1. Power on the display of the Linux server.
2. Power on all devices other than the Linux server.
3. Confirm ready status of all devices.
4. Power on the Linux server.
Verifying new device recognition
1. Verify that the FCA driver is installed using the lsmod command.
2. View the device information in the /proc/scsi/scsi file.
Example
#cat /proc/scsi/scsiAttached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: HP Model: OPEN-9 Rev: 2105
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 01
Vendor: HP Model: OPEN-9 Rev: 2105
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 02
Vendor: HP Model: OPEN-9 Rev: 2105
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 03
Vendor: HP Model: OPEN-9 Rev: 2105
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
3. Verify that the system recognizes the disk array partitions by viewing the /proc/partitions
file.
Example

In the previous example, the “sd” devices represent the XP disk partitions and the “cciss”
devices represent the internal hard drive partitions on an HP Proliant system.
Configuring disk array devices
Disks in the disk array are configured using the same procedure for configuring any new disk on
the host. This includes the following procedures:
