is responsible for installing the disk array and formatting the disk devices. You are responsible for
configuring the host server for the new devices with assistance from the HP service representative.
Installation roadmap
Perform these actions to install and configure the disk array:
1.
“Installing and configuring the disk array” (page 36)
•
“Defining the paths” (page 36)
•
“Setting the host mode and host group mode for the disk array ports” (page 37)
•
“Configuring the Fibre Channel ports” (page 37)
2.
“Installing and configuring the host” (page 37)
•
“Loading the operating system and software” (page 37)
•
“Installing and configuring the FCAs ” (page 37)
•
“Configuring NetWare client” (page 37)
•
“Configuring NetWare ConsoleOne” (page 38)
•
“Clustering and fabric zoning” (page 38)
•
“Fabric zoning and LUN security for multiple operating systems” (page 39)
3.
“Connecting the disk array” (page 39)
•
“Verifying new device recognition” (page 39)
4.
“Configuring disk devices” (page 40)
•
“Creating the disk partitions” (page 40)
•
“Assigning the new devices to volumes” (page 42)
•
“Mounting the new volumes” (page 43)
•
“Verifying client operations” (page 43)
Installing and configuring the disk array
The HP service representative performs these tasks:
•
Assembling hardware and installing software
•
Loading the microcode updates
•
Installing and formatting devices
After these tasks are finished, use Remote Web Console, Command View Advanced Edition, or
Array Manager to complete the remaining disk array configuration tasks. If you do not have these
programs, your HP service representative can perform these tasks for you.
Defining the paths
Use Command View Advanced Edition or Remote Web Console to define paths between hosts
and volumes (LUNs) in the disk array.
This process is also called “LUN mapping.” In the Remote Web Console, LUN mapping includes:
•
Configuring ports
•
Enabling LUN security on the ports
