7 Quick Start List
The following are directions for creating a simple HAFO environment using an XP512.
1. Create a LUN in the storage array that is accessible from 2 different array ports. In this example we will
configure this LUN as MPE/iX Ldev 90.
2. Connect the appropriate fiber cables between the storage array and server's HBAs.
a. If the SCSI-FC Fabric Router is part of the connection solution, follow the connection procedures
described in the SCSI-FC Router's User and Configuration Guide.
3. If an FC Switch is part of the connection solution, insert it between the storage array's FC port and the
server's FC HBA (or to the router if it is in use).
a. If you are using a Fabric Router configure a "Single Initiator Zone" for the port that the router is
attached to. The "Single Initiator Zone" will eliminate "cross talk" between the routers in the event
that Lun Security is active.
(Cross talk between routers with Lun Security active will cause the routers to hang)
b. If routers are used, clear the router maps and power up the routers and verify that they "see" the
LUNs from the XP512 (See Router documentation). All the LUNs in the router should show ACTIVE.
If INACTIVE, then investigate why.
4. Boot the HP e3000 to ISL> and verify with ODE that the LUNs are visible to the HP e3000 "Native FC"
devices require use of the MPE/iX "FCSCAN" utility (see 6).
5. ISL>Start norecovery and logon to the system.
6. Run SYSGEN and, using the paths from MAPPER or FCSCAN –h, add Ldevs for the new LUNs. In this
example, add the example device: io; ad 90 path=0/36.0.0 id=HPDARRAY. Hold; exit; Keep; exit. Then
reboot the system. Alternately, you may use IOCONFIG to avoid the reboot.
7. Skip this step if the volume set is already created.
Run Volutil and set up the volume set with NEWSET and volumes with NEWVOL. then VSCLOSE the
volume set and then VSOPEN it. If you are adding to the system volume set, you must issue the
NEWVOL command and then do a Shut Down and reboot of the system.
8. Run SYSGEN, type io then HAutil in SYSGEN and add the Ldev that will be protected by HAFO. We will
again use Ldev 90 as the example. Add the device with AD command; HA> AD 90 0/36.0.0 0/28. The
primary path is 0/36 and its alternate path is 0/28. Then Hold it; and then Keep it.
9. Return to the HAutil menu within SYSGEN and issue the DOHA command. This command will verify and
validate the configuration. Then keep your work with the Hold command, EXIT command, Keep and
EXIT commands.
10. Shutdown and reboot the HP e3000 so that HAFO can validate the newly created volume sets. If volume
sets ever need to be scratched and a new set created, then a reboot will be required to refresh HAFO's
information that is used to validate that different paths point to a single unique volume set.
11. Verify HAFO validation as system comes back up (DOHA prints out to the system console during boot)
and validate that the HASTAT output agrees with the validation done at the reboot.
