When replacing an entireETERNUS DX60/DX80, ETERNUS2000, ETERNUS3000, ETERNUS4000, ETERNUS6000, ETERNUS8000, GR, LT160, LT250, LT270, Symmetrix, or Crossroads device, inherit the access paths by following procedure given below.
Point
Before executing the following procedures, read the notes in "8.3 Replacement of the Parts of Supported Device".
Match the hardware configuration definitions of the new device with those of the old device.
Set the new device with an IP address different from that of the old device, and register it with this software. If the new host cannot be set with a different IP address, delete all access paths from the old host before this software detects the new device, and set new device access paths.
Select [View] - [Refresh] from the menu.
Double-click the new device icon in the SAN view to display the view of the device.
Select [Operation] - [View Device] - [Add] to display the old device.
Without any icon selected, select [Operation] - [Access Path] - [Inherit] - [Mode Start]. The "Access Path Inheritance" dialog appears.
If the new adapter icon is dragged and dropped on the old adapter icon (drag&drop) in this state, the Check Access Path Inheritance dialog appears. Selecting <OK> button in this dialog executes access path inheritance. Inheritance processing deletes the access path settings created by the old adapter information from the related device and adds the access path settings created by the new adapter information to the device.
Device type | Settings by this software | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Solaris OS server node | Agent available | PW008FC2A, | Change of the setting associating fjpfca.conf TID with WWPN to WWPN of a new adapter |
LP-9000, | Change of the setting associating lpfc.conf or lpfs.conf TID and LUN with WWPN to WWPN of a new adapter | ||
HBA (other than the above cases) | No setting | ||
Agent unavailable | No setting | ||
Windows server node | Agent available/unavailable | No setting | |
Linux server node | Agent available/unavailable | No setting | |
HP-UX server node | Agent available/unavailable | No setting | |
Other server nodes | Agent unavailable | No setting | |
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 with 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 | ||
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 server node side must be restarted for server nodes that do not support hot system configuration change after a setup change.
On the server nodes that support hot system configuration change, it is necessary to execute commands that instruct the hot system configuration change for OS and HBA driver. For example, when the HBA driver is FUJITSU PCI Fibre Channel, the chgfcctl or clchgfc command must be executed.
