Asked By TechWhiz123 On

Hi everyone! I'm working on setting up a Lenovo DE2000H storage system, which is basically a NetApp system based on their installation guides. I'm trying to get it configured for AIX MPIO. According to the documentation from NetApp, I need to download the AIX Host Utilities, but Lenovo's site doesn't mention AIX at all for their utilities download. Unfortunately, I can't download directly from NetApp due to authorization issues, and I'm currently stuck. If anyone here has access to the AIX Host Utilities from the provided link, could you share the .tar.gz file? I would really appreciate it, and sorry if I'm not supposed to post this kind of request!

Just a heads up, the host utilities are meant for ONTAP storage systems, and the DE-series arrays like yours work on a different system called Santricity. You might want to check out Lenovo's support site for software specific to their branded arrays. Also, I doubt AIX is supported on these boxes, so looking for AIX utilities might not be fruitful.

You're spot on about the compatibility. The DE2000H supports Windows, RHEL, and Suse, but no AIX. I took a look at my DE setup for confirmation. Just to let you know, the equivalent NetApp model for your DE2000H is the E2812. Their installation guide mentions that for AIX you need the E-Series multipath driver before connecting to the array, but it seems like there's no link to download it anywhere.
