4) Installation of DS8000 Device Driver
This step is required if your AIX installation is attached via Fibre Channel (FC) / SAN
or SCSI to one or more DS8000 storage subsystems. This step is independent of step 5).
4.1) /work/cd_image> cd usr/sys/inst.images
4.2) /work/cd_image/usr/sys/inst.images> smitty install
4.3) Select AIX installp Filesets and apply/commit:

- devices.scsi.disk.ibm2105.32.6.100.24.I
5) Installation of DS8000 Command Line Client (cli)
This step is required if your AIX installation is attached via TCP/IP to one or more DS8000
storage subsystems. This step is independent of step 4).

The dscli command starts the command-line interface (CLI) program. Use
this command to run CLI commands in interactive mode, to run a single
command, or to run a set of commands from a script. For more information
about how to use this command, see "Completing DS CLI postinstallation."

Parameters
-help | -h | -?
Displays a help screen about how to use the DS CLI program.
-ver
Displays the DS command-line interface version.
-overview
Provides overview information about the DS CLI application.
-script file_name
Initiates the script mode so that multiple dscli program commands can
be issued consecutively using a saved file.
file_name
(Required) Specifies the file with the stored program
commands to be executed.
Format options that are specified using the framework setoutput
command apply to all commands in the file. Output from successful
commands routes to stdout, and output from failed commands routes to
stderr. If an error occurs during the processing of one of the
commands in the file, the script exits at the point of failure and
returns to the system prompt.
command
Specifies the single command that you want to run.
-cfg profile
Specifies a profile file. This parameter is not required if you are
using default profiles. The default profile is the dscli.profile, and
it is provided as part of the DS CLI package under the profile directory.
-hmc1 HMC1
Specifies the primary management console IP address or the host name.
HMC1 (Required) The IP address for the primary management console.
-hmc2 HMC2
Specifies the secondary management console IP address or the host name.
HMC2 (Required) The IP address for the secondary management console.
-user user_name
Specifies your user name for issuing DS CLI commands on the command-line.
user_name
(Required) Your user name.
-passwd password
Specifies the password that you use for issuing DS CLI commands on the command line.
password
(Required) Your password.
This parameter is not required or recommended. If you use this method
to designate your password, the password is displayed on the screen.
Another option is to specify a password file (see the next parameter)
that is used when you start the DS CLI application.
-pwfile passwordfile
Specifies the password file that contains your password.
passwordfile
Specifies a password file as an alternative to the -passwd parameter.
7) Update default configuration profile for DS8000 Command Line Client
7.1) /work/cd_image> vi /opt/ibm/dscli/profile/dscli.profile
In order to ease the usage of the dslci command pre-define variables in the dscli.profile
7.2) DS CLI Profile
- Management Console/Node IP Address(es)
hmc1: 9.155.xxx.xxx
- Default target Storage Image ID
devid: IBM.2107-75ABTV1
- Define User and password
username: admin
password: password
- Output settings
fullid: off
- Paging and Rows per page.
paging: off
- Display banner message. "banner" is equivalent to option "-bnr on|off".
