Defining the paths Use XP Remote Web Console (shown) or XP Command View Advanced Edition Software to define paths (LUNs) between hosts and volumes in the disk array. This process is also called "LUN mapping." In XP Remote Web Console and XP Command View, LUN mapping includes: • Configuring ports • Enabling LUN security on the ports • Creating host groups • Assigning Fibre Channel adapter WWNs to host groups • Mapping volumes (LDEVs) to host groups (by assigning LUNs) In XP Command View Advanced Edition Software, LUN mapping includes: • Configuring ports • Creating storage groups • Mapping volumes and WWN/host access permissions to the storage groups For details see the HP StorageWorks XP LUN Manager User's Guide or the HP StorageWorks XP Command View Advanced Edition Software Device Manager Web Client User's Guide. Note the LUNs and their ports, WWNs, nicknames, and LDEVs for later use in verifying host and device configuration. Verifying host recognition of disk array devices 1. Log into the host as an administrator (root). 2. If the disk array LUNs are defined after the IBM system is powered on, issue a cfgmgr command to recognize the new devices.

Defining the paths
Use XP Remote Web Console (shown) or XP Command View Advanced Edition Software to define
paths (LUNs) between hosts and volumes in the disk array.
This process is also called
“
LUN mapping.
”
In XP Remote Web Console and XP Command View,
LUN mapping includes:
•
Configuring ports
•
Enabling LUN security on the ports
•
Creating host groups
•
Assigning Fibre Channel adapter WWNs to host groups
•
Mapping volumes (LDEVs) to host groups (by assigning LUNs)
In XP Command View Advanced Edition Software, LUN mapping includes:
•
Configuring ports
•
Creating storage groups
•
Mapping volumes and WWN/host access permissions to the storage groups
For details see the
HP StorageWorks XP LUN Manager User

s Guide
or the
HP StorageWorks XP
Command View Advanced Edition Software Device Manager Web Client User

s Guide
. Note the
LUNs and their ports, WWNs, nicknames, and LDEVs for later use in verifying host and device
configuration.
Verifying host recognition of disk array devices
1.
Log into the host as an administrator (root).
2.
If the disk array LUNs are defined after the IBM system is powered on, issue a
cfgmgr
command
to recognize the new devices.
