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. An HBA can be identified by its WWN, which you recorded when you installed
the HBAs, and which appears in the connection description.
Initially, each connection is named !NEWCONxx. It is much easier to track connections if the
connection names are meaningful, like “HostB1.” We suggest that you use the worksheet in
Figure 19 on page 76 to assist in renaming your hosts.
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.
T 1. When you have completed the worksheet, rename the connections:
RENAME !NEWCONxx TargetHostConnectionNamex
RENAME !NEWCONxx TargetHostConnectionNamey
Example: rename !NEWCON01 HostB1
Example: rename !NEWCON02 HostB2
T 2. Change the operating system to Solaris for each connection:
SET TargetHostConnectionName OPERATING_SYSTEM = SUN
Example: set HostB1 operating_system = sun
T 3. When you have finished renaming your host connections, issue the following command to
see your settings:
SHOW CONNECTIONS
You should see a display similar to that in Example Display 23.
Example Display 23
Connection Unit
Name Operating system Controller Port Address Status Offset
HOSTB1 SUN THIS 1 210013 online 0
HOST_ID=nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn ADAPTER_ID=nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn
HOSTB2 SUN OTHER 1 200113 online 0
HOST_ID=nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn ADAPTER_ID=nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn
Update Switch Zones
The switch zones created earlier must be updated with the host connection information (refer
to Chapter 6, “Configuring the Optional Advanced DRM Solutions,” for detailed information
on zone creation):
T 1. On the top fabric, add the host connection to the zone that contains port 1 of the top target
controller.
T 2. On the bottom fabric, add the host connection to the zone that contains port 1 of the
bottom target controller.
