Fabric setup and zoning

To set up the fabric and zoning:
1.
Verify that the Fibre Channel cable is connected and firmly inserted at the array ports, host
ports, and SAN switch.
2.
Through the Telnet connection to the switch or Switch utilities, verify that the WWN of the
EVA ports and FCAs are present and online.
3.
Create a zone consisting of the WWNs of the EVA ports and FCAs, and then add the zone
to the active switch configuration.
4.
Enable and then save the new active switch configuration.
NOTE:
There are variations in the steps required to configure the switch between different
vendors. For more information, see the HP SAN Design Reference Guide, available for downloading

Configuring with Veritas Volume Manager

The Dynamic Multipathing (DMP) feature of Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) can be used for all
FCAs and all drivers. EVA disk arrays are certified for VxVM support. When you install FCAs,
ensure that the driver parameters are set correctly. Failure to do so can result in a loss of path
failover in DMP. For information about setting FCA parameters, see
Sun SAN driver stack" (page 89)
The DMP feature requires an Array Support Library (ASL) and an Array Policy Module (APM). The
ASL/APM enables Asymmetric Logical Unit Access (ALUA). LUNs are accessed through the primary
controller. After enablement, use the vxdisk list <device> command to determine the
primary and secondary paths. For VxVM 4.1 (MP1 or later), you must download the ASL/APM
from the Symantec/Veritas support site for installation on the host. This download and installation
is not required for VxVM 5.0 or later.
To download and install the ASL/APM from the Symantec/Veritas support website:
