Command Console V2.5 User Guide

Using an Initial Configuration

Your storage subsystem may not be configured when you first install it so there
may be no virtual disks for Command Console to use. You cannot configure
virtual disks because you cannot establish a connection. The CCL allows you to
establish the first connection.

Before you run SWCC, enable the CCL.

Note:

If you are using SWCC with a SCSI-2 connection with an Agent running on

Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows Server 2003, you must disable the CCL

and create a virtual disk.

Preserving Virtual Disk IDs

In some operating systems, you may disable the CCL to preserve virtual disk IDs.
On Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003 systems with
SCSI-2, the LUN appears as a drive letter that you can use only for this purpose.
In this case, you must use the controller’s CLI window to configure at least one
virtual disk for communication before you run Command Console.

Safely Disabling the CCL

To disable the CCL while the Command Console is connected, you need to have
at least one virtual disk remaining on your subsystem. Then, exit the Client and
stop running the Agent. Disable the CCL from the CLI window. Reconfigure the
Agent and the Client to use the remaining virtual disk for communications.
