3–2 Compaq StorageWorks Data Replication Manager HSG80 ACS Version 8.5P Operations Guide
Host Bus Adapter Requirements
To run your Data Replication Manager solution, you must have two host bus adapters
installed into your host system. Refer to the KGPSA PCI-to-Fibre Channel Host Adapter
guide that came with your adapter for detailed information on this hardware.
At this time, it is important to locate and record the worldwide names of each host bus
adapter. For the host bus adapter at the target site, you can record the worldwide name in
the worksheet provided in the Configuration chapter. The initiator site host bus adapter
worldwide names can be recorded in the worksheet found in the Configuration chapter.
You will need to have this number handy when you rename the host connections in the
Configuration chapter.
NOTE: The worldwide name can be found on the bottom of the host bus adapter board. Look for
a small bar code label with an IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) precursor.
Worldwide name example: 1000-0000-C920-A5BA
Setting Up the Fibre Channel Switches
The Fibre Channel gigabit switch must be in place before the subsystems can be cabled
and configured. You will need the following to install your Fibre Channel switches:
■ Power cord
■ 10BASE-T cable with RJ45 plug (to be connected to a low-cost Ethernet hub or
switch)
■ Fixed IP address and subnetmask (one of each per switch)
The Ethernet cable and IP address are required to monitor and administer the Fibre
Channel switch. You will have to configure the Ethernet IP address and the Ethernet IP
subnet mask with the front panel buttons of the Fibre Channel switch. See the
StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Switch User’s Guide for more details.
Once the Ethernet IP settings are established, perform the following steps:
1. Update the \winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file with the IP address and the name of
the Fibre Channel switch.
2. Ping using the Ethernet IP address of the switch. If this is successful, you have access
to the switch.
3. Ping using the name of the switch. This will verify the operation of the name
resolution.
