In this example, the emulation type, LDEV number, CU number and array port designation should all be displayed for disk device hdisk3. Configuring disk array devices Disks in the disk array are configured using the same procedure for configuring any new disk on the host. This includes the following - HP XP24000 | HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP operating system configuration guide - Page 21
system. You can adjust the queue depth setting to optimize the I/O performance of the disk array.

to resolve an error condition, ask your HP support representative for assistance. See Calling the HP support center. Error conditions Depending on your system configuration, you may be able to view error messages (R-SIMS) as follows: • In XP Remote Web Console (Status tab) • In Command View XP - HP XP24000 | HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP operating system configuration guide - Page 30
and that disk array TIDs do not conflict with any host TIDs. Calling the HP support center If you are unable to resolve an error condition, contact the HP support center for assistance.
