HP 3PAR RedHat and Oracle Linux Implementation Guide

4. To confirm that the Veritas vxdmp driver has registered and claimed the HP 3PAR StoreServ
Storage, issue the following Veritas command:
# vxddladm listsupport libname=libvx3par.so
ATTR_NAME ATTR_VALUE
=======================================================================
LIBNAME libvx3par.so
VID 3PARdata
PID VV
ARRAY_TYPE A/A
ARRAY_NAME 3PARDATA
If you are using the Veritas Storage Foundation version 5.0mp3 or higher, then you do not
need to install the ASL for the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage. To verify that the HP 3PAR StoreServ
Storage is recognized and supported by the installation, run the following command:
# vxddladm listsupport libname=libvx3par.so
ATTR_NAME ATTR_VALUE
=======================================================================
LIBNAME libvx3par.so
VID 3PARdata
PID VV
ARRAY_TYPE A/A
ARRAY_NAME 3PARDATA
However, if the output does not show the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage, perform the following
step to have the storage server added as a 3PARDATA device:
# vxddladm addsupport all
Then verify that the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage is supported, as shown in the following
example.
# vxddladm listsupport libname=libvx3par.so
ATTR_NAME ATTR_VALUE
=======================================================================
LIBNAME libvx3par.so
VID 3PARdata
PID VV
ARRAY_TYPE A/A
ARRAY_NAME 3PARDATA
WARNING! If the ARRAY_NAME is not designated as 3PARDATA, the multipathing layer
may not discover devices correctly.
Installing the HP 3PAR Host Explorer Package
With HP 3PAR OS 2.3.1 and OS 3.1.x, the Host Explorer daemon running on the RHEL server
can send information about the host configuration to an HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage over the Fibre
Channel link. For installation and activation of this package, see the HP 3PAR Host Explorer User’s
Guide on the HP SC website:
