Verifying Host Recognition Of Disk Array Devices; Configuring Disk Devices - HP StorageWorks XP10000 - Disk Array Configuration Manual

Verifying host recognition of disk array devices

Use the hwmgr show scsi command at the UNIX prompt to see the list of new disk array devices.
The device files are created automatically in Tru64 UNIX during system startup. Device files are created
for each logical unit.
1. Verify the character-type device files have been automatically created:
Example — Tru64 5.1B
# file /dev/rdisk/dsk*
2.
Verify the block-type device files have been automatically created:
Example — Tru64 5.1B
# file /dev/disk/dsk*

Configuring disk devices

Configure disks in the disk array using the same procedure for configuring any new disk on the host.
This includes the following procedures:
1. Writing the partition labels
2. Creating the file systems
3. Creating mount directories
4. Mounting the file systems
5. Verifying the file systems
6. Setting and verifying automatic mounting at bootup
7. Checking path failover
Creating scripts to configure all devices at once may save you considerable time.
