HP XP20000/XP24000 Configuration Manual page 93

NOTE: Ensure host group mode 7 is set for the XP array or SVS 200 ports where the host is
connected to enable automatic LUN recognition using this driver.
To configure the FCA:
Check with your HP representative to determine which non-Oracle branded FCAs are supported
by HP with the Oracle SAN driver Stack, and if a specific System Mode or Host Group Mode
setting is required for Oracle and non-Oracle branded FCAs.
For Solaris 8/9, install the latest Oracle StorEdge SAN software available from
www.oracle.com with associated patches. Use the Oracle supplied install_it script that is
provided with the software to automate installation.
For Solaris 10, use the Oracle update manager to install the latest patches.
To use Oracle StorEdge Traffic Manager (MPxIO)/Oracle Storage Multipathing, edit the driver
configuration file /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf to add the Vendor ID and Product ID
to the "device-type-scsi-options-list" parameter. See the Oracle StorEdge Traffic Manager
Software Installation and Configuration Guide or Solaris Fibre Channel and Storage
Multipathing Administration Guide, and HP StorageWorks MPxIO for Oracle Solaris
Application Notes, for further details.
For Solaris 8/9 change to "no" as shown:
mpxio-disable="no";
For all Solaris releases, add the following lines:
device-type-scsi-options-list =
"HP OPEN", "symmetric-option";
symmetric-option = 0x1000000;
NOTE: There must be exactly 6 spaces between HP and OPEN.
Instead of using the default round-robin algorithm, add the following lines in addition to the
previous lines for systems with a large amount of sequential I/O activity:
device-type-mpxio-options-list=
"device-type=HP
logical-block-options="load-balance=logical-block", "region-size=18";
NOTE: There must be exactly 6 spaces between HP and OPEN.

For Solaris 8/9, perform a reconfiguration reboot of the host to implement changes to the
configuration file. For Solaris 10, use the stmsboot command which will perform the
modifications and then initiate a reboot.
For Solaris 8/9, after you have rebooted and the LDEV has been defined as a LUN to the
host, use the cfgadm command to configure the controller instances for SAN connectivity.
The controller instance (c#) may differ between systems. Replace the WWPN in the following
example with the WWPNs for your array ports.
Example
# cfgadm -al
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
c3 fc-fabric connected configured unknown
c3::50060e8003285301 disk connected configured unknown
c4 fc-fabric connected configured unknown
c4::50060e8003285311 disk connected configured unknown
# cfgadm -c configure c3::50060e8003285301
# cfgadm -c configure c4::50060e8003285311
