Connect The Disk Array; Restarting The Linux Server; Defining The Paths - HP XP1024 System Configuration Manual

Connect the disk array

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

Restarting the Linux server

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.
Defining the paths
Use Remote Web Console (shown), Command View, or Command View XP AE to define
paths (LUNs) between hosts and volumes in the disk array.
This process is also called "LUN mapping." In Remote Web Console and Command
View, LUN mapping includes:
• Configuring ports
• Enabling LUN security on the ports
• Creating host groups
• Assigning host bus adapter WWNs to host groups
• Mapping volumes to host groups (by assigning LUNs)
