If you are unable to acc ess the virtual disk, do the following:

• Check the switch zoning database.

• Use HP Command View EVA to verify the host presentations.

• Verify all cabling to the switch, Enterprise Virtual Array, and host.

• Verify all ﬁrmware levels (check the associated Enterprise Virtual Array release notes for details).

• Ensure that you are running a supported version of the host operating system (see the operating

system release notes).

• Check the SRM console ﬁrmware on Alpha servers.

• Ensure that the correct host is selected for this virtual disk and that a unique OS Unit ID is used

in HP Command View EVA.

• Ensure that Tru64 UN IX is selected as the operating system for the virtual disk i n HP Command

View EV A.

• Check that the correct Tru64 FCA Device Driver (emx ) is installed on the operating system.

Conﬁguring virtual disks from the host

After you set up the virtual disks on the EVA3000/5000 and have rescanned or restarted the host, follow

the host-sp

eciﬁc conventions for conﬁg uring these new disk resourc es. For instructions on setting up disk

resources, see the documentation that came with your server.

The operating system treats an EVA virtual disk much like a SCSI disk. Use the following procedure to

prepare your virtual disk for access by the operating system ﬁle system:

1. Create a ﬁle system on the virtual disk.

2. Mount the ﬁ

le system (to gain access to the virtual disk).

Creating partitions on a virtual disk using disklabel

Create the partitions on a virtual disk by issuing the disklabel com m and, which partitions the virtual

disk for access by Tru64 UNIX.

NOTE:

For more information about the disklabel utility, see the disklabel man page.

To read and write a disk pack label and format disk partitions, issue the following command:

# disklabel disk

Where disk is the character device name found in / d ev/rdisk. For example, to create par titions on

device dsk464, issue the following commands:

# disklabel -z dsk464

# disklabel -rw dsk464

To view a virtual disk partition on dsk464, issue the following command:

# disklabel -r dsk464
