Resumen del manual
1 Host connectivity
This chapter provides host connectivity information and links to components you need to support your
operating system with an Enterprise Virtual Array storage system. It is important that you proceed in the
following order:
• Install the Fibre Channel adapter
• Download Fibre Channel adapter firmware
• Access IBM AIX utilities
• Use the Storage System Scripting utility
Installing the Fibre Channel adapter
Supported Fibre Channel adapters (FCAs) must be installed in the host server to communicate with
the Enterprise Virtual Array.
NOTE:
Traditionally, the adapter used to connect the host server to the fabric is called a host bus adapter (HBA).
The server HBA used with the EVA3000/5000 is called a Fibre Channel adapter (FCA). You may also
see the adapter referred to as a Fibre Channel host bus adapter (FC HBA) in other related documents.
Follow the hardware installation rules and conventions for your server type. The FCA is shipped with its
own documentation for installation. Refer to that documentation for complete instructions.
You need the following items to begin:
• FCA boards and the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer
• The server hardware manual for instructions on installing adapters
• Tools to service your server
• The FCA firmware (FW) is available from the Alpha SRM
FW update CD image, 6.8 or later. It is available online at
ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Alpha/firmware/index.html.
The FCA board plugs into a standard PCI slot in the host system. Refer to the hardware manual for
instructions on plugging in boards.
Downloading Fibre Channel adapter firmware
Supported FCAs must be installed in the host server to communicate with the EVA.
Since this is an IBM FCA, go to the IBM website to download the correct firmware at:
ht p://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/firmware/gjsn?mode=9&type=adapter.
Select the right FCA and follow the directions given there.
Accessing IBM AIX utilities
You can access IBM AIX utilities at the fol owing web site:
