2 Installing an FCSA
This section describes how to install a Fibre Channel ServerNet adapter (FCSA) in an
I/O adapter module (IOAM) enclosure.
Overview of FCSA Installation Procedures
ESS Connection
Installing the FCSA for a connection with an ESS requires coordination with the ESS
and FC switch administrators. They must supply you with this information:
•
The ESS WWNs
•
The LUNs available on each of the ESS WWNs
•
A description of how the LUNS are paired
For example, suppose there are four ESS ports, each of which are designated by a
unique WWN, but all of which have the same LUN. Suppose also that the LUNs
reference the same LDEV on two ports. You need to know which WWNs with the
same LUN reference the same LDEV.
The preceding information allows you to configure the storage subsystem path by
using the SCF ADD DISK command. The ESS WWNs and the LUN numbers are
attributes that you must configure in the ADD DISK command. In turn, you must supply
the ESS and FC switch administrators with the WWNs of the FCSA ports so they can
configure the switch and the ESS to make the FCSA ports visible to the appropriate
ESS ports. (If you are using direct connect, the FCSA WWNs might not need to be
updated, but fill them in on your FCSA Configuration Form anyway.)
