Fibre Channel interface  
The XP family of disk arrays supports these Fibre Channel elements:  
• Connection speed of 1 Gbps and 2 Gbps  
• Short-wave non-OFC (open fiber control) optical interface  
• Multimode optical cables with SC or LC connectors  
• Public or private arbitrated loop (FC-AL) or direct fabric attach  
• Fibre Channel switches  
Even though the interface is Fibre Channel, this guide uses the term “SCSI  
disk” because disk array devices are defined to the host as SCSI disks.  
Installation  
17  
                             
Device emulation types  
The XP family of disk arrays supports these device emulation types:  
OPEN-K/3/8/9/E devices: OPEN-x logical units represent disk  
devices. Except for OPEN-V, these devices are based on fixed  
sizes. OPEN-V is a user-defined size. Supported emulations  
include OPEN-3, OPEN-8, OPEN-9, OPEN-E, OPEN-L, and  
OPEN-V devices.  
LUSE devices (OPEN-x*n): Logical Unit Size Expansion (LUSE)  
devices combine 2 to 36 OPEN-x devices to create expanded  
LDEVs larger than standard OPEN-K/3/8/9/E disk devices. For  
example, an OPEN-x LUSE volume created from ten OPEN-x  
volumes is designated as OPEN-x*10.  
CVS devices (OPEN-x CVS): Volume Size Configuration (VSC)  
defines custom volumes (CVS) that are smaller than normal  
fixed-sized logical disk devices (volumes). (OPEN-V is a  
CVS-based custom disk size that you determine. OPEN-L does not  
support CVS.)  
LUSE (expanded) CVS devices (OPEN-x*n CVS): LUSE CVS  
combines CVS devices to create an expanded device. This is done  
by first creating CVS custom-sized devices and then using LUSE  
to combine from 2 to 36 CVS devices. For example, if three  
OPEN-9 CVS volumes are combined to create an expanded device,  
this device is designated as OPEN-9*3-CVS.  
Failover  
The XP family of disk arrays supports many standard software products  
that provide host, application, or I/O path failover and management.  
The following are supported for HP-UX:  
• HP Multi-Computer/ServiceGuard (MC/ServiceGuard) software for  
application failover  
• Logical volume management (included in HP-UX)  
18  
HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP Operating System Configuration Guide: HP-UX  
       
SNMP configuration  
The XP family of disk arrays supports standard Simple Network  
Management Protocol (SNMP) for remotely managing the disk array. The  
SNMP agent on the SVP performs error-reporting operations requested by  
the SNMP manager. SNMP properties are usually set from the SVP but  
they can also be set remotely using Remote Web Console XP, Command  
View XP, or Command View XP Advanced Edition. Refer to the  
applicable user’s guide for procedures.  
RAID Manager command devices  
RAID Manager manages Business Copy (BC) or Continuous Access (CA)  
operations from a host server. To use RAID Manager with BC or CA, you  
use Remote Web Console, Command View, or Command View XP  
Advanced Edition to designate at least one LDEV as a command device.  
Refer to the applicable user’s guide for information about how to designate  
a command device.

Install and configure the disk array  
The HP service representative performs these tasks:  
• Assembling hardware and installing software  
• Loading the microcode updates  
• Installing the channel adapters (CHAs) and cabling  
• Installing and formatting devices  
After these tasks are finished, you will use Remote Web Console,  
Command View, Command View XP Advanced Edition, or LUN  
Configuration and Security Manager to complete the remaining tasks listed  
below. If you do not have these programs, your HP service representative  
can perform these tasks for you.  
Setting the host mode for the disk array ports  
The disk array ports have host modes that must be set depending on the  
host you use. After the disk array is installed use LUN Manager in Remote  
Web Console XP (shown), Command View XP, or Command View XP  
Advanced Edition to set the host mode for each port. The host mode setting  
for HP-UX is 08.  
Installation  
21  
         
For the XP1024/XP128 arrays, the host mode can also be set at the port  
information window in Command View XP AE.

Installation  
23  
   
Configuring the Fibre Channel ports  
Configure the disk array Fibre Channel ports by using Remote Web  
Console (shown), Command View, or Command View XP AE. Select the  
settings for each port based on your storage area network topology. Use  
switch zoning if you connect different types of hosts to the array through  
the same switch.  
Fibre Address  
In fabric environments, the port addresses are assigned automatically. In  
arbitrated loop environments, set the port addresses by selecting a unique  
arbitrated loop physical address (AL-PA) or loop ID for each port.  
24  
HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP Operating System Configuration Guide: HP-UX  
     
Fabric and Connection parameter settings  
Set each array port to FABRIC ON or OFF with connections of  
POINT-TO-POINT or FC-AL as shown in the following table and figures.

Install and configure the host  
This section explains how to install and configure the host and host bus  
adapters (HBAs) that connect the host to the disk array.  
Loading the OS and software  
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to load the operating system and  
software onto the host. Load all OS patches and configuration utilities  
supported by HP and the HBA manufacturer.  
Installing and configuring the HBAs  
Install and configure the host bus adapters using the HBA manufacturer’s  
instructions.  
26  
HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP Operating System Configuration Guide: HP-UX  
           
Clustering and fabric zoning  
If you plan to use clustering, install and configure the clustering software  
on the servers.  
Clustering is the organization of multiple servers into groups. Within a  
cluster, each server is a node. Multiple clusters compose a multi-cluster  
environment. The following example shows a multi-cluster environment  
with three clusters, each containing two nodes. The nodes share access to  
the disk array.  
Within the Storage Area Network (SAN), the clusters may be  
homogeneous (all the same operating system) or they may be  
heterogeneous (mixed operating systems). How you configure LUN  
Security and fabric zoning depends on the operating system mix and the  
SAN configuration.  
Installation  
27  
   
Fabric zoning and LUN security for multiple operating systems  
You can connect multiple clusters of various operating systems to the same  
switch and fabric using appropriate zoning and LUN security as follows:  
• Host zones must contain only homogeneous operating systems.  
• Storage port zones may overlap if more than one operating system  
needs to share an array port.  
• Heterogeneous operating systems may share an XP array port if you  
use Secure Manager and set the appropriate host group and mode.  
All others must connect to a dedicated XP array port.  
• Use Secure Manager for LUN isolation when multiple hosts connect  
through a shared array port. Secure Manager provides LUN  
security by allowing you to restrict which LUNs each host can  
access.

HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP Operating System Configuration Guide: HP-UX  
     
Connect the disk array  
The HP service representative connects the disk array to the host by:  
1. Verifying operational status of the disk array channel adapters, LDEVs,  
and paths.  
2. Connecting the Fibre Channel cables between the disk array and the  
fabric switch or host.  
3. Verifying the ready status of the disk array and peripherals.  
Defining the paths  
Use Remote Web Console (shown), Command View, or Command View  
XP AE to define paths (LUNs) between hosts and volumes in the disk  
array.  
This process is also called “LUN mapping.” In Remote Web Console and  
Command View, LUN mapping includes:  
Configuring ports  
Setting LUN security  
Creating host groups  
Assigning host bus adapter WWNs to host groups  
Mapping volumes to host groups (by assigning LUNs)  
Installation  
29  
       
In Command View XP AE, LUN mapping includes:  
Configuring ports  
Creating storage groups  
Mapping volumes and WWN/host access permissions to the  
storage groups  
For details see LUN Configuration and Security Manager User’s Guide or  
Command View XP Advanced Edition Device Manager Web Client User’s  
Guide. Note the LUNS and their ports, WWNs, nicknames, and LDEVs for  
later use in verifying host and device configuration.

HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP Operating System Configuration Guide: HP-UX  
 
Verifying HBA installation  
After configuring the ports on the disk array, verify that the HBAs are  
installed properly.  
Use the ioscan –f command, and verify that the rows shown in the example  
are displayed. If these rows are not displayed, check the host adapter  
installation (hardware and driver installation) or the host configuration.

Verifying device recognition  
Verify that the HP-UX system recognizes the new devices on the disk  
array.  
If the SCSI paths were defined after the system is powered on, you must  
halt and restart the system to allow the system to recognize the new  
devices.  
To verify device recognition:  
1. Log in to the system as root.  
2. Display the device data to verify that the system recognizes the newly  
installed devices on the disk array. Use the ioscan –fn command to  
display the device data.  
On a system with a large LUN configuration, HP-UX may not build  
device files on all LUNs. Enter insf –e to build all missing device files.

3. Enter the device data for each disk array device in a table. See “Path  
worksheet” on page 62.  
4. Construct the device file name for each device, using the device  
information, and enter the file names in your table. Use the following  
formula to construct the device file name:  
cxtydz  
where  
x = SCSI bus instance number  
y = SCSI target ID  
z = LUN  
c stands for controller, t stands for target ID, and d stands for device.  
The numbers x, y, and z are hexadecimal.

5. Verify that the SCSI TIDs correspond to the assigned port address for  
all connected ports (see mapping tables on page 63 in Appendix B, for  
values). If so, the logical devices are recognized properly.  
If the logical devices are not recognized properly:  
• Check the AL-PA for each port using the LUN Manager software.

The HP-UX system uses the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) to manage  
the OPEN-x devices on the disk array. The instructions in this section do  
not explicitly cover all LVM configuration issues. For further information  
on LVM configuration, see the HP-UX user documentation.  
HP System Administrator Manager (SAM) can be used instead of UNIX  
commands to configure SCSI disk devices. See appendix C (page 73) for  
further information.  
Installation

Verifying the device files and drivers  
The device files for new devices are usually created automatically during  
HP-UX startup. Each device must have a block-type device file in the  
/dev/dsk directory and a character-type device file in the /dev/rdsk  
directory.  
However, some HP-compatible systems do not create the device files  
automatically. If verification shows that the device files were not created,  
follow the instructions in “Creating the device files” (page 38) to create the  
device files manually.  
This procedure verifies both types of device files.  
To verify that the device files for the disk array devices were created:  
1. Display the block-type device files in the /dev/dsk directory using the  
ls –l command with the output piped to more. Verify there is one  
block-type device file for each disk array device.  
# ls –l /dev/dsk | more  
Total 0  
Example  
brw-r - - - - - 1 bin sys 28 0x006000 Dec 6 15:08  
c6t0d0  
brw-r - - - - - 1 bin sys 280 0x06100 Dec 6 15:08  
c6t0d1  
2. Verify that the block-type device file name for each device is correct.  
3. Display the character-type device files in the /dev/rdsk directory using  
the ls –l command with the output piped to more. Verify that there is  
one character-type device file for each disk array device.

HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP Operating System Configuration Guide: HP-UX  
   
# ls –l /dev/rdsk | more

c6t0d1  
4. Use the device data table you created to verify that the character-type  
device file name for each device is correct.  
This task can also be accomplished with the lssf command.  
5. After verifying the block-type and character-type device files, verify the  
HP-UX driver for the disk array using the ioscan –fn command.

Creating the device files  
If the device files were not created automatically when the system was  
restarted, use the insf –e command in the /dev directory to create the device  
files. After this command is executed, repeat the procedures in the previous  
section (page 36) to verify new device recognition and the device files and  
driver.  
# insf -e  
Example  
insf: Installing special files for mux2 instance 0

#
Failure of the insf –e command indicates a SAN problem.  
If the device files for the new disk array devices cannot be created  
automatically, you must create the device files manually using the mknod  
command as follows:  
1. Retrieve the device information you recorded earlier.  
2. Construct the device file name for each device, using the device  
information, and enter the file names in your table. Use the following  
formula to construct the device file name:  
cxtydz  
where  
x = SCSI bus instance number  
y = SCSI target ID  
z = LUN  
c stands for controller, t stands for target ID, and d stands for device.  
The numbers x, y, and z are hexadecimal.  
38  
HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP Operating System Configuration Guide: HP-UX  
   
3. Construct the minor number for each device, using the device  
information, and enter the file names in your table. Use the following  
formula to construct the minor number:  
0xxxyz00  
where  
xx = SCSI bus instance number  
y = SCSI target ID  
z = LUN  
4. Display the driver information for the system using the lsdev command.  
# lsdev

now have all required device and driver information in the table.  
6. Create the device files for all disk array devices (SCSI disk and  
multiplatform devices) using the mknod command. Create the  
block-type device files in the /dev/dsk directory and the character-type  
device files in the /dev/rdsk directory.  
# cd /dev/dskGo to /dev/dsk directory.  
# mknod /dev/dsk/c2t6d0 b 31 0x026000  
Create block-type file.

Creating the physical volumes  
A physical volume must be created for each new SCSI disk device.  
To create the physical volumes:  
1. Use the pvcreate command to create the physical volumes with the  
character-type device file as the argument. Specify the /dev/rdsk  
directory.  
# pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c6t0d0  
Example  
Physical volume "/dev/rdsk/c6t0d0" has been  
successfully created.  
:
# pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c6t0d1  
Physical volume "/dev/rdsk/c6t0d1" has been  
Do not use the –f option with the pvcreate command. This option  
creates a new physical volume forcibly and overwrites the existing  
volume. If you accidentally enter the character-type device file for an  
existing volume, you will lose the data on that volume.  
2. Repeat step 1 for each OPEN-x device on the disk array.  
Installation  
41  
     
Creating new volume groups  
You must create new volume groups for the new physical volumes. If  
desired, you can also add any of the volumes on the disk array to existing  
volume groups using the vgextend command. The physical volumes that  
make up one volume group can be located either in the same disk array or  
in other disk arrays.  
To allow more volume groups to be created, use SAM to modify the  
HP-UX system kernel configuration. See appendix C (page 73) for details.  
To create volume groups:  
1. Use the vgdisplay command to display the existing volume groups.  
2. Choose a unique name for the new volume group (for example: vg06).  
3. Create the directory for the new volume group.  
# mkdir /dev/vg06  
Example  
Example  
4. Use the ls –l command (with the output piped to grep to display only  
the files containing “group”) to display the minor numbers for the  
existing group files.  
# ls –1 /dev/vg* | grep group  
crw-rw-rw 1 root root 64 0x0000000 Nov7 08:13  
group  
:
5. Chooseauniqueminornumberforthenewgroupfilein sequential order  
(for example, when existing volume groups are vg00-vg05 and the next  
group name is vg06, use minor number 06 for the vg06 group file).  
The minor numbers are hexadecimal (for example, the 10th minor  
number is 0x0a0000).  
6. Use mknod to create the group file for the new directory. Specify the  
volume group name, major number, and minor number. The major  
42  
HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP Operating System Configuration Guide: HP-UX  
   
Example  
In this example: group name = vg06, major number of group file = 64,  
minor number of existing group file = 06 (which must be unique for  
each volume group), and c = character.  
# mknod /dev/vg06/group c 64 0x060000  
:
7. Create the volume group.  
To allocate more than one physical volume to the new volume group,  
add the other physical volumes, separated by a space.  
# vgcreate /dev/vg06 /dev/dsk/c6t0d0  
Example  
Volume group "/dev/vg06" has been successfully  
created.  
saved in /etc/1vmconf/vg06.conf.  
For Logical Unit Size Expansion (LUSE) volumes that contain more  
than 17 OPEN-8/9 LDEVs or more than 7043 MB  
(OPEN-8/9*n-CVS), use the –s and –e physical extent (PE)  
parameters of the vgcreate command. See “LUSE device parameters”  
(page 68).  
If you need to delete a volume group, use the vgremove command (for  
example, vgremove /dev/vgnn). If the vgremove command does not  
work because the volume group is not active, use the vgexport  
command (for example, vgexport /dev/vgnn).  
8. Use the vgdisplay command to verify that the new directory was  
created.  
9. Use vgdisplay –v to verify that the volume group was created correctly.  
The –v option displays the detailed volume group information.

Creating logical volumes  
Use these commands for logical volume configuration:  
lvremove  
Deletes a logical volume.  
Any file system attached to the logical volume must be  
unmounted before executing the lvremove command.  
Example: lvremove /dev/vgnn/lvolx  
lvextend  
lvreduce  
Increases the size of an existing logical volume.  
Example: lvextend –L size /dev/vgnn/lvolx  
Decreases the size of an existing logical volume.  
Any file system attached to the logical volume must be  
unmounted before executing the lvreduce command.  
Example: lvreduce –L size /dev/vgnn/lvolx  
Caution Data within the file system can be lost after execution of lvreduce.  
Create logical volumes after you create volume groups. A logical volume  
must be created for each new SCSI disk device  
To create logical volumes:  
1. Use the lvcreate –L command to create a logical volume.  
Specify the volume size (in megabytes) and the volume group for the  
new logical volume. HP-UX assigns the logical volume numbers  
automatically (lvol1, lvol2, lvol3). Use the following capacity values  
for the size parameter:  
OPEN-K = 1740  
OPEN-3 = 2344  
OPEN-8 = 7004  
OPEN-9 = 7004  
OPEN-E = 13888  
Installation  
45  
     
OPEN-L = 34756  
OPEN-V = 61432  
To calculate S1 for CVS, LUSE, and CVS LUSE volumes, first use  
the vgdisplay command to display the physical extent size (PE Size)  
and usable number of physical extents (Free PE) for the volume.  
Calculate the maximum size value (in MB) as follows:  
S1 = (PE Size) × (Free PE)  
Logical volumes can span multiple physical volumes. Use the  
diskinfo command for extended LUNs.  
Example  
Create an OPEN-3 logical volume the size of the physical volume,  
using 2344 for the size parameter. An OPEN-9 volume uses 7040 for  
the size parameter to create a logical volume the size of the physical  
volume.  
# lvcreate –L 2344 /dev/vg06  
Logical volume "/dev/vg06/lvol1" has been  
successfully created with character device  
"/dev/vg06/rlvol1".  
Logical volume "/dev/vg06/lvol1" has been  
successfully extended.  
Volume Group configuration for /dev/vg06 has been  
saved in /etc/1vmconf/vg06.cof.  
2. Use the lvdisplay command to verify that the logical volume was  
created correctly.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each logical volume to be created.  
You can create only one logical volume at a time. However, you can  
verify multiple logical volumes at a time.  
Creating the file systems  
Create the file system for each new logical volume on the disk array. The  
default file system types are:  
• HP-UX OS version 10.20 = hfs or vxfs, depending on entry in the  
/etc/defaults/fs file  
• HP-UX OS version 11.0 = vxfs  
• HP-UX OS version 11.i = vxfs  
To create file systems:  
1. Use the newfs command to create the file system using the logical  
volume as the argument.  
Installation

Setting the I/O timeout parameter  
Set the I/O timeout value for each disk device to 30 seconds.  
To change the I/O timeout parameter:  
1. Verify the current I/O timeout value using the pvdisplay command:  
# pvdisplay /dev/dsk/c0t6d0  
Example  
This causes current values to be displayed:

pvchange -t command:  
# pvchange -t 30 /dev/dsk/c0t6d0  
Example  
This result is displayed:  
Physical volume "/dev/dsk/c0t6d0" has been  
successfully changed.  
Volume Group configuration for /dev/vg06 has been  
saved in /etc/lvmconf/vg06.cof  
3. Verify that the new I/O timeout value is 30 seconds using the pvdisplay  
command:  
# pvdisplay /dev/dsk/c0t6d0

4. Repeat the above steps for each new disk that is connected to the system.  
Creating the mount directories  
Create a mount directory for each logical volume. Choose a unique name  
for each mount directory that identifies the logical volume.  
Example The following example shows the root directory as the location for the  
mount directories.  
To create a mount directory for each logical volume:  
1. Usemkdirwith the new mount directory name astheargument tocreate  
the mount directory.  
# mkdir /AHPMD-LU00  
2. Use the ls –x command to verify the new mount directory.  
# ls -x  
AHPMD-LU00 bin  
dev  
device etc  
export

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each logical volume on the disk array.  
50  
HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP Operating System Configuration Guide: HP-UX  
       
Mounting and verifying the file systems  
After the mount directories have been created, mount and verify the file  
system for each logical volume.  
To mount and verify the file systems:  
1. Use mount to mount the file system for the volume.  
# mount /dev/vg06/lvol1 /AHPMD-LU00  
Example  
Example  
2. Repeat step 1 for each logical volume on the disk array.  
If you need to unmount a file system, use the unmount command.  
3. Use the bdf command to verify that the file systems are correct. The  
capacity is listed under Kbytes.  
# bdf

4. As a final verification, perform some basic UNIX operations (for  
example file creation, copying, and deletion) on each logical device to  
make sure that the devices on the disk array are fully operational.  
#cd /AHPMD-LU00  
Example  
#cp /bin/vi /AHPMD-LU00/vi.back1

Setting and verifying the auto-mount parameters  
Set up and verify the auto-mount parameters for each new volume. The  
/etc/checklist file (which can also be called the /etc/fstab file) contains the  
auto-mount parameters for the logical volumes.  
To set up and verify the auto-mount parameters:  
1. Edit the /etc/checklist (/etc/fstab) file to add a line for each  
OPEN-x device on the disk array. This example and the following table  
show the auto-mount parameters.

*Capacity = (512 x number of blocks) ÷ 10242  
Disk array device emulations  
65  
     
Note 1: The availability of a disk type depends on the disk array.  
Note 2: The devices are defined to the host as SCSI disk devices, even though the  
interface is Fibre Channel.  
Note 3: The device capacity can sometimes be changed by the BIOS or host adapter  
board. This may make actual capacity different from that listed in the table.  
Note 4: The number of blocks for a CVS volume is calculated as follows:  
# of blocks = (# of cylinders) × (# of heads) × (# of sectors per track)  
Example 1: For an OPEN-3 CVS volume with capacity = 37 MB:  
# of blocks = (53 cylinders–see Note 5) × (15 heads) × (96 sectors per  
track) = 76320  
Example 2: For an OPEN-V CVS volume with capacity = 49 MB:  
# of blocks = (53 cylinders–see Note 5) × (15 heads) × (128 sectors per  
track) = 101760  
Note 5: The number of cylinders for a CVS volume is calculated as follows (↑  
means that the value should be rounded up to the next integer):  
OPEN-3/8/9/E: The number of cylinders for a CVS volume =  
# of cylinders = (capacity (MB) specified by user) × 1024/720 ↑  
Example: For an OPEN-3 CVS volume with capacity = 37 MB:  
# of cylinders = 37 × 1024/720= 52.62(rounded up to next integer) =  
53 cylinders  
OPEN-V: The number of cylinders for a CVS volume =  
# of cylinders = (capacity (MB) specified by user) × 16/15 ↑  
Example: For an OPEN-V CVS volume with capacity = 49 MB:  
# of cylinders = 49 × 16/15= 52.26(rounded up to next integer) = 53  
cylinders  
OPEN-3/8/9/E: The number of cylinders for a CVS LUSE volume =  
# of cylinders = (capacity (MB) specified by user) × 1024/720 ↑ × n  
66  
HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP Operating System Configuration Guide: HP-UX  
Example: For a CVS LUSE volume with capacity = 37 MB and n = 4  
# of cylinders = 37 × 1024/720↑ × 4 = 52.62↑× 4 = 53 × 4 = 212  
OPEN-V: The number of cylinders for a CVS LUSE volume =  
# of cylinders = (capacity (MB) specified by user) × 16/15 ↑ × n  
Example: For an OPEN-V CVS LUSE volume with capacity = 49 MB and  
n = 4  
# of cylinders = 49 × 16/15↑ × 4 = 52.26↑× 4 = 53 × 4 = 212  
Note 6: The capacity of an OPEN-3/8/9/E CVS volume is specified in MB, not  
number of cylinders. The capacity of an OPEN-V CVS volume can be  
specified in MB or number of cylinders. You set the volume size using the  
Remote Web Console, Command View or Command View Advanced  
Edition software.

SCSI TID map for Fibre Channel adapters  
When an arbitrated loop (AL) is established or reestablished, the port  
addresses are assigned automatically to prevent duplicate TIDs. With the  
SCSI over Fibre Channel protocol (FCP), there is no longer a need for  
target IDs in the traditional sense.  
SCSI is a bus-oriented protocol requiring each device to have a unique  
address since all commands go to all devices. For Fibre Channel, the  
AL-PA is used instead of the TID to direct packets to the desired  
destination.  
Unlike traditional SCSI, when control of the loop is acquired, a  
point-to-point connection is established from initiator to target. To enable  
transparent use of FCP, the operating system maps a TID to each AL-PA.  
The host maps SCSI protocol to Fibre Channel protocol and detects and  
accesses Fibre Channel-connected devices using device files  
(/dev/dsk/c*t*d* and /dev/rdsk/c*t*d*) in the same way as for  
SCSI-connected devices. The device files for Fibre Channel-connected  
devices are configured in a different way from SCSI-connected devices,  
because Fibre Channel supports 126 addresses per path while SCSI  
supports 16 TIDs per path.  
The following table identifies the fixed mappings between the TID (drive)  
values assigned by the operating system and the Fibre Channel native  
addresses (AL_PA/SEL_ID) for Fibre Channel adapters. The controller  
number (the dks value in /dev/dsk/dks*d*l*s*) depends on the server  
configuration, and a different value is assigned per each column.  
Disk array device emulations  
71  
   
The mapping cannot be done when these conditions exist:  
• disk array devices and other types of devices are connected in the  
same loop  
• information for unused devices remains in the server system  
• multiple ports participate in the same arbitrated loop

Reference information for SAM  
The HP System Administrator Manager (SAM) is used to perform HP-UX  
system administration functions, including:  
• setting up users and groups  
• configuring the disks and file systems  
• performing auditing and security activities  
• editing the system kernel configuration  
This appendix provides instructions for:  
• using SAM to configure the disk devices  
• using SAM to set the maximum number of volume groups  
Reference information for SAM  
73  
       
Configuring the devices using SAM  
The SAM Areas window displays the system administration functions and  
allows you to select the desired function. The Disks and File Systems  
function allows you to configure new disk devices for LVM operations.  
To configure the newly installed SCSI disk devices:  
1. Select Disks and File Systems, then select Disk Devices.  
74  
HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP Operating System Configuration Guide: HP-UX  
   
2. Verify that the new disk array devices are displayed in the Disk Devices  
window.  
3. Select the device to configure, select the Actions menu, select Add, and  
then select Using the Logical Volume Manager.  
4. In the Add a Disk Using LVM window, select Create... or Extend a  
Volume Group.  
5. In the Create a Volume Group window, enter the name of the new or  
existing volume group to assign the new device to, and then click OK  
twice. The Add a Disk Using LVM window now displays the volume  
group name.  
6. Select Add New Logical Volume to open the Create New Logical  
Volumes window.  
7. In the Create New Logical Volumes window, enter the name, size in  
megabytes, and mount directory for the new logical volume. Select  
Add, and then click OK twice.  
8. Repeat steps 3 through 7 for each new disk device on the disk array.  
Reference information for SAM  
75  
   
Setting the maximum number of volume groups  
using SAM  
The HP-UX kernel specifies the maximum number of volume groups that  
can be created. The default is 10. You may need to change this number to  
accommodate new devices on the disk array. To change this number, use  
the Kernel Configuration function.  
To change the maximum number of volume groups:  
1. Select the Kernel Configuration function, then select Configurable  
Parameters.  
2. In the Configurable Parameters window, select the maxvgs  
parameter, select the Actions menu, and then select Modify  
Configurable Parameter.  
3. In the Modify Configurable Parameter window, enter the desired  
maximum number of volume groups in the Formula/Value field, and  
then click OK.  
4. In the Configurable Parameters window, make sure that none of the  
parameters are selected. Then select the Actions menu, and select  
Create New Kernel.  
5. When the configuration window opens, click Yes to create the new  
kernel (or click No to return to the Configurable Parameters window.)  
6. When the Reboot the System window opens, click OK to move the  
new kernel into place and reboot the system.

duplicate copies of local logical volumes on a remote disk array.  
Command View  
(CVXP)  
HP StorageWorks Command View XP, a software product for managing XP  
arrays. Command View runs on a Windows-based management workstation.  
Command View XP  
Advanced Edition  
(CVXP AE)  
HP StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced Edition, installs on the  
user-provided Device Manager server and provides a browser-based  
platform from which you can manage the XP family of disk arrays—even  
globally distributed arrays.  
command device  
CU  
A volume on the disk array that accepts Continuous Access or Business Copy  
control operations which are then executed by the disk array.  
Control Unit. Contains LDEVs and is approximately equivalent to SCSI  
Target ID.

CVS  
Custom volume size. CVS devices (OPEN-x CVS) are custom volumes  
configured using array management software to be smaller than normal  
fixed-size OPEN system volumes. Synonymous with volume size  
customization (VSC).  
DKC  
The array cabinet that houses the channel adapters and service processor  
(SVP).  
(disk controller unit)  
DKU  
The array cabinets that house the disk array physical disks.  
(disk cabinet unit)  
emulation modes  
The logical devices (LDEVs) associated with each RAID group are assigned  
an emulation mode that makes them operate like OPEN system disk drives.  
The emulation mode determines the size of an LDEV:  
OPEN-3: 2.46 GB  
OPEN-8: 7.38 GB  
OPEN-9: 7.42 GB  
OPEN-E: 13.56 GB  
OPEN-L: 36 GB  
OPEN-V: User-defined custom size  
failover  
Disconnecting a failed unit or path and replacing it with an alternative unit  
or path in order to continue functioning.  
FC  
Fibre Channel.  
FC-AL  
FCP  
Fibre Channel arbitrated loop.  
Fibre Channel Protocol.  
Gigabytes  
GB  
HBA  
Host bus adapter.  
host mode  
Each port can be configured for a particular host type. These modes are  
represented as two-digit hexadecimal numbers. For example, host mode 08

LDEV  
LUN  
Logicaldevice. AnLDEViscreatedwhenaRAIDgroupiscarvedintopieces  
according to the selected host emulation mode (that is, OPEN-3, OPEN-8,  
OPEN-L). The number of resulting LDEVs depends on the selected  
emulation mode. The term LDEV is often used synonymously with the term  
volume.  
Logical unit number. A LUN results from mapping a SCSI logical unit  
number, port ID, and LDEV ID to a RAID group. The size of the LUN is  
determined by the emulation mode of the LDEV and the number of LDEVs  
associated with the LUN. For example, a LUN associated with two OPEN-  
3 LDEVs has a size of 4,693 MB.  
LUSE  
A LUN is normally associated with only a single LDEV. The LUSE feature  
allows a LUN to be associated with 1 to 36 LDEVs. Essentially, LUSE makes  
it possible for applications to access a single large pool of storage. The LUSE  
feature is available when the HP StorageWorks LUN Configuration Manager  
product is installed.  
OFC  
Open Fibre Control.  
OPEN-x  
A general term describing any one of the supported OPEN emulation  
modes (for example, OPEN-L).  
OS  
Operating system.  
Physical address.  
PA  
path  
“Path” and “LUN” are synonymous. Paths are created by associating a port,  
a target, and a LUN ID with one or more LDEVs.  
port  
A physical connection that allows data to pass between a host and the disk  
array. The number of ports on an XP disk array depends on the number of  
supported I/O slots and the number of ports available per I/O adapter. The  
XP family of disk arrays supports Fibre Channel (FC) ports as well as other  
port types. Ports are named by port group and port letter, such as CL1-A.  
CL1 is the group, and A is the port letter.  
RAID  
Redundant array of independent disks.  
remote console PC  
The PC running HP StorageWorks Remote Control XP.

SNMP  
SVP  
Simple Network Management Protocol.  
Service processor, which is the PC built into the disk controller. The SVP  
provides a direct interface into the disk array. SVP use is reserved for HP  
support representatives only.  
TB  
Terabyte.  
Target ID.  
TID  
Volume  
On the XP array, a volume is a uniquely identified virtual storage device  
composed of a control unit (CU) component and a logical device (LDEV)  
component separated by a colon. For example 00:00 and 01:00 are two  
uniquely identified volumes; one is identified as CU = 00 and LDEV = 00,  
and the other as CU = 01 and LDEV = 00; they are two unique separate virtual  
storage devices within the XP array.  
VSC  
Volume size customization. Synonymous with CVS.  
WWN  
World Wide Name. A unique identifier assigned to a Fibre Channel device.
