HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP operating system configuration guide for IBM AIX XP24000, XP12000, XP10000, SVS200, v01 (A5951 - 96047, June 2007)

Defining the paths
Use XP Remote Web Console (shown), XP Command View (XP arrays only), or Command View XP
Advanced Edition Software to define paths (LUNs) between hosts and volumes in the disk array.
This process is also called “LUN mapping.” In XP Remote Web Console and XP Command View,
LUN mapping includes:
• Configuring ports
• Enabling LUN security on the ports
• Creating host groups
• Assigning host bus adapter WWNs to host groups
• Mapping volumes to host groups (by assigning LUNs)
In Command View XP Advanced Edition Software, LUN mapping includes:
• Configuring ports
• Creating storage groups
• Mapping volumes and WWN/host access permissions to the storage groups
For details see HP StorageWorks XP LUN Manager User's Guide or HP StorageWorks Command
View XP Advanced Edition Software Device Manager Web Client User's Guide. Note the LUNs and
their ports, WWNs, nicknames, and LDEVs for later use in verifying host and device configuration.
Verifying host recognition of disk array devices
1. Log into the host as an administrator (root).
2. If the disk array LUNs are defined after the IBM system is powered on, issue a cfgmgr command
to recognize the new devices.
3. Use the lsdev command to display system device data and verify that the system recognizes
the newly installed devices.
The devices are listed by device file name. All new devices should be listed as “Available.” If
they are listed as “Define,” you must do more configuration before they can be used.
