Existing Fibre Channel HP-UX Configurations
I Refer to the current version of the HP StorageWorks Secure Path for HP-UX Installation and
Reference Guide for information on:
■ Changing from SCSI-2 to SCSI-3, Command Console LUN (CCL) behavior
■ Changing HBAs and switch modes from QuickLoop to Fabric
Install the HBAs
I You must install at least two HBAs in each host system. HBAs must be installed in pairs.
Power down your HP-UX host and install the HBAs in any of the free PCI slots. Install the
HBA device driver if needed.
Refer to vendor's adapter service and user guide for installation instructions.
Connect the Host to the SAN
Use your established cabling policy to connect the host to the Fibre Channel switches:
I 1. Use 50-micron, multimode fiber optic cable to connect one adapter of each pair to the top
fabric.
I 2. Use 50-micron, multimode fiber optic cable to connect the other adapter of each pair to the
bottom fabric.
Example: If there are four adapters in a server, the first and third adapters must be
connected to the top Fibre Channel switch. The second and fourth adapters must be
connected to the bottom Fibre Channel switch.
Rename the Host Connections
To better identify which hosts you are working with, HP recommends that you rename the host
connections, using a meaningful connection name for each. Each HBA appears as a
connection on the HSG80. An HBA can be identified by its WWN in the connection
description. To find the WWN of each HBA, refer to Chapter 7, “Troubleshooting.”
Initially, each connection on the HSG80 is named !NEWCONxx. It is much easier to track
connections if the connection names are meaningful, like "HostA1."
Note: If you use scripting to automate failover and failback operations, do not use dashes
(hyphens) as separators in your naming convention—use underscores instead. Dashes are not
allowed by the Perl scripting language.
I 1. Use the worksheet in Figure 19 on page 76 to assist in renaming your hosts. You may
reproduce this worksheet as needed.
I 2. When you have completed the worksheet, rename the connections:
RENAME !NEWCONxx TargetHostConnectionNamex
RENAME !NEWCONxx TargetHostConnectionNamey
Example: rename !NEWCONxx HostA1
Example: rename !NEWCONxx HostA2
