4 Storage Configuration This section describes how to configure the storage after the nodes have been configured. Establishing Communication Between the VLS12000 Gateway and the EVA This section describes how to establish communication between the VLS12000 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 7" on page 33), go directly to step 2 of the procedure below.
