Console LUN ID and OS unit ID
TheHPCommandViewEVAsoftwaredisplaysafield for the Console LUN ID on the Initialized Storage
System Properties page.
It is very important that you set the Console LUN ID to a number other than zero. If the Console LUN ID is
not set or is set to zero, the OpenVMS host will not see the controller pair. After the Console LUN ID is set
for a controller pair, you do not have to concern yourself with it until another controller pair is introduced
in the SAN (see Table 2 for an example of how the Console LUN ID displays).
The HP Command View EVA software displays a field for the OS Unit ID. This field is required for
OpenVMS host machines.
This is an ID field that can be set on the virtual disk properties page. The default setting is 0, which
disables the ID field. To enable the ID field, you must specify a value bet ween 1 and 32767.
CAUTION:
It is possible to enter a duplicate Console LUN ID or OS Unit ID number. You must ensure that the
Console LUN ID and OS Unit ID number you enter does not duplicate one already in use. A duplicate
Console LUN ID or OS Unit I D number could allow the OpenVMS hosts to corrupt data through confusion
about LUN identity as well as have the host not see the contr ollers .
