Creating The Mount Directories; Configuring For Use With Veritas Volume Manager 4.X And Later - HP StorageWorks P9000 Configuration Manual

5. You may check and change the maxcontig parameter later with the fstyp and tunefs
commands as outlined in the following example:
# fstyp -v /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s0 | grep maxcontig
maxcontig 128
# tunefs -a 32 /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s0

Creating the mount directories

1. Create a mount directory for each device using the mkdir command.
2. Enter each device into the mount table by editing /etc/vfstab.
3. Use the mount -a command to auto-mount devices.
4. Use a df -k command to verify the devices auto-mounted.

Configuring for use with Veritas Volume Manager 4.x and later

HP P9000 disk arrays are certified for VxVM support.
Be sure to set the driver parameters correctly when you install the FCA. Failure to do so can result
in a loss of path failover in DMP. See
FCA manufacturer's instructions for setting specific FCA parameters.
VxVM 3.2 and later use ASL to configure the DMP feature and other parameters. The ASL is required
for all arrays. With VxVM 5.0 or later, the ASL is delivered with the Volume Manager and does
not need to be installed separately. With VxVM 4.x versions, you need to download and install
the ASL from the Symantec/Veritas support website (http://support.veritas.com):
1. Select Volume Manager for Unix/Linux as product and search the P9000 array model for
Solaris as the platform.
2. Read the TechFile that appears and follow the instructions to download and install the ASL.
After installing the ASL, verify that the P9000 array is visible and the ASL is present using the
vxdmpadm listctlr all and vxddladm listsupport all commands.
Example
# vxddladm listsupport all
grep HPlibvxxp256.so
libvxhpxp.so
libhpxp12k.so
