Configuring Storage Adapters

The Configure Storage Adapters function in the HP Smart Setup EBSU utility requires that the

EFI driver for the storage adapter be installed prior to configuring storage adapters. You must

first select the Maintain Firmware function from the HP Smart Setup EBSU main menu to upgrade

the adapters, thus installing the EFI driver. You can then proceed to use the Configure Storage

function to set up your storage adapter.

Creating a partition using EBSU, or other partitioning tools, can result in the duplication of the

created partition in multiple LUNs. Typically, this happens when there are redundant paths to

the same storage device. For example, when you have two paths (A and B) to a storage device

then two blocks bound to the original LUN are created. If you create a partition in the original

LUN, it will be mirrored in the duplicated blocks.

For more details regarding configuring LUNs, see the HP StorageWorks: Booting Windows Server

2003 for Itanium-based systems from a storage area network application notes:

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00193929/c00193929.pdf.

To configure the boot LUN, see the "Configuring the HBAs" section in conjunction with the

"Cabling options for single-channel HBAs" section to create a zone/boot environment with only

one LUN mapped to the boot HBA.
