Enterprise Virtual Array 3000 User Guide

The kit that contains the hardware documentation and ships with the storage
system. That is the box that this manual came in.

Host Information

Make a list of information for each host (computer) that will be accessing the
storage system. You will need the following information for each host:

The LAN name of the host

A list of World Wide Names of the Fibre Channel adapters, also called host
bus adapters, through which the host will connect to the fabric to access the
storage system

IP address of each host

Operating system type

Available LUN numbers

Entering Data Using the OCP

During installation of the storage system, two values are entered using the OCP on
one of the controllers:

WWN—Mandatory to complete setup.

Storage system password—An optional security measure, a password allows
only specific instances of the Command View EVA management agent to
access the storage system.

Setting Up the HSV100 Controllers Using the OCP

Fibre Channel protocol requires that each controller pair have a unique Node
WWN. A 16-character hexadecimal WWN is assigned to each storage system
prior to shipment.

Note:

A WWN is unique to a storage system and cannot be used for any other

storage system or device on the network. Once a WWN is assigned to a controller, you

cannot change the WWN while the controller is part of the same storage system. A

replacement controller will inherit the WWN assigned to the storage system.
