You must configure the operating system before you can use the HP 9000 and HP Integrity
servers with the Storwize® V3700 system.
Before you begin
Before you configure
the host operating system, the following
tasks must be completed:
- Your IBM® service representative must install the Storwize V3700 system.
- You must install the appropriate host bus adapter (HBA) and driver on your host system.
About this task
After the
prerequisite tasks are complete, use the following
general steps to configure your host system:
Procedure
- Zone the host to the system on the Fibre Channel SAN.
- Install the appropriate multipathing driver for your host to enable the management of multiple
paths to system volumes.
Notes: - For HP-UX version 11.31, HP does not require installing a separate multipath driver. As part of
this version, the native multipathing solution is supported by the mass storage stack feature.
- The IBM
System Storage®
Multipath Subsystem Device
Driver (SDD) supports only the HP-UX 11iv1 and
HP-UX 11iv2 operating systems in a clustered-system environment. The SDD does not support the HP-UX 11.0
operating systems in a clustered-system environment.
- The SDD does not support an
HP-UX 32-bit mode operating environment.
- To have failover protection on an open system, SDD requires a minimum of two
Fibre Channel adapters. The maximum number of supported Fibre
Channel adapters is four, on a total of four Fibre Channel ports.
- Create the host on the system by using the worldwide port names (WWPNs).
Map the volumes to the host as necessary.
- Create volumes/disks on your host by using instructions in your host publications.
