When a new host group is added, additional host group modes (options) can be configured. The storage administrator must verify if an additional host group mode is required for the host group. The following host group mode (option) is available for OpenVMS: Table 14 Host mode setting (OpenVMS) Host Mode 33 Description Use this host mode to enable the option that sets the UUID Setting the UUID HP recommends that OpenVMS customers use host mode option 33 to enable the UUID feature. This increases the capabilities for OpenVMS hosts that access the disk array, by: • Allowing the presentation of CU:LDEVs before 7F:FF to the OpenVMS hosts. • Allowing the OpenVMS system administrator to define the DGA device number to present to the OpenVMS host. If use of host mode option 33 is enabled after devices are already presented to an OpenVMS host, HP recommends rebooting the OpenVMS host. Though SYSMAN IO AUTO can be used to discover new DGA devices, this helps avoid problems with stale data structures within OpenVMS. SAN boot and UUID with OpenVMS. The UUID can be used with OpenVMS for Integrity servers. This includes the system disk, quorum disk, and DOSD volumes. However for OpenVMS AlphaServer hosts, the UUID for those volumes must be set to the decimal value of the hexadecimal value of the 60 OpenVMS
