7. Make sure that the access device you’ve been using for your subsystem still
exists. If you inadvertently deleted it, you must assign another device in its
place. If no access device exists, Client cannot communicate with your
subsystem unless the CCL is used.

virtual disk configuration.
UNIX-Based Configuration
On a UNIX-based host and after you create or delete a virtual disk using Client
(or the CLI), you must perform the following steps to properly configure the
UNIX file system to recognize your changes.
1. Reboot the host system—This action has the effect of forcing the file system
to recognize added virtual disks as raw disks, available for use. It also notes
that deleted virtual disks are no longer present.
2. (Optional) Create file system partitions on your disks—When you create a
virtual disk in the controller, you have the option to partition it at the
controller level in any way you wish. Each of the controller-level partitions
you create becomes a virtual disk, visible to the host.
3. Afterward, if you desire, you can partition these newly added virtual disks at
UNIX’s file system level. Use the appropriate commands for your operating
system version to perform this task. Once you have partitioned your drives in
UNIX, the file system assigns each drive a unique drive identifier.
4. Format your disks—You must format each newly added disk to make it fully
usable as a UNIX-compatible disk. Use your UNIX format command to set
the type and label on each newly added virtual disk.
