Configuring an HSG80 Array Controller 2–3
Configuring an HSG80 Array Controller
You can use this procedure to configure your controller in one of the
following ways:
n Single controller
n Dual controllers (in transparent failover mode)
n Multiple-bus failover (host-assisted), dual-redundant controllers
References sited in the steps below will help you locate details about
the commands and concepts.
Use the following steps to configure an HSG80 array controller:
1. Use the power verification and addressing (PVA) module ID switch to
set the SCSI ID number for the BA370 rack-mountable enclosure.
See “Setting the PVA Module ID Switch,” page 2–6, for details about
PVA switch settings.
2. Remove the program card ESD cover, and insert the controller’s
program card. Replace the ESD cover.
3. Turn on the power to the pedestal enclosure.
4. Establish a local connection to the controller.
See “Establishing a Local Connection to the Controller,” page 2–7, for
details about creating a local connection.
5. Choose a configuration for the controller:
a. If you are configuring dual- redundant controllers in
transparent failover mode, proceed to step 9.
b. If you are configuring dual-redundant controllers in multiple-
bus (sometimes called host-assisted) failover mode, skip to
step 10.
6. If the controller reports a node ID of all zeros (0000-0000-0000-0000)
set the subsystem worldwide name (node ID) to the worldwide name
that came with your subsystem. Use the steps in “Restoring Worldwide
Names (Node IDs),” page 3–26.
7. Set the port topology for each port.
SET THIS_CONTROLLER PORT_1_TOPOLOGY= “topology ”
SET THIS_CONTROLLER PORT_2_TOPOLOGY=“ topology ”
