Dell PowerStore Importing External Storage to PowerStore Guide
Upgrade the host plugin for import on a Linux-based host
Prerequisites
- Open-iscsi (iscsid) is installed and running.
NOTE:This process is optional in a fibre channel environment.
- GPG key has been installed.
- EqualLogic HIT Kit is running.
About this task
NOTE:The upgrade of the EQL HIT Kit host plugin for Linux is pertinent only for import of external storage from the Dell EqualLogic PS version that is listed in the
PowerStore
Simple Support Matrix document at
dell.com/powerstoredocs which lists the supported source systems and operating environments that are applicable to a Linux-based host.
To upgrade the EQL HIT Kit host plugin, do the following:
Steps
- Download the host plugin package, equallogic-host-tools-<latest version>.iso, to a temporary directory, such as /temp, from the Dell EqualLogic support site.
-
Run the mount command for the host plugin.
For example,
#mount equallogic-host-tools-<latest version>.iso /mnt
-
Change to the /mnt directory.
For example,
#cd /mnt
-
View the items in the ./mnt directory for install.
For example,
#ls EULA install LICENSES packages README support welcome-to-HIT.pdf
-
Install the host plugin.
#./install
NOTE:By default, the installation runs interactively. To run the installation in the background instead, see the latest version of the Dell EqualLogic Host Integration Tools for Linux Installation and User's Guide.
