About this guide
1 Host connectivity This chapter provides host connectivity information and links to components you need to support your operating system with an Enterprise Virtual Array storage system.
fcmsutil /dev/td# vpd (A6795A only) This command returns the Vital Product Data, which includes the currently loaded EFI and PA_Risc (excluding A6795A) on the FCA. 3. Determine the recommended and minimum firmware versions by visiting the following website: http://www.software.hp.com 4. In the Search field, enter the product number of the FCA (for example, A6826A). 5. This takes you to a web page that displays the acceptable firmware versions. The firmware is a free download, if needed.
2 Testing connections to the EVA3000/5000 This chapter describes how to test connections between the host server and the EVA3000/5000. Adding a host name with port WWPNs A host name and its FCA WWPN must be added to the array before assigning a virtual LUN.
NOTE: If it is the first time the virtual disk LUN is presented to the host, you may need to restart the host to rescan for newly presented virtual disks. Sample output from a rescan The following is a sample output from an ioscan command:# ioscan -fnCdisk Class I H/W Patch Driver S/W State H/W Type Description ================================================================ disk 00/0/1/0/.1.1 sdisk CLAIMED /dev/dsk/c0tld0 disk 10/0/2/0.6.0 sdisk CLAIMED /dev/dsk/c1t6d0 disk 20/0/2/1.6.
Configuring virtual disks from the host server After you create and verify the virtual disks on the EVA3000/5000, and then rescan or restart the host server, you must configure the new disk resources. See your host server documentation for instructions on configuring disk resources. The operating system treats an HSV110 virtual disk much like a SCSI disk. Therefore, you can use Logical Volume Manager (LVM) commands pvcreate, vgcreate, and lvcreate to manually add the virtual disk LUN to the host.
