Configuring the Storage Subsystem for Secure Path Operation
This section describes how to configure the storage subsystem controllers for a
Secure Path environment, which includes:
• Setting the controllers to the multibus failover mode
• Preferring (specifying) which storage controller the I/O of each disk will be
assigned to upon system boot
Setting Storage Controllers to Multibus Failover
Secure Path operation requires that the storage controllers be configured for a
multiple bus failover mode. To configure a storage controller for multiple bus
failover mode:
1. Click Start on the taskbar from the maintenance server.
2. Select Programs, Command Console, CLI Window.
3. Click CLI Window to display the Connection Selection dialog box.
4. Select Serial and click OK to display the Connect Serial dialog box.
5. Select the COM port (the port to which the storage controller is connected).
6. Select a baud rate of 9600.
7. Click Connect to display the CLI window.
NOTE: You may need to press Enter to initialize communications before entering CLI
commands.
8. Type the following command and press Enter:
set nofailover
The “other” controller will shut down and must be manually restarted by
momentarily depressing the reset button on the controller front panel. Wait
two minutes for the controller to boot before proceeding.
