Defining The Paths - HP StorageWorks XP10000 - Disk Array Configuration Manual

3. Verify that the system recognizes the disk array partitions by viewing the /proc/partitions
file.
Example
#cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks

In the above example, the "sd" devices represent the XP disk partitions and the "cciss" devices
represent the internal hard drive partitions on an HP Proliant system.

Defining the paths

Use XP Remote Web Console (shown) or XP Command View Advanced Edition Software to define
paths (LUNs) between hosts and volumes in the disk array.
This process is also called "LUN mapping." In XP Remote Web Console and XP Command View,
LUN mapping includes:
Configuring ports
Enabling LUN security on the ports
Creating host groups
Assigning Fibre Channel adapter WWNs to host groups
Mapping volumes (LDEVs) to host groups (by assigning LUNs)
