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 • Creating host groups Installation roadmap 87

10 IBM AIX
You and the HP service representative each play a role in installation. The HP service representative
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 87)
•
“Defining the paths” (page 87)
•
“Setting the host mode and host group mode for the disk array ports” (page 88)
•
“Setting the system option modes” (page 89)
•
“Configuring the Fibre Channel ports” (page 89)
2.
“Installing and configuring the host” (page 89)
•
“Loading the operating system and software” (page 89)
•
“Installing and configuring the FCAs ” (page 89)
•
“Clustering and fabric zoning” (page 89)
•
“Fabric zoning and LUN security for multiple operating systems” (page 90)
3.
“Connecting the disk array” (page 90)
•
“Verifying host recognition of disk array devices” (page 90)
4.
“Configuring disk array devices” (page 91)
•
“Changing the device parameters” (page 91)
•
“Assigning the new devices to volume groups” (page 93)
•
“Creating the journaled file systems” (page 95)
•
“Mounting and verifying the file systems” (page 97)
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
•
Creating host groups
