Preface
This manual briefly explains the operations that need to be performed by the user in order to connect an
ETERNUS DX to a server running Solaris OS, HP-UX, AIX, Windows®, Linux, VMware ESX, Egenera BladeFrame,
Citrix® XenServer®, Oracle Linux, or Oracle VM Server via a Fibre Channel interface.
This manual should be used in conjunction with any other applicable user manuals, such as those for the
ETERNUS DX, server, OS, Fibre Channel Card, Converged Network Adapter cards, and drivers.
Refer to "FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS DX Configuration Guide -Server Connection- Notations" for the notations
used in this manual such as product trademarks and product names. For storage systems that are supported
by the OS, refer to the Server Support Matrix of the ETERNUS DX.

Guide -Server Connection- (Fibre Channel) Fibre Channel Switch Settings", "Converged Enhanced Ethernet
Administrator's Guide", or "Fabric OS Administrator's Guide".
2.1.2 Sense Data Conversion (Setting the Host Responses)
The ETERNUS DX sense data conversion must be set to match the way in which the server will process the
ETERNUS DX request responses.
Set the parameters according to the conditions that are described in Table 2.5.
Retain the default values for all of the parameters that are not described below. If multiple conditions apply,
set the parameters so that all of these conditions are met.
When setting the access path using the ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser, the host responses for FC host will be
set to default values. Set the host responses after setting the access path using the ETERNUS SF Storage
Cruiser.

*1: •For details on the firmware versions that support the Multipath Diagnostic Program, refer to "Multi-
path Diagnostic Program User's Guide".
•An Oracle-brand Fibre Channel card driver may be used for Fujitsu Fibre Channel cards. To confirm
which driver should be used, check the "Notes" and "Fibre Channel Cards that Require an Oracle-brand
Driver" sections in "FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS DX Configuration Guide -Server Connection- (Fibre Chan-
nel) for Oracle Solaris".
*2: Use of a PowerHA/HACMP cluster configuration only affects the setting for single path configurations
with FJspio.
*3: When connecting a Windows®-based VMware VCB Proxy server to the ETERNUS DX, and the LUNs are
shared between the VMware VCB Proxy server and VMware ESX server, the settings detailed in the
"VMware ESX" row of Table 2.5 should be used.
2.1.3 Registering the WWNs of the Accessing Fibre Channel Cards or Converged Net-
work Adapter Cards (Setting FC Host)
Register the WWN of each Fibre Channel card or Converged Network Adapter card installed in the server that
will access the ETERNUS DX. At the same time, set the host response registered in "2.1.2 Sense Data Conver-
sion (Setting the Host Responses)" (page 9) to accept these FC hosts (WWNs).
Registering the FC host WWNs and setting up LUN mappings (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 Fibre Channel card or Converged Network Adapter card is replaced, the WWN of the
replacement Fibre Channel card or Converged Network Adapter card must be re-registered to the ETERNUS
DX.

2.1.4 Creating and Allocating LUN Groups (Setting Host Affinity Groups)
Create a LUN group (Affinity Group) for the server to access.
Allocate the relationship between registered FC hosts (WWN) and Affinity groups using the Host Affinity set-
ting function to specify which LUNs to be accessed. This sets access restrictions to the ETERNUS DX from each
server.
•If the one-to-one relationship between the WWNs and Fibre Channel cards or Converged Network Adapt-
er cards cannot be determined, the LUN mapping 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.
•Depending on the OS version, the server may not recognize the ETERNUS DX unless an affinity group is
assigned from LUN0. In this case, assign an affinity group starting from LUN0 in ascending order.

2.2 Specific Settings
Some settings are not required for some OSes and/or connection configurations.
Check the various cases described below, and perform any required settings.
2.2.1 Setting the Reset Groups
If the system configuration matches any of the items "System configuration that requires the reset group set-
ting" in the following table, every ETERNUS DX port that connects to the given server's access paths must be
assigned to the same reset group.
For system configurations other than the following, use the default settings.
OS System configuration that requires the reset group setting
Solaris OS Cluster configuration
AIX Single path configuration using FJspio for a PowerHA or HACMP cluster
Windows Server® 2003 MSCS configuration (*1)
VMware vSphere (ESXi 5.5, ESXi 5.1, ES-
Xi 5.0, ESX 4.1, ESXi 4.1, ESX 4.0, ESXi
4.0)
VMware Infrastructure 3 (ESX 3.5, ESXi
3.5)
Multipath configuration
or
Multiple ESX servers share ETERNUS DX LUNs (*2)
*1: For a Windows Server® 2012 R2, Windows Server® 2012, Windows Server® 2008 R2, or Windows Server®
2008 based WSFC configuration, the reset group settings are not necessary.

*2: When multiple ESX servers share ETERNUS DX LUNs, any ETERNUS DX CA port that connects a shared
LUN to an ESX server must be assigned to the same reset group, whether multi-paths are used for the
ESX servers or not.
Example: When multiple ESX servers share ETERNUS DX LUNs, CM#0 CA#0 Port#1 and CM#1 CA#0 Port#1
must be assigned to the same reset group, even for single-path configurations.
Server#1 Server#2
LAN switch#1 LAN switch#2
HBA#1 HBA#1
Affinity-Group
CM#0
Port#1
CM#1
Port#1
2.2.2 Setting the Subsystem Parameters (for HP-UX only)
Disable the [Load Balance] parameter in "Set Subsystem Parameters" screen. This prevents sense responses
that require access retries from being issued when the ETERNUS DX is overloaded.
For HP-UX server, improper logs may be recorded unless sense response is restricted. Therefore, "Load Bal-
ance" should be disabled. (Sense response should be restricted.)
Note that changing the "Load Balance" setting has no affect on non-HP-UX servers.
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.
