Connecting The Disk Array; Defining The Paths - HP StorageWorks XP10000 - Disk Array Configuration Manual

Connecting the disk array

The HP service representative connects the disk array to the host by:
1. Verifying operational status of the disk array channel adapters, LDEVs, and paths.
2. Connecting the Fibre Channel cables between the disk array and the fabric switch or host.
3. Verifying the ready status of the disk array and peripherals.

Defining the paths

Use XP Remote Web Console (shown) or XP Command View Advanced Edition Software to define
paths (LUNs) between hosts and volumes in the disk array.
This process is also called "LUN mapping." In XP Remote Web Console and XP Command View,
LUN mapping includes:
Configuring ports
Enabling LUN security on the ports
Creating host groups
Assigning Fibre Channel adapter WWNs to host groups
Mapping volumes (LDEVs) to host groups (by assigning LUNs)
In XP Command View Advanced Edition Software, LUN mapping includes:
Configuring ports
Creating storage groups
Mapping volumes and WWN/host access permissions to the storage groups
For details see the HP StorageWorks XP LUN Manager User s Guide or the HP StorageWorks XP
Command View Advanced Edition Software Device Manager Web Client User s Guide. Note the
LUNs and their ports, WWNs, nicknames, and LDEVs for later use in verifying host and device
configuration.
