To map the above volumes, use either of the following:
• The CLI AddExternalArrayGroup command
• Element Manager, XP P9000 Remote Web Console, or XP Remote Web Console
Clicking a link in the GUI
When clicking a link in the GUI, do not click the link while pressing the Ctrl key.
KAIC16009-E error dialog boxes may appear if you click a link while pressing the Ctrl key.
If this occurs, close all of the error dialog boxes.
Using a Device Manager agent on an AIX host
To use a Device Manager agent on an AIX host, the ODMDIR environment variable must be set in
advance.
Managing path groups with External Storage in XP24000/XP20000 and XP P9500
If you change path group settings using XP P9000 Remote Web Console or XP Remote Web Console,
Device Manager cannot correctly manage the priority of the paths connecting storage systems in their
path group. As a result the following symptoms occur in volume virtualization using the path group
whose settings were changed using Remote Web Console.
Symptom 1 (GUI):
The existing path group was not recommended for External Paths in the Virtualize Volumes dialog box
and the volume virtualization was executed by using a new path group.
Symptom 2 (GUI):
The existing paths between storage systems were not displayed in order of External Path Priority in
the Virtualize Volumes dialog box.
Symptom 3 (GUI, CLI):
The volume virtualization using the existing path group generated the following messages:
• GUI: DevMgr 7.0.0-00 or later: KAIC06450-E
• CLI: HDvM 6.1.0-00 or later: KAIC90083-E (error code: 6450)
Do not change the path group setting using XP P9000 Remote Web Console or XP Remote Web
Console.
Allocating volumes to many hosts
Operations in the Allocate Volumes dialog box cannot continue and the GUI is grayed out if the
following conditions are met:
• Device Manager 7.2.1-02 or later is used.
• The volumes are allocated to 101 or more hosts using the Allocate Volumes dialog box.
When allocating the volume to 101 or more hosts at one time by using the Allocate Volumes dialog
box, allocate the volumes to 100 or fewer hosts at one time. Repeat the allocation as necessary.
Storage system in which many command devices are recognized by many hosts
When 100 and more hosts that recognize command devices in a storage system are detected, adding
or refreshing the storage system might not succeed.
