Verifying Vendor Storage; Importing New Physical Volumes Into The Hp Storeall Database - HP StoreAll Series Installation Manual

Verifying vendor storage

To verify vendor storage:
1. Run the Linux pvscan command on expansion blades to verify that the operating system can
see the factory-provisioned pre-formatted segments (physical volumes):
[root@ib121-121 ~]# pvscan
PV /dev/sdh
PV /dev/sdg
. . .
. . .
2. To verify the vendor storage from the HP StoreAll OS Software, run the following command
to list the VS storage modules:
root@ib121-121 ~]# ibrix_vs -l
NAME
-------------------------
9730_ch_09USE127C72Y_vs1
9730_ch_09USE127C72Y_vs2
The initial entry is the original 9730 system. The second entry is the new expansion module.
3. To verify the chassis registration, run the following command:
[root@ib121-121 ~]# ibrix_chassis -l
NAME
---------------------
9730_ch_09USE127C72Y

Importing new physical volumes into the HP StoreAll database

To import new physical volumes into the HP StoreAll database:
1. On the HP StoreAll Management Console, click Storage on the Navigator so that new, physical
volumes can be discovered by the HP StoreAll OS Software and make volumes available to
the cluster. The Storage panel lists the physical volumes included on the original HP StoreAll
9730 Storage system.
2. Click Discover, at the top of the Storage panel, to discover new physical volumes.
3. Use the default options that are preselected on the Discover Storage screen, and then click
OK.
The Storage panel lists the original physical volumes and the newly discovered physical
volumes.
