FC Configuration Procedures
This chapter describes procedures to configure a subsystem that uses Fibre
Channel (FC) fabric topology. In fabric topology, the controller connects to its
hosts through hubs.
The following information is included in this chapter:
■ "Establishing a Local Connection", page 134
■ "Setting Up a Single Controller", page 135
■ "Setting Up a Controller Pair", page 145
■ "Configuring Devices", page 152
■ "Configuring Storage Containers", page 153
■ "Assigning Unit Numbers and Unit Qualifiers", page 159
■ "Configuration Options", page 160
■ "Verifying Storage Configuration from Host", page 164
Use the command line interpreter (CLI) or StorageWorks Command Console
(SWCC) to configure the subsystem. This chapter uses CLI to connect to the
controller. To use SWCC for configuration, see the SWCC online help for
assistance.
Note: These configuration procedures assume that controllers and cache modules are
installed in a fully functional and populated enclosure and that the PCMCIA cards are
installed.
To install a controller or cache module and the PCMCIA card, see the HP
StorageWorks HSG60 and HSG80 Array Controller and Array Controller
Software Maintenance and Service Guide.
