2.2 OS Specific Settings

Some settings are not required for some server OSes and/or connection configurations.Check the various cases described below, and perform any required settings.

2.2.1 Setting the Port Reset Groups

If the system configuration matches any of the "System configuration that requires the port resetgroup setting" in the following table, every ETERNUS Disk storage system FC port that connectsto the given server's access paths must be assigned to the same port reset group.For system configurations other than the following, use the default settings.

*1: When multiple ESX servers share ETERNUS Disk storage system LUNs, any ETERNUS Disk storagesystem FC port that connects a shared LUN to an ESX server must be assigned to the same portreset group, whether multi-paths are used for the ESX servers or not.

• If the one-to-one relationship between the WWNs and Fibre Channelcards or Converged Network Adapter cards cannot be determined, theHost Affinity Group settings may not be allocated correctly.In this case, try various settings until the server is able to recognize theETERNUS Disk storage system logical disks.

• When the server OS is HP-UX, AIX, Windows®, Linux, VMware ESX, orPAN Manager, assign SCSI LUN numbers starting from LUN0 inascending order. The server cannot recognize the ETERNUS Diskstorage system LUNs unless they are assigned in this order.This restriction does not apply when the server is running a Solaris OS.

Example: When multiple ESX servers share ETERNUS Disk storage system LUNs, CM#0 Port#1and CM#1 Port#1 must be assigned to the same port reset group, even for single-pathconfigurations.

2.2.2 Setting the Sub System Parameters (for HP-UX only)

For HP-UX connection, select the [Disable load balance] checkbox of the "Set Sub SystemParameters" screen. This prevents sense responses that require access retries from beingissued when the ETERNUS Disk storage system is in an overload state.

2.3 Checking the WWNs

Use ETERNUSmgr to check the WWN of each ETERNUS Disk storage system FC port. Theyare required to connect the ETERNUS Disk storage system to the server.
