Console LUN ID and OS unit ID
HP P6000 Command View software contains a box for the Console LUN ID on the Initialized
Storage System Properties window.
It is important that you set the Console LUN ID to a number other than zero (0). If the Console LUN
ID is not set or is set to zero (0), the OpenVMS host will not recognize the controller pair. The
Console LUN ID for a controller pair must be unique within the SAN.
shows
an example of the Console LUN ID.
You can set the OS unit ID on the Virtual Disk Properties window. The default setting is 0, which
disables the ID field. To enable the ID field, you must specify a value between 1 and 32767,
ensuring that the number you enter is unique within the SAN. An OS Unit ID greater than 9999
is not capable of being served by MSCP.
CAUTION:
It is possible to enter a duplicate Console LUN ID or OS unit ID number. You must
ensure that you enter a Console LUN ID and OS Unit ID that is not already in use. A duplicate
Console LUN ID or OS Unit ID can allow the OpenVMS host to corrupt data due to confusion about
LUN identity. It can also prevent the host from recognizing the controllers.

2.
Use the following procedure from the server console:
a.
From the EFI boot Manager, select EFI Shell.
b.
In the EFI Shell, enter “Shell> drivers”.
A list of EFI drivers loaded in the system is displayed.
3.
In the listing, find the line for the FCA for which you want to get the WWN information.
For a Qlogic HBA, look for HP 4 Gb Fibre Channel Driver or HP 2 Gb Fibre
Channel Driver
as the driver name. For example:
T D
D Y C I
R P F A
V VERSION E G G #D #C DRIVER NAME IMAGE NAME

4.
Note the driver handle in the first column (22 in the example).
5.
Using the driver handle, enter the drvdfg driver_handle command to find the Device
