Note
In our example we will create a system volume set consisting of Ldev1 thru
Ldev 5 and a user volume set consisting of Ldev 35 thru Ldev 39.
We will assume that path 0/6/0/0 adapter is already configured.
6. Within SYSGEN add the path 0/6/0/0.90 for the FC_NPORT and then
add the Ldevs 1 thru 5 path=0/6/0/0.90.0 ID=HPDARRAY.
7. Then add the Ldevs 35 thru 39 which will be used as the user volume set
and save this configuration if a SYSGEN group called (for this example)
CONFIG.
8. Shutdown the system for reboot.
9. Reboot and add the members of the system volume set and create the user
volume set and complete the rest of installation and configuration of
the
system.
Below is an example of the DSTAT command after volume initialization
through VOLUTIL.
:dstat all

Add Switch Support
The addition of the FC switch into the configuration adds a little
complexity
to the setup but with a little effort it should be straight forward.
