Installation and Reference Guide HP StorageWorks Secure Path 3.0F Service Pack 4 for HP-UX 11i v1.0 and 11i v2.0 (5697-8001, March 2009)

NOTE:
On HP servers running Secure Path, the floating nature of the CCL could result in unreliable unit
assignments when adding or deleting units. HP recommends that D0 be left unassigned if the CCL is
required or that the CCL is disabled if it is not going to be used.
Configuring the HSV100/110–based StorageWorks array
Before beginning the configuration, collect and record the following host information:
• Host LAN name.
• Host IP address.
• Fibre Channel adapter WWNs configured for Secure Path.
Use a supported web browser to access the Command View EVA management appliance.
NOTE:
See the online Command View EVA help system or the Storage Management Appliance Element
Manager for Enterprise Only user guide for information on these procedures. All of these procedures
need to be completed for your host to use the virtual disks.
Before your host servers can use the virtual disks, ensure that you have completed the following:
1. Initialize the storage system and create disk groups. When you first view the EVA from the
Command View EVA software, the storage pool is presented as uninitialized storage. Follow
documented procedures for initializing the storage system and creating disk groups.
2. Add the host to the storage system. Before the host can use the storage system’s virtual disks, the
host WWN of one HBA must be known to the storage system. Adding the host creates a path
from the storage system to one host adapter.
3. Add ports to all host adapters. From the host properties page, use Add Port to add connections
to the remaining HBA host adapters.
4. Create and present virtual disks to the host. Follow the steps to create the virtual disk family, vir-
tual disks, and present the disks to the host.
Several options are available for selecting a path preference and mode for a virtual disk. To optimize
load balancing, the load should be evenly distributed between controller A and controller B. The boot
default selected controller may be chosen by setting the controller Preferred path or mode. HP
recommends that you use either Path A - Failover only or Path B - Failover only. This mode allows
Secure Path to control failback to the original controller following a controller failure and replacement.
NOTE:
Path A - failover or failback and Path B - failover or failback are not supported on Secure Path for
HP-UX. This feature is designed for operating systems that cannot run Secure Path.
System configuration
To configure the system for Secure Path, follow the steps below:
1. Power on the server and boot HP-UX.
