Configure the Controllers at the Target Site

Note: Target site procedure steps are marked with a target symbol, T. Initiator site procedures are

marked with an initiator symbol,

Before configuring the controllers at the target site, follow these preparatory steps:

T 1. Identify the World Wide Name (WWN) on the HBAs in each host.

T 2. Establish the names to assign to the target and initiator sites. Use a naming convention that

is meaningful, like building or city names; for example, name the initiator site BuildngA

and target site BuildngB.

Note: These names may be a maximum of nine characters. They may consist of alphanumeric

characters and special characters, except for the comma ( , ) and

backslash ( \ ).

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.

To get your DT system up and running, you must set up and configure the controllers. These

tasks are outlined in the following procedure:

T 1. Ensure that all enclosures, Fibre Channel switches, and power distribution units (PDUs)

are powered off.

T 2. Plug all rack PDU power cords into the main power receptacles.

T 3. Make sure that you have a serial connection ready to the maintenance port of each

controller. Refer to the HP StorageWorks HSG80 Array Controller ACS V8.7

Maintenance and Service Guide for instructions.

T 4. Power on all PDUs.

T 5. Ensure that the Fibre Channel switches are powered on, but not cabled.

Note: When the enclosures are turned on, the controllers start only if the PCMCIA cards are

already installed. If there are no cards in the controller slots, insert them now and press the

Reset button. Refer to the

HP StorageWorks HSG80 Array Controller ACS V8.7 Maintenance

and Service Guide

for complete instructions on properly seating the controller firmware cards.

T 6. Turn on the enclosures.

T 7. Establish a CLI connection to the bottom controller. Refer to the HP StorageWorks

HSG80 Array Controller ACS V8.7 Maintenance and Service Guide for instructions.

T 8. Verify that the bottom controller is on and functional by looking for the CLI prompt on the

maintenance port.
