6. On the Add a Host Port page, enter the WWID of the second HBA port on the administration server,
then click the Add port button.

If the administration and MDS server pair have access to a second EVA4000 array, repeat these steps to
create an entry for the server pair on that array also.
Proceed to Section 6.11 to present virtual disks to the administration server.
6.7 Step 7: Presenting virtual disks to the administration server
Virtual disks are not seen as LUNs by the servers until they have been presented to the HBA ports on the
servers.
For the administration server, you must present the following virtual disks to the EVA4000 host entry that you
created for the administration and MDS server pair:
• One virtual disk for use as an administration LUN for the entire system.
• For each file system you intend to create, two virtual disks for use as MDS LUNs (for example, if you
have two file systems, you must have four MDS LUNs).
• One virtual disk for use as a service LUN for the administration and MDS server pair.
• If OST services run on the administration and MDS servers, two virtual disks for use as OST LUNs.
You can present virtual disks using either the SSSU utility, or the Command View EVA Web interface. Both
of these methods are described here.
Using the SSSU utility
To present virtual disks to a host entry using the SSSU utility, connect to the array where you created the host
entry for the administration and MDS server pair, as shown in the following example:
sssu> select system HSV01
HSV01>
Then enter the commands shown in the following examples, where LUNs are presented to the
south1-south2 host:
sssu> select system HSV01
HSV01> ADD LUN 1 HOST="\Hosts\sfs\south1-south2"
VDISK="\Virtual Disks\sfs\adm\ACTIVE"
HSV01> ADD LUN 1 HOST="\Hosts\sfs\south1-south2"
VDISK="\Virtual Disks\sfs\service1\ACTIVE"
HSV01> ADD LUN 2 HOST="\Hosts\sfs\south1-south2"
VDISK="\Virtual Disks\sfs\ostA\ACTIVE"
HSV01>
