G. Changing the Array Loop IDs

NOTE: Your array comes preset with the following default fibre channel loop identifiers (IDs): 108

(controller 1) and 110 (controller 2). If the default loop IDs conflict with the loop IDs of any other devices

in your configuration, you need to change the array loop IDs using the Virtual Front Panel (VFP). If they

do NOT conflict with other loop IDs, you do not need to change the array loop ID settings.

H. Installing the Array Software

Install the HP Command View SDM software and create a Logical Unit (LUN). (Refer to the HP Command View

User’s Guide, part no. T1001-90902).

1. Change the loop identifiers

(IDs) for each controller by

typing the following at the

Ready prompt (see Fig. 45),

where:

• <loop ID> is the new loop

address

• <controller ID> is 1 or 2.

2. The the new loop address will

be displayed.

3. Type “yes” to initiate a partial

reset. The initialization

sequence will be displayed.

4. When the Ready prompt is

displayed, disconnect the PC

and the RS-232 cable.

NOTE: To view the current loop

ID settings, type:

vfpdsp -s <controller ID>

Ready > vfpmgr -L <loop ID> -c <controller ID>

Loop ID will be changed to: <loop ID>

Change is valid after a reset. Do you wish to reset now (yes/no)? :yes
