Fibre Channel Device and Adapter Support on HP e 3000 Systems

Configuration Examples for Fibre Channel Adapters and Devices

io> lp 0/8/0/0.0.0

PATH: 0/8/0/0.0.0 LDEV: 1

ID: HPDARRAY TYPE: DISC

PMGR: SCSI_DISK_AND_ARRAY_DM PMGRPRI: 5

LMGR: LOGICAL_DEVICE_MANAGER MAXIOS: 0

Note that the PMGR will be set to “SCSI_DISK_AND_ARRAY_DM”. This software manager is the same that is

used for SCSI disk LUNs. At this point we have successfully configured the LUNs under the FC device

XP512.

To configure the LUNs under the FC device A6188A:

io> ap 0/8/0/0.95 id=FC_NPORT

io> ad 10 path=0/8/0/0.95.0 id=HPDARRAY

io> ad 11 path=0/8/0/0.95.5 id=HPDARRAY

io> ad 12 path=0/8/0/0.95.10 id=HPDARRAY

io> ad 13 path=0/8/0/0.95.50 id=HPDARRAY

At this point, we have successfully configured the disk LUNs under both FC devices connected to the FC

adapter card 0/8/0/0.

Using Fibre Channel Disk as LDEV-1

To use one of the disks under a Fibre Channel device as LDEV-1, it is necessary to first note down the long

format path of the disk. This long format path is the one printed by FCSCAN utility as “BOOT MENU PATH”.

For our discussion, let us take the FCSCAN output from the previous example:

:fcscan

FCSCAN has found the following Fibre Channel I/O Adapter Cards and Devices on this system.

SYSGEN PATH DESCRIPTION BOOT MENU PATH

============= ============= ================

0/8/0/0 Fibre Channel Adapter

0/8/0/0.0 Fibre Channel N-Port

0/8/0/0.0.0 HP OPEN-3 disk 0/8/0/0.8.0.0.0.0.0

0/8/0/0.0.1 HP OPEN-3 disk 0/8/0/0.8.0.0.0.0.1

0/8/0/0.0.105 HP OPEN-3 disk 0/8/0/0.8.0.0.0.13.1

0/8/0/0.95 Fibre Channel N-Port

0/8/0/0.95.0 HP A6188A disk 0/8/0/0.8.0.95.0.0.0

0/8/0/0.95.5 HP A6188A disk 0/8/0/0.8.0.95.0.0.5

0/8/0/0.95.10 HP A6188A disk 0/8/0/0.8.0.95.0.1.2

0/8/0/0.95.50 HP A6188A disk 0/8/0/0.8.0.95.0.6.2

Given the above setup of FC devices, assume that we want to use the disk at path 0/8/0/0.95.5 as our new

LDEV-1. Before going on to install this disk, first remember to note down the long format path for this disk.

As we can see, the long format path for this disk is 0/8/0/0.8.0.95.0.0.5.
