5-6 Chapter 5 Configuring Storage Systems and Logical Paths
Hitachi Universal Replicator for IBM /OS User’s Guide
WARNING: Before changing a Fibre Channel port to an initiator port, disconnect
the port from the host, release all affected data volume pairs, delete all logical
paths from the initiator port to the remote storage system, and then remove
all channel paths to the port.
WARNING: Before changing a Fibre Channel port from initiator to target or RCU
target, delete all affected data volume pairs, release all logical paths from the
initiator port to the remote storage system, and then disconnect the local
storage system and the remote storage system.
Caution: Limit the number of hosts connected to a target port to 128 or fewer to
avoid mistaken disconnection. If more than 128 hosts are connected to a
target port, some hosts may be disconnected after changing the type from
target to RCU target.
Note: The port assigned to SLPR other than SLPR0 can be set to the Target port
attribute only.
To configure attributes of Fibre Channel ports, follow the procedure below.
Both the primary storage system administrator and the secondary storage
system administrator must perform this operation:
1. Ensure that the Storage Navigator main window is in Modify mode.
For detailed information about how to do this, please refer to Storage
Navigator User’s Guide.
2. Ensure that the DKC Operation window is displayed.
3. In Display, select Port.
The tree displays channel adapters in the local storage system and port
attributes.
4. Do either of the following:
– Select a channel adapter from the tree.
– Select a port attribute (i.e., target, RCU target or initiator) from the
tree.
5. Select and right-click the port that you want to configure.
6. From the pop-up menu, select the desired port type (i.e., initiator, RCU
target, or target).
The rightmost column of the list displays "Modified" to indicate that you are
modifying the attribute of the port.
The Preview list displays the changes that you have made (Note that
these changes are not applied to the storage system yet).
7. See the Preview list to check the settings that you have made.
– If you want to change the attribute of a port, select and right-click the
port from the upper-right list and then select the new attribute.
– If you want to cancel a change in the attribute of a port, select and
right-click the port in the Preview list and then select Cancel.
