Figure 16: Device configuration on an SU x86 taking a disk storage system as an example
FibreChannel-connected BS2000 disks on an SU x86 must be configured at Storage(1),
Switch(2) and X2000(4) levels. No special configuration is necessary at Multipath(3) level.
However, it is necessary for Multipath to know the connected devices. For this purpose
Customer Support can scan the devices, if required. When an operational interruption is
acceptable, you can as an alternative reboot the Server Unit.
●
Storage level
The settings in the storage system should be made by a qualified technician.
●
FibreChannel switch
The zone is set in the FibreChannel switch.
●
X2000
Use the SE Manager to configure the disks of the storage system as BS2000 disks of
the SU x86. Customer Support must partition disks of the type D3475-8F up front. If
disks of the type D3475-8F are taken over from an SX server, they retain the Solaris
label (for reasons of compatibility).
