HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.3 and 7.3 Update 1 Logical Server Management User Guide

HP Matrix OE logical server management storage volume requirements
HP Matrix OE logical server management only requires a storage volume entry for the primary
boot port during the logical server storage creation process. When importing an Integrity VM Host,
logical server management only populates the storage volume information for the primary boot
port. For other virtual FC ports assigned to the Integrity VM guest, only the SAN port information
is defined in the logical server storage entry during the import operation.
Also, setting multiple volumes on a SAN port during the logical server creation process only causes
the first volume to be added to the Integrity VM logical server. All other volumes are note operational
and are explicitly ignored when activating an Integrity VM logical server
Matrix OE logical server management storage LUN format
It is critical to ensure that the storage LUN that is configured as part of the Logical Server Creation
Wizard be in VSA mode to avoid problems with HP-UX. Figure 5 illustrates where and how to set
the LUN.
Figure 5 Setting the LUN in VSA mode
The LUN number set in Create Storage Entry should be in VSA mode. For example, if the LUN
number is 2 then use 4002000000000000. Physical to physical moves will not work properly if
this format is not followed.
Configuring Integrity VM and HP-UX for cross-technology moves
For information about configuring Integrity VM and HP-UX for cross-technology moves, see
“Managed system hardware and firmware requirements” and “Managed system software
requirements” in the HP Insight Management 7.3 Update 1 Support Matrix.
Operations and guidelines
This section defines the cross-technology logical server operations that are supported on Integrity
VM. In addition, guidelines are provided on the specific requirements that need to be adhered to
when executing a specific operation on Integrity VM.
