32 Planning to Install and Configure Pathlight VX
Gathering Configuration Information for FC Host Parameters
In Table 23, record the settings used to define the FC Host parameters for each Virtual Library created in
the Pathlight VX.
• Virtual Library Name is the virtual library being mapped to the FC Host.
• For the FC Blade for Host column, specify the FC blade that is mapped to the particular FC Host.
• For a Pathlight VX-450 or a Pathlight VX-650 (Entry-Level Configuration), the valid value is: FC
Blade 1.
• For a Pathlight VX-650 (Standard Configuration or High-Performance Configuration), valid
values are: FC Blade 1 and FC Blade 2.
• For the Host Name column (the name of the FC Host), valid values are any alphanumeric
characters that identify the FC Host at the customer site.
• Type refers to the available Operating Systems running on the host, valid values: AIX, AS400,
Gateway, Generic, HP-UX, Linux, Netware, NT, Solaris, Switch, Unisys, or unknown.
• WWN represents the system-generated address of the FC Host.
• Configure LUN Mapping refers to the method to map virtual libraries to the FC Hosts. This value
should be the result of a discussion with the customer. The Pathlight VX allows you to either
manually map each device to a LUN, or it can automatically map each device to a LUN. When
automatically assigning LUNs, the Pathlight VX allows you to assign LUNs sequentially, even
numbers or odd numbers only. For a Pathlight VX with a dual-FC blade configuration, ADIC
recommends mapping one blade with even numbers and the other blade with odd numbers. Valid
values are: Manual, Sequential, Even or Odd.
•The Device column identifies the device type, where valid values are either the Pathlight VX
Controller, a virtual library, or virtual drives 1 - 40.
• LUN refers to a unique identification number. Specify a number for each device. Value values are
integers from 0 to 127, or select None of this device should not be presented to the host.
After the Pathlight VX is installed, you can specify most of this information through either the Pathlight VX
Service Interface or the Pathlight VX User Interface.
You can either configure or modify the Host Name and Type settings, and configure the LUN settings. The
field names for the Pathlight VX Interface are identical to the headings of Table 23
.
Note
If configuring the LUNs manually, please specify each individual device and its
corresponding LUN in Table 23
.
