Table 3 Host Port Behavior Strings
To build the host port behavior table:
1 Using an ASCII text editor, create a host port behavior table file. In this
sample procedure the file is named behavior.txt.
2 Add an entry to the file for each host or host adapter that will access the
array. In this example two entries are made for an NT host, one entry for a
Linux host, and one entry for a Solaris host.
50060b0000017ee0 winnt
50060c6670019060 winnt
50060b00000158f8 linux
50060b000006a964 solaris
3 Save the host port behavior file.
4 Write the host port behavior table to the disk array:
armhost -w -f behavior.txt <array_id>
Step 20. Create LUNs
Creating the desired LUN structure on the array requires close coordination
with the customer. Make sure the customer has clearly defined the LUN
requirements.
Using the CommandView SDM interface of choice, create the required LUNs.
Refer to the on-line help or man pages for more information on creating LUNs.
