9. Define alternate paths between the external array or mapped LU and the local array. For
instructions, see
Defining alternate paths .
10. Use XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software to define paths. For instructions,
see the HP XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager user guide: HP XP12000 Disk Array,
HP XP10000 Disk Array, HP 200 Storage Virtualization System.
Setting an external array's port
This section describes the procedure for setting the external array's port. For more information, see
the external array's documentation.
1.
Set the topology information for the connection configuration.
2. Set the data transfer speed for the configuration.
3. Set the system parameters. For more information about system parameters for specific external
arrays, see
Notes on connecting external arrays .
4. Define the port's LUN.
Setting a local array's port attributes
The attribute of any port used for XP External Storage must be set to External.
NOTE: The ports that can be set as external ports are only the ports serving LDEVs, belonging
to CU group 0. If the storage is partitioned by using XP Disk/Cache Partition Software, the ports
that can be set as external ports are only the ports serving LDEVS associated with CU group 0,
and are allocated to SLPR 0 as well.
1. Select the Port Operation tab.
2. In the Port Operation list, select the port.
To set multiple ports at one time to External, select all the ports.
3. Right-click, and select Change to External.
In the Port Operation list, the selected port's attribute changes to External, and the selected
port's row appears in blue italics. Rows to be affected appear in the Preset list. To check
setting details, right-click the setting in the Preset list, and select Detail. To cancel settings,
right-click the setting in the Preset list, and select Delete.
4. Click Apply. A confirmation message appears.
5. Click OK. The port attribute setting is applied to the local array, and the new setting appears
in the Port Operation list.
If an error occurs, the failed setting and an error code appears in the Preset list. To view error
messages, right-click the failed row, and select Detail.
6. Set the topology for the connection configuration.
When an FC switch is connected, set Fabric to Enable. When a switch is not connected, set
Fabric to Disable, and specify FC-AL. Set Connection according to the actual connection
configuration. For more information about setting the topology, see the HP XP LUN
Configuration and Security Manager user guide: HP XP12000 Disk Array, HP XP10000 Disk
Array, HP 200 Storage Virtualization System.
7. Set the data transfer speed to Auto Negotiation.
NOTE: When connecting to a TagmaStore AMS or TagmaStore WMS subsystem, use XP
LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software to set the data transfer speed of the
XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 external port you use to a fixed value other than Auto
Negotiation. Also, set the data transfer speed of the target port of the TagmaStore AMS or
TagmaStore WMS subsystem to the same fixed value according to the external port's data
transfer speed.
