182 HP StorageWorks HSG60 and HSG80 Array Controller and Array Controller Software
Command Line Interface Reference Guide
OPERATING_SYSTEM=OS_name
Specifies the operating system of the host. The OPERATING_SYSTEM
switch tailors the controller's behavior for use with a particular operating
system. Refer to your operating system specific OS solution software kit to
determine which value should be used. The following values are supported:
■ HP
■ IBM
■ NETWARE
■ SGI
■ SNI
■ SUN
■ TRU64_UNIX
■ VMS
■ WINNT
■ AIX_CAMBEX
■ HP_VSA
RESERVATION_STYLE=CONNECTION_BASED (default)
RESERVATION_STYLE=HBA_PORT_ID_BASED
Selection of a reservation style should be based upon the capabilities of the
host operating system. Refer to the OS solution software kit for more details.
SCSI persistent reservations are processed differently by the HSG60 and
HSG80 based upon the reservation style. Normal SCSI reservations (not
persistent) are always treated as CONNECTION_BASED.
■ Specify HBA_PORT_ID_BASED to propagate a single persistent
reservation command to all HSG60 and HSG80 controller ports; thereby,
enabling the host to access the unit over any available path.
■ Specify CONNNECTION_BASED to allow the persistent reservation to be
only valid for the port on which it is received; thereby, limiting the host
access to those paths that are explicitly reserved.
