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.

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 StorageWorks 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.

Discovering and Mapping LUs

After setting the port used for XP External Storage to External, map the external LU as an internal
LDEV.

If you mapped the external LU and previously set the VMA of XP LUN Security Extension in that volume,
the former VMA setting is overwritten when you map the volume again. However, if XP LUN Security
Extension is not installed when you remap the volume, the volume with the VMA setting cannot be
mapped.

Following are the operations related to mapping:

Mapping external LUs individually (Add LU)
Mapping multiple external LUs at one time (Add LU (Auto))
Displaying detailed information stored in VMA (VMA information)

Mapping external LUs individually (Add LU)

This section describes mapping operations starting with the Add LU command. Use the Add LU (

Figure

42

), Select Paths (

Figure 43

), SSID (

Figure 46

), and Set SSID (

Figure 47

) panes for mapping external

LUs individually.

NOTE:

Before mapping the external LU, ensure that no other applications (such as XP RAID Manager) that
use the command device are executing. Stop any applications that are executing.
