FC Configuration Procedures
151HSG80 ACS Solution Software V8.8 for IBM AIX Installation and Configuration Guide
19. Turn on the switches, if not done previously.
Plugging in the FC Cable and Verifying Connections
20. Plug the FC cable from the first host adapter into the switch or hub. Enter a
SHOW CONNECTIONS command to view the connection table:
HSG > SHOW CONNECTIONS
The first connection has one or more entries in the connection table. Each
connection has a default name of the form !NEWCONxx, where xx is a
number representing the order in which the connection was added to the
connection table.
For a description of why plugging in one adapter can result in multiple
connections, see "Numbers of Connections", page 42.
21. Rename the connections to something meaningful to the system and easy to
remember. For example, to assign the name ANGEL1A1 to connection
!NEWCON01, enter:
HSG > RENAME !NEWCON01 ANGEL1A1
HP recommends using a naming convention, see "Naming Connections",
page 41.
22. Specify the operating system for the connection:
HSG > SET ANGEL1A1 OPERATING_SYSTEM=AIX_CAMBEX
Note: Although an IBM operating system entry exists in the CLI and SWCC, for the
Fibre Channel connection, use the default setting AIX_CAMBEX for operation with
your IBM host. The IBM setting may cause problems when LUNs are not available to
AIX or during controller failover.
23. Verify the changes:
HSG > SHOW CONNECTIONS
Mark or tag all Fibre Channel cables at both ends for ease of maintenance.
Repeating Procedure for Each Host Adapter Connection
24. Repeat steps 21, 22, and 23 for each of that adapter’s host connections or
delete the unwanted connections from the table.
25. For each host adapter, repeat steps 20 through 24.
