You can connect the array to open-system server hosts on different platforms (for example, UNIX and
PC servers). To configure a system that includes open-system hosts and an array, you must use XP
LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software to configure logical volumes and ports.
One of the important tasks with logical volume configuration is to define I/O paths from hosts to
logical volumes. If paths are defined, hosts can send commands and data to logical volumes and
receive data from logical volumes.
After the system begins operating, you might need to modify the system configuration. For example,
if you add hosts or disks, you must add I/O paths. Even when the system is operating, you can use
XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software to modify the system configuration. You do
not need to reboot the system when changing the system configuration.
NOTE:
Throughout this user guide, logical volumes are sometimes referred to as logical devices (LDEVs).
NOTE:
The functions described in this manual may be limited, depending on your assigned level of user
access. Some users will have read-only access while others will have limited or full array access. For
additional information on users and user groups, see the
HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console
user guide for XP12000/XP10000 Disk Arrays and SVS 200.
