Step 12. Format the array controller enclosure Formatting the array controller enclosure performs the following operations: - Places identifying drive stamps on each drive in the array. - Reserves image disks in the controller enclosure. - Deletes all LUNs. - Initializes the memory maps. - Creates pseudo-LUN 0 allocated with zero bytes so the host will recognize the array. ■ To format the array, enter the following command: vfpfmt Step 13. Power-off the array controller enclosure ■ Push in the power/standby switch then release it to the standby position. See Figure 11. Note The system power/activity LED will turn off when the power/ standby switch is set to the standby position. Step 14. Disconnect the RS-232 terminal 1 Power-off the RS-232 terminal. 2 Remove the null-modem cable from the array controller. 3 Remove the null-modem cable from the RS-232 terminal. Step 15. Connect fiber optic cables Note In multi-host environments, it is recommended that the array be initially connected only to the host(s) that will be running CommandView SDM. After the array is fully configured, including LUN security, the remaining hosts can be added. This will avoid the situation of a host initially seeing LUNs that disappear after LUN security is enabled. Connecting front-end fiber optic cables Connect front-end fiber optic cables to the HOST FC connectors on the array controllers and to the host adapter, hub, or switch.

Step 12. Format the array controller enclosure
Formatting the array controller enclosure performs the
following operations:
—
Places identifying drive stamps on each drive in the array.
—
Reserves image disks in the controller enclosure.
—
Deletes all LUNs.
—
Initializes the memory maps.
—
Creates pseudo-LUN 0 allocated with zero bytes so the host will
recognize the array.
■
To format the array, enter the following command:
vfpfmt
Step 13. Power-off the array controller enclosure
■
Push in the power/standby switch then release it to the standby position.
See
Figure 11
.
Note
The system power/activity LED will turn off when the power/
standby switch is set to the standby position.
Step 14. Disconnect the RS-232 terminal
1
Power-off the RS-232 terminal.
2
Remove the null-modem cable from the array controller.
3
Remove the null-modem cable from the RS-232 terminal.
Step 15. Connect fiber optic cables
Note
In multi-host environments, it is recommended that the array be
initially connected
only to the host(s) that will be running
CommandView SDM. After the array is fully configured,
including LUN security, the remaining hosts can be added. This
will avoid the situation of a host initially seeing LUNs that
disappear after LUN security is enabled.
Connecting front-end fiber optic cables
Connect front-end fiber optic cables to the HOST FC connectors on the array
controllers and to the host adapter, hub, or switch.
