If the device is registered in VxVM, SDS, or SVM, cancel the registration.

(2) Apply Solaris Patches

See 3.1.1 Hosts and OSs Supported by HDLM, and then apply any necessary patches

to the Solaris OS.

(3) Set Up the Hardware

For a Fibre Channel connection, check the topology (Fabric, AL, etc.) and perform

setup as appropriate.
To set up the hardware:
1.

Set up the storage system.
For details on how to set up the storage system, see the HDLM Release Notes that

come with HDLM and the maintenance documentation for the storage system.
HDLM cannot manage command devices used by Hitachi CCI.
Use the Hitachi CCI functionality to configure any command device used by

Hitachi CCI so that it is in a redundant configuration.

2.

Set up the switches.
For details on how to set up a switch, refer to the switch documentation. This

setup is not necessary if no switch is being used.

3.

Set up the HBA.
For details on how to set up an HBA, see the HDLM Release Notes, and the HBA

documentation.
