Fibre-channel
attachment
requirements
for
HP-UX
hosts
This
section
lists
the
requirements
for
attaching
the
storage
unit
to
your
HP-UX
host
system:
v
Check
the
LUN
limitations
for
your
host
system.
v
Ensure
that
you
can
reference
the
documentation
for
your
host
system
and
the
IBM
TotalStorage
DS6000
Information
Center
that
is
integrated
with
the
IBM
TotalStorage
DS
Storage
Manager.
v
See
the
Interoperability
Matrix
at
http://www.ibm.com/servers/storage/disk/ds6000/interop.html
for
details
about
the
release
level
for
your
operating
system,
open-systems
hosts,
adapters
and
switches
that
IBM
supports.
Either
you
or
an
IBM
service
support
representative
(SSR)
must
perform
the
following
tasks
to
install
and
configure
a
storage
unit:
1.
Install
the
storage
unit
by
using
the
procedures
in
the
IBM
TotalStorage
DS6000
Installation,
Troubleshooting,
and
Recovery
Guide
.
2.
Define
the
fibre-channel
host
system
with
the
worldwide
port
name
identifiers.
For
the
list
of
worldwide
port
names,
see
“Locating
the
worldwide
port
name
(WWPN),”
on
page
211.
3.
Define
the
fibre-port
configuration
if
you
did
not
do
it
when
you
installed
the
storage
unit
or
fibre-channel
adapters.
4.
Configure
the
host
system
for
the
storage
unit
by
using
the
instructions
in
your
host
system
publications.
Note:
To
have
failover
protection
on
an
open
system,
SDD
requires
at
lease
2
paths,
and
SDD
allows
a
maximum
of
32
paths.
