Use this article in conjunction with the EMC Documentation available on PowerLink; I refer directly to EMC documentation in part, where I describe the installation process. This article s aimed at the Upgrade of EMC CONTROLCENTER 6.0 to 6.1 UB7 but includes the steps required to build the initial cluster etc. For existing EMC CONTROLCENTER 6.0 clustered installations, start from Section 2.9 to prepare the upgrade. 2 Installation Pre-Requisites 2.1 EMC CONTROLCENTER Server Infrastructure Build This article is based on a six server (two clustered) ControlCenter Infrastructure, but also applies to any number of hosts depending upon requirements. In this example, I have chosen the following server hardware. This procedure works equally well on HP Blade Servers too. • The EMC ControlCenter Server hardware will comprise 3 x HPDL380 Servers and 3 x HPDL360 Servers. • All servers that participate in EMC ControlCenter require the Windows 2003 Server. The HPDL380 Servers will require Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition for the purposes of clustering and to utilise the 8GB of Memory that they will be installed with. The HPDL360 Servers will be built using Windows 2003 Standard Edition. 2010 EMC Proven Professional Knowledge Sharing 4 • The ControlCenter Infrastructure will be installed as a 2 Node Cluster on HPDL380 Server hardware in a distributed configuration. The remaining HPDL380 Server will be used for Storage Scope and WLA (Work Load Analyser) reporting. The HPDL360 Servers will communicate with the EMC CONTROLCENTER Cluster to provide extra Console and Agent connectivity. • A reliable Windows Domain infrastructure and a Cluster Service Account that exists in the domain. • Three network connections in each clustered server (one for the Service LAN and two for Cluster Private LAN communication) with enough IP addresses to support all required resources: 1 x Server IP Address per node 2 x Cluster Private IP Addresses per Node 1 x Cluster IP Address 1 x Resource Group (Virtual Server) IP Address per Resource Group • Shared SAN storage that the clustered servers have access to and that are configured to EMC best practices. This will comprise a 1x 68GB LUN and a 500MB Lun for the Quorum disk. • Shared and Non shared 68GB LUNs will be assigned as follows: A) 1 x 68GB LUN assigned to the Cluster servers for Repository and the ControlCenter Server. This is will be assigned the drive letter R b) 1 x 68GB LUN assigned to the Storage Scope Repository on the third HPDL380 Server. This will be assigned the drive letter S C) 1x
