7. Disconnect FC cables from HBAs

10. An architecture decision concerning the access volume/UTM LUN (LUN
31 by default) for each host group on the storage system accessed by the
AIX host needs to be made. The mapping of the access volume on the
storage system or the removal of host software that conflicts with it are
discussed in the following issues.
Is there an IBM storage array connected in the architecture? If there is,
the access volume must not be mapped, thereby not visible to the
host. If it is visible, it will corrupt the access to the IBM array as well as
the StorageTek array.
If SMagent is not going to be used to do inband storage management
(i.e. will only use TCP/IP connection for storage management
operations), then the access volume must not be mapped, thereby not
visible to the host. If it is visible, it may corrupt the access to the
StorageTek array depending on the next bullet item.
Be aware that the access volume/UTM LUN cannot be used if the AIX
packages devices.fcp.disk.array.* are installed to support
IBM storage arrays. If these software packages are installed (by
default they are installed and may be reinstalled by software patches)
and the access volume is visible, it will corrupt access to the
StorageTek array. Check if the packages are installed by running the
