Chapter 2
Setting Up the ETERNUS DX
2.1 Common Settings
This section explains the settings required for all server OSes, regardless of the connection configuration.
See the "ETERNUS Web GUI User's Guide" for details of how to set up and operate ETERNUS Web GUI.
2.1.1 Setting the To-server Connection Type (Setting the FCoE Port Parameters)
For each connection configuration, set the indicated items only. All other parameters should be left on their
default values.
Table 2.1 FCoE port parameter settings
Parameter Solaris OS, Windows®, Linux, VMware ESX
Transfer Rate 10 Gbit/s
Frame Size 2048 bytes (Default value)
Reset Scope I_T_L
Release Reservation if Chip is Reset Disable
Make sure to prepare and set up FCoE switches. For further details, refer to "Fabric OS Administrator’s
Guide Supporting Fabric OS".
2.1.2 Creating the Server Accessible LUN Groups (Setting the LUN Groups)
Create LUN groups (Affinity Group) for the server to access. Refer to "Connectivity Management" in "ETERNUS
Web GUI User's Guide" for details, and set the LUN groups.
When the server OS is Windows®, Linux, or VMware ESX, assign LUN Group values starting from LUN0 in
ascending order. The server cannot recognize the ETERNUS DX LUNs unless they are assigned in this order.
This restriction does not apply when the server is running a Solaris OS.

2.1.3 Setting the Host Responses
The host response parameters for the ETERNUS DX must be set to match the way the server processes the
responses to requests from the ETERNUS DX. Setting of the host response must be done before connecting
the ETERNUS DX to the server.
Set the parameters that are described below for each OS.
Retain the default values for all of the parameters that are not described below.
Table 2.2 Host response settings
OS Conditions Host response selection
Solaris When using the OS standard Multipath Driver
(MPxIO)
Solaris MPxIO
Other cases Default
Windows®
Linux
VMware ESX
– Default
2.1.4 Setting the CA Port Groups
Create new FCoE port groups and register the ports as members of the groups. A port group is a group of
ports that access the same LUN group (ports that are used for multipath connection to the server or for con-
necting to the cluster configuring server). Configure the host affinity setting for each FCoE port group.
2.1.5 Registering the WWNs of the Accessing Converged Network Adapter Cards
(Setting FCoE Host)
Register the WWN of each Converged Network Adapter card installed in the server that will access the ETER-
NUS DX. At the same time, set the host response registered in "2.1.3 Setting the Host Responses" (page 9) to
accept these FCoE hosts (WWNs).
Registering the FCoE host WWNs and setting up Host Affinities as described elsewhere, allows limits to be set
on which servers are allowed to access which ETERNUS DX LUNs.
When a server-side Converged Network Adapter card is replaced, the WWN of the replacement Converged
Network Adapter card must be re-registered to the ETERNUS DX.

2.1.6 Allocating LUN Groups (Setting the Host Affinity)
Allocate the relationship between registered FCoE hosts (WWN), CA port groups, and LUN groups using the
Host Affinity setting function to specify which LUNs to be accessed. This sets access restrictions to the ETER-
NUS DX from each server.
Refer to "Connectivity Management" in "ETERNUS Web GUI User's Guide" for details, and set the LUN groups.
If the one-to-one relationship between the WWNs and Converged Network Adapter cards cannot be deter-
mined, the Host Affinity may not be set correctly.
In this case, trying various settings may be necessary until the server is able to recognize the ETERNUS DX
logical disks.
2.2 Specific Settings
Specific settings for the OS and connection configuration are not required.
2.2.1 Setting the CA Reset Groups
Because all of the ports are configured to be members of one CA reset group in the initial setting, the reset
group settings do not need to be changed.
2.3 Checking the WWNs
Use ETERNUS Web GUI to check the WWN of each ETERNUS DX. They are required for connecting the ETERNUS
DX to the server.
