IBM System Storage DS3000: Introduction and Implementation Guide
20.1 Preparing the environment
First we perform some initial setup - the infrastructure cabling and zoning, and DS3000 basic
configuration.
20.1.1 Cabling and zoning
3.5, “Host attachment” on page 36 shows some possible host attachments. In our sample
configuration we will use the recommended redundant attachment (Figure 3-9 on page 41). In
a BladeCenter environment this will look as already shown in Figure 19-2 on page 443.
Prepare the environment so that every SAN HBA port of each Blade can to see one controller
of your storage subsystem. How to create the zoning on the IBM FC switches is also already
shown in 19.1, “Cabling and zoning” on page 442.
20.1.2 Create logical drives and host mapping
After you have cabled and zoned your SAN, configure your DS3400 storage subsystem. This
includes the following steps:
Create a Host
(8.2.2, “Configure Host Access (Manual)” on page 145)
Add both HBAs (Ports) to the host
Create a logical drive(s) and map them to the host
(8.3.3, “Create Logical Drives” on page 161)
Create one or more logical drives and map them to the host after creating them.
The above sections describe how to do that using the GUI - you can also use a script.
Example 20-1 shows a CLI script which creates two logical drives and maps them to a host:
Example 20-1 Script - Create hosts - Logical drives and map them
show "Setting the Storage Subsystem user label to DS3400_Thailand.";
set storagesubsystem userLabel="DS3400_Thailand";
show "Create a host named PaSak";
create host userLabel="PaSak";
show "Add host ports to host";
create hostPort identifier="210000e08b849e87" userLabel="PaSak_Port0" host="PaSak"
hostType="Windows 2000/Server 2003 Non-Clustered";
create hostPort identifier="210100e08ba49e87" userLabel="PaSak_Port1" host="PaSak"
hostType="Windows 2000/Server 2003 Non-Clustered";
show allHostPorts;
show "Creating hot spare at Enclosure 0 Slot 1.";
set drive[0,1] hotSpare=true;
show "Creating RAID 1 Logical Drive PaSak_Raid1 on new Array 1.";
// This command creates the Array and the initial Logical Drive on that array.
// NOTE: For Arrays that use all available capacity, the last Logical Drive on
this array is
// created using all remaining capacity by comitting the capacity= logical drive
creation parameter.
