Operational Details

This is an internal check from the Integration core service to ensure that the Managed node is

accessible and configured in the Application Integration Software. If the Managed Node is not

accessible, a potential problem can be that communication between OpenSSH from HP-SIM

server to Managed Node is broken. Check the OpenSSH installation and run the specified

communication checks (see “Installing OpenSSH” on page 32) to ensure communication from

HP Storage Essentials SRM and HP SIM to Managed Node.
Another potential issue can be that the Managed node is indicated as missing in HP Storage

Essentials SRM. This would happen if a Managed node was discovered, but for some reason HP

Storage Essentials SRM could not make contact to this node during the last hardware check

process. In this case, check that the credentials for the Managed node is correct in HP Storage

Essentials SRM and ensure that the CIM extensions service is running on the Managed Node.

8.

Un-mount/Export File system.
The Application Integration Software will now call the active host management module added to

HP SIM to perform the necessary operations on the Managed node to un-mount and export the

file systems associated with this SRID.
For this operation to succeed, the OpenSSH communication with the host must be functional.
For more details on execution errors, check the tasks log in HP SIM.
If some user or process is still accessing a file system, it is possible that the operation will fail. In

this case, ensure that application shutdown was performed correctly, and that all processes

using this file system is stopped.

9.

Un-present physical storage from the Host.
The Integration core uses the HP Storage Essentials SRM API to request a provisioning-action for

the specific storage array in order to remove the presentations for the specific physical storage

from the Managed Node.
Provisioning-errors can occur if the service processor (SVP) of the storage array is in a locked

status. It is important to minimize the use of the SVP for any storage changes, instead, it is

recommended to perform all storage changes using HP Storage Essentials SRM.
For more details on the failure, check the HP Storage Essentials SRM log files and the storage

array audit trails.

10.

Return success/failure.
If all operations are successful, the integration core will return success status to the integration

library and to the sapacosprep module. If any operation fails during the un-mount or un-present

operations, the Integration core will attempt to roll back any changes, leaving the managed

node in the same state that the operation started with, and return “failure” to the integration

library and to the sapacosprep module.

11.

Call platform specific library with “deactivate IP”.
SAP ACC resumes control of operations and calls the platform specific library, using

sapacosprep module, to deactivate the instance virtual IP address.
Any errors during this operation can be due to OpenSSH communication or errors in the

Platform specific library. Monitor the SAP ACC application log for any errors.
