This software cannot set the "The access path must be inherited" state for an HBA if an HBA in another slot is replaced, for the HBA on the server node to which a manually embedded device is connected is replaced, or for an unsupported HBA that is replaced.
If an HBA in another slot is replaced, inherit the access paths by dragging the new HBA icon and dropping it on the old HBA icon (drag&drop). Execute the following procedure. However, if the device requires server node-side settings, the settings must be defined manually.
Refer to, "8.2.2 Replacing Faulty Parts and Faulty Device at Manually Embedded Device Failure" if the HBA on the server node to which a manually embedded device is connected is replaced, or an unsupported HBA is replaced.
Point
Before executing the following procedures, read the notes in "8.3 Replacement of the Parts of Supported Device".
Select [View] - [Refresh] from the menu.
Double-click the new device icon in the SAN view to display the view of the device.
Without any icon selected, select [Operation] - [Access Path] - [Inherit] - [Mode Start] from the menu. The "Access path Inheritance" dialog appears.
If the new HBA icon is dragged and dropped on the old HBA icon (drag&drop) in this state, the Check Access Path Inheritance dialog appears. Selecting <OK> button in this dialog executes access path inheritance. Based on the table shown below, this software deletes the access path settings created by the old HBA information from the related device and adds the access path settings created by the new HBA information to the device with inheritance processing. However, none is set for the host. Add storage affinity settings manually if they are required on the server node side.
Device type | Settings by this software | |
|---|---|---|
Fibre Channel switch | With zoning setting | Deletion of the one-to-one WWPN zoning created with the WWPN of the old adapter, and setting of the one-to-one WWPN zoning created by the WWPN of a new adapter (but no setting of an access path if port zoning does not require access path inheritance) |
Without zoning setting | No setting | |
ETERNUS DX60/DX80 | Security setting | Deletion of the old WWPN and setting of a new WWPN for the HBA in the security setting. |
Host affinity (zone) setting | Deletion of the old WWPN of the HBA from the security setting, and setting of a new WWPN in the affinity group (zone). | |
Without security setting | No setting | |
Other storage/tapes/bridges | No setting | |
Using drag&drop operations, you can inherit the access paths for several adapters until you select <End> button in the "Access path Inheritance" dialog.
The reboot of server node is required when storage is ETERNUS GR series, depending on the following firmware version.
Storage devices | Firmware version |
|---|---|
ETERNUS GR720 | before V11L21 |
ETERNUS GR740 | before V03L52P1939 |
