******************************************************************************* LSIDMICI.TXT ******************************************************************************* SDMS Solaris DMI 2.0 SDMS Component Instrumentation Release 2.10.00 The SDMS Solaris DMI 2.0 Component Instrumentation (CI) runs as service. It reports asset and configuration information for the adapters and devices controlled by the SDMS Solaris 7 SYMHISL device driver. This file contains the following information: o Introduction o Features o Hardware requirements o Software requirements o Installation instructions ************************************Introduction******************************** Solaris 7 x86 operating system is designed to run on single or multiple processors. It provides a command line interface environment and a graphical environment that incorporates many high level features. Refer to the Sun Microsystems Web site, www.sun.com/docs for Solaris 7 X86 documentation for further details. The SDMS Solaris DMI 2.0 SDMS Component Instrumentation (CI) is based on DMI (Distributed Management Interface) 2.0 standard defined by the Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF). It runs as a Solaris background process and reports asset and configuration information for the adapters and storage devices controlled by the SDMS Solaris 7 SYMHISL driver. The Management Information File (MIF) defines the information for the component which the CI is to report. The component information is divided into groups and each group is further divided into attributes. Any application can use the Application Interface of the DMI Service Layer to access this information. IMPORTANT: You must install the Solaris Patch #107710-03 or later before installing the Solaris DMI CI Service. **********************************Features************************************** * Initial Release for Solaris 7 x86 * Symbios2.MIF based on the DMTF: Mass Storage Standard Group Definitions and DMTF Master MIF.

They have transitioned from a SYM prefix to an LSI prefix. No name change has occurred for the SDMS Solaris 7 driver. o SCSI storage devices that meet SCSI-2 compliance or greater *****************************Software Requirements***************************** The component instrumentation software requirements are: o Solaris 7 x86 operating system or later o DMI 2.0 Service Provider installed with Solaris 7 x86 operating system o SDMS Solaris 7 SYMHISL driver version 4.05 or higher ****************Installation Instructions for Solaris DMI CI Service************ To install the Solaris DMI CI, follow these steps: 1. Log in as root user. 2. Copy the lsidmici.z file to the /tmp directory on your system by typing: cp /tmp/LSIdmici.Z NOTE: Due to the differences in various file systems, the above destination file (lsidmici.z) may appear in a different case. Since Solaris is case sensitive, the target file must be typed as displayed in the above command in order to proceed with the following steps. 3. Change to the /tmp directory and uncompress LSIdmici.Z by typing: cd /tmp uncompress LSIdmici.Z 4. Run package add to install the CI service by typing: pkgadd -d LSIdmici Follow the message prompt to install the package. 5. Change to the installed directory and run the setup file by typing: cd /opt/LSIdmici ./setup Setup moves the files to the correct system locations and starts the CI service. The setup script file only needs to run once. The CI Service will automatically run once the system is started. * * * * * * * * * * * Removing the Solaris DMI CI Service * * * * * * * * * * To remove the Solaris DMI CI service, follow these steps: 1. Log in as root user. 2. Stop the CI service and remove the files from the system locations by typing: cd /opt/LSIdmici ./remove 3. Run package remove to remove the CI service from the system by typing: pkgrm LSIdmici Follow the message prompt to remove the package.
