HSG80 ACS Solution Software V8.6 for SGI IRIX Installation and Configuration Guide

Preparing the Host System 3–7

Once the StorageWorks software has been installed, logical units may be created on the

RAID Array and configured into the system. These logical units can be created using the

SWCC Client or the CLI. In order to utilize Client to create logical units, Agent must first

be installed on the host SGI system. Chapter 4 contains details about Agent, and Appendix

B contains details about Client. Once the Agent and Client have been installed, the

following sections will guide you through the remaining steps in the configuration and

initialization process.

Host Device Initialization

New logical units created on the RAID Array with SWCC or the CLI must be initialized

and partitioned before they can be utilized by the Host operating system. The logical unit

will be recognized by the operating system after the logical unit has been created and the

system restarted. The following steps outline the process.

1. Using the CLI or the SWCC Client, create the logical units on the RAID Array.

2. Restart Irix according to the established local system administration procedures.

3. Once the bootstrap process has completed, log in to the system as the superuser (root).

4. Verify that host has located and configured the new RAID Array devices into the

operating system with the command:

# hinv -v
