Compaq HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.4 Configuration and CLI Reference Guide
Configuring with the Command Console LUN
The Command Console LUN (CCL) is a type of LUN that allows you to
communicate with the controller from the host using StorageWorks Command
Console (SWCC) or CLI commands instead of using the maintenance port cable.
The most common tasks performed with the CCL include:
■ Configuring storage units
■ Preparing the subsystem for use
■ Checking a failed set
■ Checking performance with VTDPY
■ Troubleshooting with FMU
NOTE: Do not use the CCL with HSUTIL, FRUTIL, or DILX. The host and controller
must communicate through the maintenance port cable when using these utilities
and exercisers. Also, do not use the CCL to troubleshoot and maintain the
controller. Instead, run the utilities and exercisers with the local connection that
uses the maintenance port cable. See “Establishing a Local Connection to the
Controller,” page 5–33.
Enabling and Disabling the CCL
If you have not configured any units and have not yet enabled the CCL, you must first
establish a local connection through the maintenance port cable to provide a means of
enabling CCL. Once the CCL is enabled, you can communicate with the controller
over the host port connection instead of through the maintenance port connection. See
“Establishing a Local Connection to the Controller,” page 5–33.
If the CCL is not automatically enabled on your controller, use the following
command:
SET THIS_CONTROLLER COMMAND_CONSOLE_LUN
