Gather the following information:
a. Determine the active Cambex FCAs on the IBM AIX host by issuing the
command:
/usr/lpp/cbxfc/cbxfcsm listadapt
The output should look similar to:
# Device Status
scsi2 Active
scsi3 Active
b. Determine the World Wide Names (WWNs) of the FCAs by issuing the
command:
show_wwid
The output should look similar to:
scsi2:500502E0100009FE
scsi3:500502E01000018B
2. Add the host from Command View EVA.
3. Ensure that the host FCAs have been added by inspecting the Host folder in
the Navigation tree of Command View EVA.
Note: For IBM AIX, the host type should be set to IBM AIX.
Creating and Presenting Virtual Disks
This section describes how to create and present additional virtual disks to host

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)
The two following values must be set as indicated:
