HP 3PAR T-Class Installation and Deinstallation Guide

NOTE: For more information about the commands used in this section, see the HP 3PAR InForm
OS Command Line Interface Reference.
To set the personas for ports connecting to host computers:
1. From the service processor CLI session, verify connection to a host before defining a host:
192.168.46.249 cli% showhost
2. Define a new system host as follows:
192.168.46.249 cli%
createhost -persona <hostpersonaval> <hostname> <WWN>...
where <hostpersonaval> is the host persona ID number and <hostname> is the name
of the test host and <WWN>is the WWN of an HBA in the host machine. The HBA must be
physically connected to the storage system.
3. After defining a system host for each physically connected WWN, verify host configuration
information for the storage system:
192.168.46.249 cli%
showhost
4. Use the controlport command to set each target port:
192.168.46.249 cli%
controlport config <connmode> [-ct loop | point] <node:slot:port>
where <connmode> is the name of the disk, host, or rcfc. The -ct subcommand sets the
connection type and is optional: Use loop for the disk; loop or point for the host; point
for rcfc. The <node:slot:port> specifies the controller node, PCI slot, and PCI adapter
port to be controlled.
5. When finished setting each connected target port, verify all ports are set correctly.
192.168.46.249 cli%
showport -par
Creating and Exporting Test Volumes
NOTE: For more information about the commands used in this section, see the HP 3PAR InForm
OS Command Line Interface Reference.
1. From the service processor CLI session, create a common provisioning group test to verify the
system can create and export virtual volumes.
192.168.46.249 cli% createcpg test_cpg
2. Create a virtual volume.
192.168.46.249 cli% createvv test_cpg test_vv 10G
