3. From the General host information panel, complete the following fields for each Fibre Channel
host adapter:
• Host type
• Nickname
• Description
When you are finished, click OK.
4. From the Define host ports panel, specify the host ports for this host. Click Add to add each
host port to the defined host ports table.
5. From the Define host WWPN panel, specify the worldwide port names for the selected hosts.
When finished, click Next.
6. From the Select storage images panel, specify the storage image for attachment. Click Add
to add the storage image to the selected storage images table. When finished, click Next.
7. From the Specify storage image parameters panel, specify the following parameters for each
storage image.
• Host attachment identifier v Volume Group for host attachment
• Type of I/O port (any valid storage image I/O port or a specific I/O port)
8. Click Apply to apply the current attachment assignment. Use this button to go through this
page for each host attachment identifier that you want to assign to the storage image. When
you are finished, click OK.
9. From the Verification panel, verify the data that represents the new host attachments. When
finished, click Finish.
Example of prerequisite information for FCP Linux on zSeries
• Linux hostname: linuxa
• CHPID of the FCP port on the z800: 15
• WWPN of the FCP port on the z800: 50:05:07:64:01:40:01:7d
• FCP port on the storage unit: Enclosure 3 Slot 1
• WWPN of the FCP port on the storage unit: 50:05:07:63:00:c8:95:89
Setting up a Linux system to use FCP protocol devices on zSeries hosts
Begin by collecting the following software configuration information to prepare a Linux system to
access the storage unit through a Fibre Channel:
• Host name of the server hosting the Linux system
• Device address (and CHPID) of the FCP port that is attached to the Linux machine
• WWPN of the FCP port on the zSeries
• Fibre Channel port on the storage unit
• WWPN of the Fibre Channel port on the storage unit
You can obtain this information using the HMC, the IBM TotalStorage DS Storage Manager, and
the SAN switch. (page 34) shows an example of the prerequisite information that you must obtain
to run FCP Linux on the zSeries.
Confirm that you have installed the following modules (at a minimum) to use the FCP device with
the storage unit:
• qdio: This is the same module is used for other qdio devices
• scsi_mod: defines SCSI core parameters
