"Configuring disk array devices" (page 103) • Configuring multipathing • Creating a Storage Repository • Adding a Virtual Disk to a domU • Adding a dynamic LUN 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 Installation roadmap 99

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
