Connect The Disk Array - HP StorageWorks XP48 Configuration Manual

Connect the disk array

Verifying disk array device recognition
Installation
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.
3. Create Fibre Channel zones connecting the host systems to the XP ports.
4. Use the SYSMAN program to configure each Open VMS system on the
SAN.
For a single system:
$run sys$system:sysman
sysman> io autoconfigure
For all the systems in an Open VMS cluster:
$run sys$system:sysman
sysman>set environment/cluster
sysman> io autoconfigure
5. Verify the ready status of the XP LUNs.
Verify that the host recognizes the disk array devices:
1. Log into the SYSTEM account, and enter the show device dg command:
$ show device dg
2. Check the list of peripherals on the host to verify the host recognizes all
disk array devices. If any devices are missing, check disk array path
configuration, check host HBA configuration, and check cables.
3. Record the disk numbers and other device information. You will need
the disk numbers when you format, partition, and mount the disks.
