Configuring Disk Array Devices; Initializing And Labeling The Devices; Mounting The Devices - HP StorageWorks P9000 Configuration Manual

2. Check the list of peripherals on the host to verify the host recognizes all disk array devices. If
any devices are missing:
If host mode option 33 is enabled, check the UUID values in the Remote Web Console
LUN mapping
If host mode option 33 is not enabled, check the CU:LDEV mapping
To ensure the created OpenVMS device number is correct, check the values do not conflict
with other device numbers or LUNs already created on the SAN
LUN/CU:LDEV and FCA WWN mappings on the host port
Run the $ mcr sys$etc:fibre_scan command and capture the output to scan for
the devices that OpenVMS discovers during a scan of the Fibre Channel storage devices.
3. Record the disk numbers and other device information. You will need the disk numbers when
you format, partition, and mount the disks.

Configuring disk array devices

Configure the disk array devices in the same way you would configure any new disk on the host
server. Creating scripts to configure all devices at once could save you considerable time.

Initializing and labeling the devices

Use the initialize command to format each disk array volume and write an identifying label
on it:
Example
$ init $1$dga100 testxp

Mounting the devices

Use the mount command to mount and identify each disk array volume:
Example
$ mount $1$dga100 testxp
