Configuring the Array Operating Settings
There are several settings that control the operation of the array. The values
selected for these settings are determined by the operating environment.
The various settings and when they need to be changed are listed in the
following table. Identify the settings that need to be changed and perform the
required steps.
Note
To view the current array settings, type
vfpdsp -s
Setting
Default
When to change
Host port behavior
HP-UX
If the host(s) connected to the array are running
an operating system other than HP-UX. Also, if
the CommandView SDM management host is not
an HP-UX host.
Port data rate*
(VA 7400/7410 and VA 7110
only)
1 Gbit/sec
If the array will be connected to a host/switch
with a 2 Gbit/sec data rate
Port topology*
Private Loop
If the array will be operating in a Public Loop or
Direct Fabric Attach topology
Controller Loop ID*
Controller 1: 108
Controller 2: 110
If the default settings conflict with any other
devices on the loop
RAID operating level
AutoRAID
If the there is a need to operate the entire array
in RAID 1+0 mode.
* Changing any of these settings requires that the array be reset before the new setting is used. Only one
reset is required to invoke all new settings, so change all the necessary settings and then reset the array.
