HP XP P9000 Configuration Guide (AV400-96525, November 2012)

• z = LUN
• c stands for controller
• t stands for target ID
• d stands for device
The numbers x, y, and z are hexadecimal.

5. Verify that the SCSI TIDs correspond to the assigned port address for all connected ports (see
mapping tables in “SCSI TID map for Fibre Channel adapters (HP-UX)” (page 98), for values).
If so, the logical devices are recognized properly.
If the logical devices are not recognized properly:
• Check the AL-PA for each port using the LUN Manager software.
• If the same port address is set for multiple ports on the same loop (AL with HUB), all port
addresses except one changed to another value, and the relationship between AL-PA and
TID does not correspond to the mapping given in “SCSI TID map for Fibre Channel
adapters (HP-UX)” (page 98), set a different address for each port, reboot the server, and
then verify new device recognition again.
• If unused device information remains, the TID-to-AL-PA mapping will not correspond to
the mapping given in “SCSI TID map for Fibre Channel adapters (HP-UX)” (page 98).
Renew the device information, and then verify new device recognition again.
Configuring disk array devices
Disk arrays are configured using the same procedure for configuring any new disk on the host.
This includes the following procedures:
1. “Verifying the device files and drivers” (page 19)
2. “Creating the device files” (page 19)
3. “Creating the physical volumes” (page 21)
4. “Creating new volume groups” (page 21)
5. “Creating logical volumes” (page 23)
6. “Creating the file systems” (page 25)
7. “Setting the I/O timeout parameter” (page 25)
8. “Creating the mount directories” (page 26)
9. “Mounting and verifying the file systems” (page 26)
10. “Setting and verifying the auto-mount parameters” (page 27)
The HP-UX system uses the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) to manage the OPEN-x devices on the
disk array. The instructions in this section do not explicitly cover all LVM configuration issues. For
further information on LVM configuration, see the HP-UX user documentation.
HP System Administrator Manager (SAM) can be used instead of UNIX commands to configure
SCSI disk devices. See “Reference information for the HP System Administrator Manager
SAM” (page 131) for further information. The newer releases of HP-UX have deprecated the SAM
tool and replaced it with the System Management Homepage (SMH) tool.
