HP StorageWorks HSG80 Enterprise/Modular Storage RAID Array Fibre Channel Solution Software V8.7A for Novell NetWare Release Notes

Host Operating System Notes
27Release Notes – HSG80 Enterprise/Modular Storage RAID Array Fibre Channel Solution
Software Version 8.7A for Novell NetWare
These commands instruct the array controllers to flush all unwritten data from the
cache modules and discontinue all I/O activity. For more information regarding the
SHUTDOWN controller command, see the HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.7 CLI
Reference Guide. For information on maintenance and replacement of the array
controller, cache module, and external cache battery, see the HSG80 Array Controller
ACS Version 8.7 Maintenance and Service Guide.
Unit Offsets
Setting unit offsets requires a bus rescan (scan for devices) and deletion of any
hardware paths still showing
NO_HW status from the prior connection offsets for the
newly set offsets to take effect.
Establishing an SWCC SCSI Connection
SWCC is not supported when Secure Path is installed on the servers and/or if more
than one FCA2210 HBA is installed in the system. For SWCC to connect to an array,
a LUN must be configured using CLI commands. StorageWorks recommends that
LUN 0 or LUN 100 not be used. In certain instances, if LUN 0 is used, LUNs with IDs
greater than D50 or D150 will not be recognized.
NOTE: In transparent failover mode, LUN D100 should not be used.
Host Operating System Notes
The following section lists host-specific operating notes.
Host Operating System Support of Multi-Bus Failover
Multi-bus failover is supported on the Novell NetWare operating system through the
use of Secure Path software. See "Secure Path Software", page 19, for version
compatibility and restrictions.
Virtual Disk Wizard in Multi-Bus Failover Mode
When creating a virtual disk using the SWCC Virtual Disk Wizard, in Step 4 of that
process, the default value for host access is “none.” You must change this value to one
of the host names provided; otherwise, the virtual disk you have just added will be
inaccessible.
NOTE: Virtual Disk Wizard in multi-bus failover mode is not supported with the Secure Path
driver.
