Testing Connections to the Enterprise Virtual Array
26 Windows Kit V3.0B for Enterprise Virtual Array Installation and Configuration Guide
Testing the Storage System Scripting Utility
The Storage System Scripting Utility (SSSU) is installed from the Windows Kit
V3.0B for Enterprise Virtual Array (see “Installing the Storage System Scripting
Utility” on page 23). You should verify that SSSU runs from your host server.
The SSSU executable is installed in the following directory by default:
C:\Program Files\Compaq\SSSU
To start SSSU:
Choose Start > Programs > SSSU and SSSU opens in a DOS window.
Testing Connectivity to Virtual Disks
Virtual disks need to be set up and presented to your host server in order to test the
connectivity and to begin using them. This section briefly describes how to create,
present, and access virtual disks.
Host Connectivity to the Fabric
After you have installed the FCA, you need to connect the host to the switches.
Refer to “Connecting Hosts to Switches” on page 30 for the specific cabling
instructions.
Note: Ensure that you install Secure Path before you connect your host to the switches.
Adding Hosts
You add a host using the Command View EVA. You need to add each FCA
installed in the host system in order for the host to work with the Enterprise
Virtual Array.
1. Collect information on the World Wide Names (WWNs) for each FCA on
your server. You need this information when choosing the host FCAs in the
Command View EVA.
Adding hosts through the Command View EVA software consists of adding
each FCA adapter installed in the host. The first step uses the Add Host
function, and each subsequent adapter uses the Add Port function. Ensure
that you add a port for each active FCA.
