xviii HSG80 ACS Solution Software Version 8.7 for Compaq Tru64 UNIX Installation and
Configuration Guide
Configuration Flowchart
A three-part flowchart (Figures 1-3) is shown on the following pages. Refer to these
charts while installing and configuring a new storage subsystem. All references in the
flowcharts pertain to pages in this guide, unless otherwise indicated.
Table 2 below summarizes the content of the chapters.
Table 2: Summary of Chapter Contents
Chapters Description
1. Planning a
Subsystem
This chapter focuses on technical terms and knowledge needed to
plan and implement storage array subsystems.
2. Planning Storage
Configurations
Plan the storage configuration of your subsystem, using individual
disk drives (JBOD), storageset types (mirrorsets, stripesets, and
so on), and/or partitioned drives. This chapter describes
addressing conventions, configuration rules, creating storage
profiles, and creating storage maps.
3. Preparing the host
system
How to prepare your Tru64 UNIX host computer to accommodate
the HSG80 controller storage subsystem.
4. Installing,
Configuring the HSG
Agent
The Agent for HSG for a specific operating system polls the
storage.
5. FC Configuration
Procedures
How to configure a subsystem that uses Fibre Channel (FC) fabric
topology. In fabric topology, the controller connects to its hosts
through switches.
How to verify that multiple paths exist to virtual disk units under
Tru64 UNIX V5.1x.
6. Configuration
using CLI
How-to example of configuring a storage subsystem using the
Command Line Interpreter (CLI).
7. Backup, Clone,
Move Data
Description of common procedures that are not mentioned
elsewhere in this guide.
• Backing Up Subsystem Configuration
• Cloning Data for Backup
• Moving Storagesets
