You must configure the operating system before you can use the HP 9000 and HP Integrity
servers with the Lenovo Storage V7000 system.
Before you configure
the host operating system, the following
tasks must be completed:
- Your Lenovo service representative installed the Lenovo Storage V7000 system.
- You must installed the appropriate host bus adapter (HBA) and driver on your host system.
After the
prerequisite tasks are complete, use the following
general steps to configure your host system:
- Zone the host system to the system on the Fibre Channel SAN.
- Install the appropriate multipathing driver for your host system 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, native multipathing solution is supported by the mass storage stack feature.
- The Lenovo 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 subsystem device driver (SDD) does not support the HP-UX 11.0
operating systems in a clustered-system environment.
- 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 system on Lenovo Storage V7000 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 system publications.
