Setting Up the ETERNUS DX
2.1 Common Settings
This section explains the settings required for all server OSs, 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 FC Port Parameters)
For each connection configuration, set the indicated items only. Retain the default values for all of the pa-
rameters that are not described below.
•Specify "Fabric connection" for connections to the Fibre Channel switches.
•Specify "FC-AL connection" for direct connections to the Fibre Channel cards. Specify "Fabric connection" for
direct connections to 16Gbit/s Fibre Channel cards (maximum transfer rate) with a transfer rate of 16Gbit/s.

2.1.2 Creating the Server Accessible LUN Groups (Setting the LUN Groups)
Create LUN groups for the server to access. Refer to "Connectivity Management" in "ETERNUS Web GUI User's
Guide" for details, and set the LUN groups.
Depending on the OS version, the server may not recognize the ETERNUS DX unless a LUN group is as-
signed from LUN0. In this case, assign a LUN group starting from LUN0 in ascending order.
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.
•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 response after setting the access path using the ETERNUS SF Stor-
age Cruiser.
•Since "Windows EMPD", "Linux EMPD", "Solaris EMPD", or "Others" cannot be selected after applying the
latest firmware, select "Default" for the Host Response setting.
Note that these items are displayed as the existing setting, but do not need to be changed.

*1: 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 Ora-
cle-brand Driver" sections in "FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS DX Configuration Guide -Server Connection- (Fi-
bre Channel) for Oracle Solaris".
2.1.4 Setting the Host Response for the ETERNUS DX8000 S2 series using the ETER-
NUS Multipath Driver
For a configuration in which the ETERNUS Multipath Driver is used with the ETERNUS DX8000 S2 series, using
the TPG Referrals function is recommended to improve the performance of the ETERNUS DX8000 S2 series.
A new host response needs to be added and configured to use the TPG Referrals function. The configuration
varies depending on the host response that is selected in "2.1.3 Setting the Host Responses" (page 10).

sponse Setting details
AIX EMPD Reservation Conflict Response for Test Unit Ready: Conflict
Host Specific Mode: AIX Mode
TPG Referrals: Enable
For the parameters that are not listed above, set the same value as the "Default" host
response.
Default TPG Referrals mode: Enable
For the parameters that are not listed above, set the value that is provided in "Recom-
mended Patterns of Host Responses" in the "Add Host Response" section of "ETERNUS
Web GUI User's Guide".
In addition, for the TPG Referrals function support status in the ETERNUS Multipath Driver, check the support
information for each Multipath Driver.
2.1.5 Setting the CA Port Groups
Create new FC port groups and register the ports as members of the groups. A FC port group is a group of FC-
CA type ports that are connected to the specified host group. Configure the host affinity setting for each FC
port group.
2.1.6 Registering the WWNs of the Accessing Fibre Channel Cards (Setting FC Host)
Register the WWN of each Fibre Channel card installed in the server that will access the ETERNUS DX. At the
same time, set the host response numbers registered in "2.1.3 Setting the Host Responses" (page 10) to ac-
cept these WWNs.
Registering the FC 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.

2.1.7 Allocating LUN Groups (Setting the Host Affinity)
Allocate the relationship between registered FC 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 ETERNUS DX
from each server.
Refer to "Connectivity (Basic Information)" in "ETERNUS Web GUI User's Guide" for details, and set the LUN
groups.
•When setting LUNs that are to be recognized for multiple ports in a multipath configuration or a cluster
configuration, create a LUN Group, and set this same LUN Group to all of the ports.
•If the one-to-one relationship between the WWNs and Fibre Channel cards cannot be determined, the
Host Affinity may not be set correctly. In this case, various settings may need to be tried until the server
is able to recognize the ETERNUS DX logical disks.
2.2 Specific Settings
The required settings vary according to the OS and the connection configuration.
Check the various cases described below, and perform any required settings.
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.
2.2.2 Setting the Subsystem Parameters
2.2.2.1 Load Balance (for HP-UX Only)
For HP-UX connection, select "Disable" for "Load Balance" in the "Setup Subsystem Parameters" function. 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.
2.2.2.2 Reject INQUIRY from Unauthorized Host
Only when using the VERITAS Volume Manager Dynamic Multipathing (VxVM DMP) function, select "Enable".

DX to the server.
