table. Depending on the operating system, a host’s node WWN may not be
passed through multiple host adapters to the array. In this case, the array will
see the host’s multiple host adapter WWNs. In this situation, multiple host
adapter WWNs must be entered into the table to represent the host.
Example
Create the host port behavior table on a new array for an environment with
three hosts: one HP-UX (with two host adapters), one Windows (with two host
adapters), and one Linux (with one host adapter). If the controller host port
behavior is set to the default HP-UX behavior, entries for HP-UX host are not be
required in the table, but they are included in this example.
1 Log on as system administrator.
2 Obtain the World Wide Name for each host or host adapter.
3 Read the current host port behavior from array alias Array15 into file
HPBset.txt:
armhost -r -f HPBset.txt Array15
Because this is a new array, the existing file will be empty. On existing
arrays this step provides you with a starting point for editing the table
4 Using a text editor, edit file HPBset.txt. Add the necessary entries for
the three hosts. The table entries would look similar to this:
00a05032243f1106 Win2k << Windows host adapter 1
7d876a1243d090a3 Win2k << Windows host adapter 2
200a6b34b7894284 Linux << Linux host adapter
20a60088g132ca32 HPUX << HP-UX host adapter 1
20a4208c0132c06b HPUX << HP-UX host adapter 2
5 Save the file.
6 Download the updated file to the array:
armhost -w -f HPBset.txt Array15
The path for the file is not shown for this example, but must be included if
required.
