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

3. Configure all HBA ports:
a. Enable the Target Reset option.
b. Disable the “Enable LIP Reset.”
c. Disable the “Enable LIP Full login.”
4. For one HBA port, enable the Boot BIOS.
5. Configure a boot zone for the server. This zone should include only one path between the
host and the DPM.
6. Log in to the DPM using the admin username and issue the command show debug wwpn.
The DPM should see the boot HBA.
7. Log in to VSM GUI and add a host with an assigned HBA.
8. Create a virtual disk with at least the minimum size required by the operating system. Add a
UDH permission to the host.
9. Go to the HBA BIOS, scan the SAN devices, and check that one DPM port is listed.
10. Set the boot device in the HBA BIOS. This is a combination of the DPM WWNN and the LUN
assigned to the VSM volume. Save the settings and reboot the server.
11. Launch the Windows 2003/2008 Enterprise Edition installation process. When requested for
the destination for the operating system, select the VSM volume virtualized by the OS. It will
have the same LU number set through the VSM GUI and the same capacity as the VSM volume.
Complete the operating system installation.
12. Install or update the latest QLogic HBA driver. Reboot the server.
13. Install the multipathing host software (and failover driver). Reboot the server.
14. When a Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file
message appears on the Windows Boot Manager screen, press Enter, followed by F8. Choose
Disable Driver Signature Enforcement. (To prevent repeating these actions, you can run following
command from a command prompt: Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON).
15. Verify that the host appears in the VSM GUI host list.
16. Add the second host HBA to the original zone from step 5. The host should now see all required
front-end ports of both DPMs.
17. Log in to the DPM using the admin username and issue the command show debug wwpn.
The DPM included in the zone should see the second port HBA.
18. Go to the VSM GUI and add the second HBA to the host. Both must be in present state.
19. Restart the host, go to the HBA BIOS, and set the boot device to use the other DPM's front-end
port.
