CA Enterprise Log Manager is currently supported using fixed hardware configurations provided by Dell, IBM, and HP. The following example assumes that the hardware consists of HP Blade Servers using a QLogic Fiber Channel card to connect to a storage area network (SAN) for data storage. The HP Blade Servers come with SATA hard drives configured in RAID-1 (mirrored) configuration.
If you use the kickstart boot file as is, be sure to disable the SAN drives before beginning the installation. Start the installation process with the OS5 DVD and complete the installation as documented.
Note: If you do not start the installation with the SAN drives disabled, CA Enterprise Log Manager is installed on the SAN. In this case, a red screen appears with the message, Illegal Opcode, after CA Enterprise Log Manager reboots.
Use the following sequence of procedures to install a CA Enterprise Log Manager appliance on a system with SAN drives, where you disable the SAN drives before installing the operating system.
When installing the operating system with disabled SAN drives, you work with the following files:
The configuration file for the Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM2).
The configuration file for Linux multipathing.
The file systems table file that maps devices to directories in a Linux system.
