HP StorageWorks SAN Virtualization Services Platform Administrator Guide (5697-0934, May 2011)

The HBA saves this information. It makes no difference in what order the arrays are scanned. The

HBA assigns the saved target ID to the WWPN.

Emulex HBAs with Windows

To enable persistent binding with Emulex HBAs:

1. Launch the HBAnyware utility. This application can be downloaded from hp.com or

emulex.com.

2. Select a port on an HBA from the list displayed on the left side of the screen.

3. Select the Target Mapping tab.

4. Bind to the WWPN by clicking on a Target WWPN, and then clicking the Add Binding button.

Either accept the default entries or change them as appropriate and click OK.

5. Restart the server activate the changes.

Presenting SVSP virtual disks to servers

The HBAs of a server need to be defined so that the DPM can customize its interface to the operating

system of the server that will be using the virtual disk. This is done by creating a user defined host

(UDH), which is an alias definition for the server's HBAs with a common property that sets the

operating system. The DPMs use the UDH for selective LUN presentation to one or more UDHs. If

the UDH is not defined, a virtual disk can be created, but cannot be presented to a host. To be

used, a UDH must be created. Granting access permissions is done per UDH, and not per HBA.

NOTE: Verify that the appropriate multipath drivers are installed and configured before presenting

(or re-presenting in the case of a replacement server) any LUNs from the SVSP domain to the server.

Creating the user defined host (UDH)

NOTE: Knowing the WWPN or WWNN of the server HBAs is helpful before starting this

procedure. This information can usually be found using the server's device management tools or

a query to the Fibre Channel switch to which the server is attached (for example, display the

switch's name server entries).

1. Place a mouse cursor on the host menu.

2. Right-click and select New.

3. Follow the wizard prompts that ask for a host name, OS type, and LUN range.
