Configuration Procedures 5–13
7. Set the node by acquiring the World Wide Name (WWN) node number and checksum
from the enclosed label (located on the top surface of the controller enclosure), and by
entering the following command:
HSG> SET THIS_CONTROLLER NODE=NNNN-NNNN-NNNN-NNNN CHECKSUM
8. Enable the command console LUN by entering the following command:
HSG> SET THIS_CONTROLLER COMMAND_CONSOLE_LUN
9. Set the port topology offline by entering the following command:
HSG> SET THIS_CONTROLLER PORT_1_TOPOLOGY=OFFLINE
HSG> SET THIS_CONTROLLER PORT_2_TOPOLOGY=OFFLINE
10. Set the port topology by entering the following command:
HSG> SET THIS_CONTROLLER PORT_1_TOPOLOGY=FABRIC
HSG> SET THIS_CONTROLLER PORT_2_TOPOLOGY=FABRIC
See Table 5–2 on page 12 for an example of LOOP_HARD topology setup.
11. Set the SCSI version by entering the following command:
HSG> SET THIS_CONTROLLER SCSI VERSION=SCSI-2
12. Determine if the operating system set for the online controller connection is WINNT,
by entering the following command:
HSG> SHOW CONNECTIONS
IMPORTANT: Although an IBM operating system entry exists in the CLI and SWCC, for the fibre
channel connection, use default setting WINNT for operation with your IBM host. The IBM setting
may cause problems when LUNs are not available to AIX or during controller failover.
HSG> SET !NEWCONxx OPERATING_SYSTEM=WINNT
where: xx is the online connection ID produced in the SHOW CONNECTIONS command above.
NOTE: Further information on command syntax can be found in the Compaq StorageWorks
HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.6 CLI Reference Guide
13. Restart the controllers for the new settings to take effect, by entering the following
command:
HSG> RESTART OTHER_CONTROLLER
HSG> RESTART THIS_CONTROLLER
It takes about a minute for the CLI prompt to come back after a RESTART command.
