Configuration Procedures
This section presents a set of macro-level procedures to perform:
■ Loop Configurations, page 173
■ Fabric Configurations, page 174
■ Reconfiguring from Loop to Fabric, page 174
■ Reconfiguring from Fabric to Loop, page 175
The following assumptions have been made in these procedures:
■ The server in question has an adapter to support the Fibre Channel loop or
fabric.
■ A storage system is available that will support a fibre connection.
■ Hubs and switches are available.
Loop Configurations
Note: This procedure assumes that the Solaris platform kit is being loaded onto the
system and a specific mode of operation is being selected.
1. Load the Solaris Platform kit and select the Loop mode for the driver when
prompted. By default, the Targets that are associated with the adapter are 64,
65.
2. Reboot the system. This is the normal reboot after driver/kit installation.
3. Complete the installation as documented with
/opt/steam/bin/Install.sh
.
4. If the server is in a hub configuration with multiple subsystems:
a. Verify that the controller is configured for loop mode and that the
specific, desired ALPAs are assigned to each destination controller port
using the CLI.
b. Verify that the server has the specific ALPAs assigned as Targets for the
adapter by using /opt/HPfcraid/bin/config.sh, Option 1,
View adapters.
5. Reboot the system for cases that require a change of ALPAs at the server.
Enter the command
reboot -- -r to force a reconfiguration boot.
