRIMERGY

•To ensure reliable access to the storage systems, the following methods are recommended:

-Connection via multiple paths

-Use of multipath drivers which support path redundancy control

Configure a multipath environment and select a multipath driver that supports path redundancy control

to increase redundancy and reliability of the connection between the ETERNUS DX storage systems and

the server.

•LUN recognition by the Windows® plug and play function cannot be guaranteed.

•The following cluster configuration is supported for Windows®:

-WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster) configuration

-MSCS (Microsoft Cluster Service) configuration

For details on servers which support cluster configuration, consult your FUJITSU sales representative.

3.2 Connection Notes for Other Companies' Industry Standard

Servers

•To build a cluster configuration for Windows®, use Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS), Windows Server Fail-

over Cluster (WSFC), and MSCS- and WSFC-compatible applications. This cluster configuration must also use

only one type of SAS card. Operation cannot be guaranteed if the cluster is configured using multiple types

of SAS cards.

•LUN recognition by the Windows® plug and play function cannot be guaranteed.

•To ensure reliable access to the storage systems, the following methods are recommended:

-Connection via multiple paths

-Use of drivers for ETERNUS DX storage systems which support path redundancy control

Configure a multipath environment and select a driver for ETERNUS DX storage systems that supports

path redundancy control to increase redundancy and reliability of the connection between the ETERNUS

DX storage systems and the server.

3.3 SAS Card Driver Notes

•When the same type of chip is used for both the SAS card and the server's onboard RAID or RAID card, the

driver installed for the SAS card may also control the onboard RAID or RAID card.

Contact the server vendor for details of how each onboard RAID or RAID card is affected by the SAS card

driver.

•The ETERNUS Multipath Driver supports path redundancy control (path fail-over).

For product information, refer to the following URL:

http://www.fujitsu.com/global/products/computing/storage/software/eternus-mpd/

3.4 Notes about Driver for ETERNUS DX Storage Systems

When connecting the server to the ETERNUS DX with multipath configuration, using the path redundancy

control (path fail-over) function with a driver for ETERNUS DX storage systems, one of the following drivers is

required by the server:

OS Driver

Windows Server® 2019

Windows Server® 2016

Windows Server® 2012 R2

Windows Server® 2012

Windows Server® 2008 R2

Windows Server® 2008

ETERNUS Multipath Driver

For product information, refer to the following URL:

http://www.fujitsu.com/global/products/computing/storage/software/eternus-mpd/

Even when single-path connection is used between the ETERNUS DX and server, an ETERNUS DX compatible

driver (ETERNUS device driver) is not required.

3.5 MSCS and WSFC Notes

•To use MSCS or WSFC configuration, install either the driver for ETERNUS DX storage systems or the stand-

ard multipath driver (msdsm) for Windows Server® 2019, Windows Server® 2016, Windows Server® 2012 R2,

Windows Server® 2012, Windows Server® 2008 R2 or Windows Server® 2008 on each node (server), and

then check the connections before MSCS or WSFC installation.

•Check the registry values by following the instructions in "Chapter 8 Checking the Registry Information"

(page 25), after installing MSCS or WSFC.

•When setting up the MSCS, a reset group must be set for the ETERNUS DX. A reset group does not need to

be set for WSFC.
