170 EMC Ionix ControlCenter 6.1: Taking Control of Your Datacenter
Configuring and Controlling Your Datacenter
Adding HP XP LUSEs to a host
This example demonstrates how a storage administrator uses Ionix ControlCenter to
add a new website and requires an additional 20 GB of RAID 5 storage for the Web
server. The Web server (l82ar122) is an existing host that is already cabled and zoned
to an HP XP 12000 array.
During the initial setup and configuration of the HP XP array and this host, the
administrator used Ionix ControlCenter to complete the following tasks:
◆ Enabled LUN security on the array port (otherwise, all LUNs mapped to this port
will be accessible to the connected host.)
◆ Set the host mode on the array ports to specify which hosts (based on OS) can
access the LUNs on the array.
◆ Zoned the host and array ports.
◆ Added the host to a host group on the storage port.
Once the array ports are set up correctly, the administrator adds storage to the Web
Server as follows:
◆ Determines the array port
◆ Determines if storage is available
◆ Creates LUSEs (logical unit size expansion volumes)
◆ Masks devices to the array port
◆ Discovers devices on host
Determining the array port
The administrator uses the Relationship view to determine which port on the array has
connectivity to the host.
To do this, the administrator:
1. On the Console toolbar, clicks the Relationship button and displays the
Relationship view.
2. Clicks the Table button to switch from the map view to the table view.
3. In the Console tree expands the folders Hosts, Windows Hosts, host l82ar122,
Host Devices, and drags host l82ar122 into the Relationship view (Figure 151).
