Fabric setup and zoning, Configuring with veritas volume manager – HP 6400.8400 Enterprise Virtual Array User Manual
Page 60
To perform LUN rediscovery after configuring the LUNs, use the following command:
/opt/QLogic_Corporation/drvutil/qla2300/qlreconfig –d qla2300 -s
8.
Reboot the server to implement the changes to the configuration files.
NOTE:
The qla2300 driver is not supported for Oracle StorEdge Traffic Manager/Sun Storage
Multipathing. To configure a QLogic FCA using the Oracle SAN driver stack, see
FCAs with the Oracle SAN driver stack” (page 56)
.
Fabric setup and zoning
To set up the fabric and zoning:
1.
Verify that the Fibre Channel cable is connected and firmly inserted at the array ports, host
ports, and SAN switch.
2.
Through the Telnet connection to the switch or Switch utilities, verify that the WWN of the
EVA ports and FCAs are present and online.
3.
Create a zone consisting of the WWNs of the EVA ports and FCAs, and then add the zone
to the active switch configuration.
4.
Enable and then save the new active switch configuration.
NOTE:
There are variations in the steps required to configure the switch between different
vendors. For more information, see the HP SAN Design Reference Guide, available for downloading
on the HP website:

Oracle StorEdge Traffic Manager (MPxIO)/Oracle Storage Multipathing
Oracle StorEdge Traffic Manager (MPxIO)/Sun Storage Multipathing can be used for FCAs
configured with the Oracle SAN driver depending on the operating system version, architecture
(SPARC/x86), and patch level installed. For configuration details, see the HP MPxIO application
notes, available on the HP support website:
.
NOTE:
MPxIO is included in the SPARC and x86 Oracle SAN driver. A separate installation of
MPxIO is not required.
In the Search products box, enter MPxIO, and then click the search symbol. Select the
application notes from the search results.
Configuring with Veritas Volume Manager
The Dynamic Multipathing (DMP) feature of Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) can be used for all
FCAs and all drivers. EVA disk arrays are certified for VxVM support. When you install FCAs,
ensure that the driver parameters are set correctly. Failure to do so can result in a loss of path
failover in DMP. For information about setting FCA parameters, see
Oracle SAN driver stack” (page 56)
and the FCA manufacturer’s instructions.
The DMP feature requires an Array Support Library (ASL) and an Array Policy Module (APM). The
ASL/APM enables Asymmetric Logical Unit Access (ALUA). LUNs are accessed through the primary
controller. After enablement, use the vxdisk list <device> command to determine the
primary and secondary paths. For VxVM 4.1 (MP1 or later), you must download the ASL/APM
from the Symantec/Veritas support site for installation on the host. This download and installation
is not required for VxVM 5.0 or later.
To download and install the ASL/APM from the Symantec/Veritas support website:
1.
Go to
2.
Enter Storage Foundation for UNIX/Linux in the Product Lookup box.
3.
Enter EVA in the Enter key words or phrase box, and then click the search symbol.
4.
To further narrow the search, select Solaris in the Platform box.
5.
Read TechNotes and follow the instructions to download and install the ASL/APM.
