  • Page 16: Raid Manager Command Devices

    On the OS side, you should create a LUN 0 device of 35 megabytes (the smallest allowed). This will allow you to use host-based RAID management tools available from HP and will also allow HP support to do some additional diagnostics.

  • Page 17: Snmp Configuration

    SNMP configuration The XP family of disk arrays supports standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to remotely manage the disk array from the host. The SNMP agent on the remote console PC or Command View can provide status and Remote Service Information Message (R-SIM) reporting to the SNMP manager on the host for up to eight disk arrays.

    After these tasks are finished, you will use Command View or LUN Configuration Manager to complete the remaining tasks listed below. If you do not have Command View or LUN Configuration Manager, your HP service representative can perform these tasks for you.

  • Page 20: Setting The System Option Modes

    Setting the System Option Modes The HP service representative sets the System Option Mode(s) based on the operating system and software configuration of the host. Mode Level Description and Usage Mandatory Allows high-speed microprocessor FW update. Mandatory Provides unique UUIDs to the boot device, which allows the SRM console WWIDMGRquickset to discover multiple boot paths.

  • Page 21: Configuring The Fibre Channel Ports

    Configuring the Fibre Channel ports Configure the Fibre Channel ports on the disk array using Command View (shown) or the Fibre Parameter window in LUN Configuration Manager. Select the settings for each port based on your storage area network topology. Use switch zoning if you connect different types of hosts to the array through the same switch.
  • Page 22 Fabric and connection parameter settings Set each array port to FABRIC ON or OFF with connections of POINT-TO-POINT or FC-AL as shown in the following table and figures. For detailed topology information, refer to the HP StorageWorks SAN hp.com Design Reference Guide on the website.

  • Page 23: Setting The Host Mode For The Disk Array Ports

    Setting the Host Mode for the disk array ports The disk array ports have Host Modes that you must set depending on the host you use. After the disk array is installed, use Command View (shown) or LUN Configuration Manager to set the Host Mode for each port. The required Host Mode setting for Open VMS is 05.

  • Page 25: Clustering And Fabric Zoning

    Clustering software is an integral part of OpenVMS, however, it requires a license. Refer to the HP manual “Guidelines for OpenVMS Cluster Configurations” for complete instructions. Within the Storage Area Network (SAN), the clusters may be homogeneous (all the same operating system) or they may be heterogeneous (mixed operating systems).

  • Page 27: Configure Fc Switches

    Configure FC switches Open VMS supports Fibre Channel only in a switch topology. Refer to the switch documentation to set up the switch. The disk array may support a large number of LUs. Open VMS supports 32,768 LUs per port. Defining the paths Use Command View (shown) or LUN Configuration Manager to create paths (LUNs) between hosts and volumes in the disk array.
  • Page 28 The example LUN is presented to Open VMS as $1$dga601. The figure below shows an example of the Command View LUN Managment display that you use to perform LUN mapping. HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP Operating System Configuration Guide: OpenVMS...

  • Page 29: Connect The Disk Array

    Connect the disk array Connect the disk array to the host as follows: 1. The HP service representative verifies operational status of the disk array channel adapters, LDEVs, and paths. 2. The HP representative connects the Fibre Channel cables between the host and Fibre Channel switches.
