Verifying Storage Configuration from the Host
Once the StorageWorks Solution Software has been installed, logical units may be created
on the RAID Array and configured into the system. Create these logical units using the
Client or the CLI. To utilize the Client to create logical units, the Agent and Client must
first be installed on the AIX and Windows systems, respectively.
New logical units created on the RAID Array must be recognized by the operating system
before they can be utilized. The following steps outline the process:
1. Using the CLI or the Client, create the logical units on the RAID Array.
2. As the superuser (root), run the command on the host:
# cfgmgr -v
3. Verify that the host has located and configured the new RAID Array devices in the
operating system using the command:
# lsdev -Cc disk
The output of the command looks like:
