Configuring An Hsz80 Array Controller - Compaq StorageWorks HSZ80 Configuration And Cli Reference Manual

Configuring an HSZ80 Array Controller

You can use this procedure to configure your controller in one of three configurations:
1) single controller, 2) dual controllers in transparent failover mode, or 3) dual
controllers in multiple-bus failover (host-assisted) mode. When you are done
configuring the controller, you can then add devices, plan storagesets, and configure
storagesets. These tasks can be performed either with SWCC or using CLI commands
from a PC or terminal.
See the following sections for your configuration type:
"Configuring a Single Controller," page 2–5
"Configuring Dual-Redundant Controllers in Transparent Failover Mode,"
page 2–10
"Configuring Dual-Redundant Controllers in Multiple-Bus Failover Mode,"
page 2–16
A Few Tips
As you configure the controller, keep these points in mind:
Cabling—You can either configure the controller with a maintenance port cable
and no SCSI host bus cables connected to the host, or you can configure with the
SCSI host bus cables connected:
SWCC—You can configure the controller using the SWCC graphical user
interface. See the Command Console for HSZ80 Solutions Getting Started Guide
for more details.
CLI Commands—You can configure the controller with CLI commands
using a terminal program.
NOTE: Eventually, you must connect the SCSI host bus cables between the
controllers and the host. You can connect the SCSI host bus cables after
configuring the controllers using a maintenance port cable.
EMU Alarm Control Switch—If the EMU alarm goes off, simply press it to stop
it. Check the error message to verify the type of error condition.
