HP XP External Storage Software - Manual (Page 87)

NOTE:
The ports that can be set as external ports are only the ports serving LDEVs, belonging to CU group 0. If
the storage is partitioned by using Virtual Partition Manager, the ports that can be set as external ports
are only the ports serving LDEVS associated with CU group 0, and are allocated to SLPR 0 as well.
1. Select the Port Operation tab.
2. In the Port Operation list, select the port.
To set multiple ports at one time to External, select all the ports.
3. Right-click, and select Change to External.
In the Port Operation list, the selected port's attribute changes to External, and the selected port's
row appears in blue italics. Rows to be affected appear in the Preset list. To check setting details,
right-click the setting in the Preset list, and select Detail. To cancel settings, right-click the setting
in the Preset list, and select Delete.
4. Click Apply. A confirmation message appears.
5. 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.
6. 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 LUN Configuration
and Security Manager XP user guide for the XP12000/XP10000/SVS200.
7. Set the data transfer speed to Auto Negotiation.
NOTE:
When connecting to a TagmaStore AMS or TagmaStore WMS subsystem, use LUN Manager
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 External Storage XP to External, map the external LU as an internal
LDEV.
If you mapped the external LU and previously set the VMA of LUN Security XP Extension in that volume,
the former VMA setting is overwritten when you map the volume again. However, if LUN Security XP
Extension is not installed when you remap the volume, the volume with the VMA setting cannot be
mapped.
