[. . . ] However this interface has the distance limitations: depending on the SCSI adapter used the SCSI cable length cannot exceed the sencibility limit (refer to Table 18 on page 73). The additional SNC hardware can be used in order to remove the distance limitations. Build the connections as it is shown on one of the the pictures below, configure the SNC, and the Scalar DLC PCs (working via the Fibre Channel HBA Initiator) can be placed as far from the library as it is required. NOTE: The SNC configuration instructions are described in the SNC User Manual. Figure 55 Cluster: SNC with the single-aisle, switch scheme 45 Scalar DLC Figure 56 Cluster: SNC with the single-aisle, two-port-scheme Figure 57 Cluster: SNC with the dual-aisle, switch scheme Figure 58 Cluster: SNC with the dual-aisle, two-port-scheme CAUTION: Wheh the Scalar DLC host PC is restarted the SNC must be restarted, too. Refer to SNC Issues on page 76. 46 6-00659-02 Scalar DLC Installing the Scalar DLC The Scalar DLC software must be installed on a PC running Windows 2000. After the software is installed, a remote user can connect to the Scalar DLC host. To install the Scalar DLC software and all required components, local administrator rights are required. NOTE: During the typical installation process, all required components are installed. System restart may be necessary after the installation of certain components. The system will warn the user that the restart is required, and the installation process will continue until all files have been installed. · · · Before installing the Scalar DLC perform the Solution Checkup on page 47. Using the Scalar DLC setup engine install the required Software Components on page 47. After this is finished, Install the Scalar DLC Software on page 51. Solution Checkup Make sure the appropriate solution is set up before installing the Scalar DLC. Refer to Setting Up the Basic Solution on page 7 or Setting Up the Cluster Solution on page 14. Software Components The following figure shows the components that are to be installed during the Scalar DLC setup process. The required components that are currently not installed are marked automatically for the installation. 47 Scalar DLC Figure 59 Scalar DLC Setup Components The following components must be installed and configured for the proper performance of the Scalar DLC software service: · · · · · · · Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 Microsoft Internet Explorer ver. 6. 0 or newer, optional Java 2 Runtime Environment (Java 2) 1. 4. 1_03 Apache Web Server ver. 1. 3. 27 Secure Socket layer (SSL), optional Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) MSDE 2000 Service Pack 3 Silent Mode When a customer selects silent mode, all information that is required to the installation of the selected software components must be entered before the actual installation process starts. Note that the complene installation of both the required components and Scalar DLC software will take some time. The installation engine performs automatic restart of the PC, automatic logon after restart, and continue the setup process until everything will be done. Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 The SP4 for Windows 2000 operating system must be used with the Scalar DLC software. This service pack can be used with all versions of Windows 2000 OS (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, etc. ). 6-00659-02 NOTE: 48 Scalar DLC Microsoft Internet Explorer The Scalar DLC software is compatible with the MS IE browser 6. 0 or newer version. After rebooting, the system continues to configure the installed Internet Explorer tools and services. NOTE: The installation of MS IE 6. 0 under Windows 2000 is recommended but not required. Java 2 Runtime Environment The Java2 component installs over an existing Java runtime environment without producing a warning message. By default, the Java2 is installed in the <%SystemDrive%>\Program Files\Java\j2re1. 4. 1_03\ directory. An advanced user can install the Java2 to any directory desired, but ADIC recommends against this action. NOTE: If the installation proceeds on a clean PC, the Java2 installation asks for a restart. ADIC recommends rebooting the PC. Apache Web Server ADIC does not recommend installing the Scalar DLC software on a machine with a previously installed copy of Apache Web Server. [. . . ] Connect to the cluster and make sure that cluster system operates properly. NOTE: If there is no need to change the node names, then the work is finished. Launch the Scalar DLC Management GUI and proceed the work. NOTE: The names of cluster domain, nodes, users, and passwords are shown just as an example. 93 Scalar DLC Change Cluster Node Names The Windows 2000 Advanced Server CD is required in order to change the name of the PC that is a Cluster node. Log on as a domain user with the local admin rights (for example, SDLCUSER). [. . . ]
