3. Ensure that the host FCAs have been added by inspecting the Host folder in
the Navigation tree of Command View EVA.
Creating and Presenting Virtual Disks
This section describes how to create and present additional virtual disks to host
servers and verify that the hosts can access them.
1. Create a virtual disk family on the Enterprise Virtual Array using Command
View EVA.
2. Set values for the following:
■ Virtual Disk Name
■ Vraid level
■ Size
■ Present to Host (preferably to the host you just created)
3. If you chose a specific LUN on the Virtual Disk Properties page, you are
prompted to select a LUN number.
4. Rescan the bus.
Verifying Virtual Disks from the Host
This section describes how to verify that HP-UX hosts can access the virtual disks
created on the Enterprise Virtual Array with Command View EVA. The host can
recognize Enterprise Virtual Array devices either through a system restart or by
rescanning the bus.
Scanning the Bus
1. You scan the bus for the virtual disk and then display information about the
Enterprise Virtual Array devices. Start the rescan of the FCA with ioscan.
# ioscan -fnCdisk
All new virtual disks become visible to the host.
2. Assign device special files to the new virtual disks with insf.
# insf -e
Uppercase “E” reassigns device special files to all devices. Lowercase “e” only
assigns device special files to the new devices—in this case, the virtual disks.
