Connecting The Disk Array; Restarting The Linux Server; Verifying New Device Recognition - 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.

Restarting the Linux server

To recognize the new device(s), restart the Linux server as follows:
1. Power on the display of the Linux server.
2. Power on all devices other than the Linux server.
3. Confirm ready status of all devices.
4. Power on the Linux server.

Verifying new device recognition

1. Verify that the FCA driver is installed using the lsmod command.
2. View the device information in the /proc/scsi/scsi file.
