Establishing Communication Between the VLS12200 Gateway and the EVA This section describes how to establish communication between the VLS12200 Gateway and the EVA by adding hosts and ports to the EVA and then presenting the LUNs. Verifying Array Zoning Verify that you have configured the zoning between the EVA ports and all storage ports on all the nodes of your VLS Gateway. For example, storage ports 2 and 3 on each node should connect to different SAN zones/fabrics; EVA controllers should also be connected to both zones/fabrics. If you have not done so, refer to the HP StorageWorks VLS and D2D Solutions Guide to do so now. Presenting the LUNs NOTE: If you have noted the list of WWPNs while performing the multi-node setup (see "Configuring the Secondary Nodes 1 through 3" (page 23)), go directly to step 2 of the procedure below. 1. Gather the device WWPNs. a. From Command View VLS, select the System tab. b. From the Navigation Tree, select Nodes, then a specific node, then Fibre Channel. The status pane displays information about the Fibre Channel ports including the world wide port names (WWPNs) (Figure 2 (page 24)). Figure 2 Fibre Channel details window c. Write down the WWPN for each storage port on the node. There is no need to write down the WWPNs for the host ports. d. Repeat these steps for each node on the VLS Gateway. 2. Create a host entry for the VLS device using the WWPNs gathered in the previous step: a. Access Command View EVA. 24 Storage Configuration

4 Storage Configuration
This section describes how to configure the storage after the nodes have been configured.
Establishing Communication Between the VLS12200 Gateway and the
EVA
This section describes how to establish communication between the VLS12200 Gateway and the
EVA by adding hosts and ports to the EVA and then presenting the LUNs.
Verifying Array Zoning
Verify that you have configured the zoning between the EVA ports and all storage ports on all the
nodes of your VLS Gateway. For example, storage ports 2 and 3 on each node should connect
to different SAN zones/fabrics; EVA controllers should also be connected to both zones/fabrics.
If you have not done so, refer to the
HP StorageWorks VLS and D2D Solutions Guide
to do so
now.
Presenting the LUNs
NOTE:
If you have noted the list of WWPNs while performing the multi-node setup (see
“Configuring the Secondary Nodes 1 through 3” (page 23)
), go directly to step 2 of the procedure
below.
1.
Gather the device WWPNs.
a.
From Command View VLS, select the
System
tab.
b.
From the Navigation Tree, select
Nodes
, then a specific node, then
Fibre Channel
.
The status pane displays information about the Fibre Channel ports including the world
wide port names (WWPNs) (
Figure 2 (page 24)
).
Figure 2 Fibre Channel details window
c.
Write down the WWPN for each storage port on the node. There is no need to write
down the WWPNs for the host ports.
d.
Repeat these steps for each node on the VLS Gateway.
2.
Create a host entry for the VLS device using the WWPNs gathered in the previous step:
a.
Access Command View EVA.
