|
| Installing Additional | The EMC ControlCenter Navisphere Host Agent should be used to |
| |||||
| Navisphere Host | automatically register host connections with the array. PowerPath |
| |||||
| Agent Software | and ATF require different registration types and the Navisphere Host |
| |||||
|
| Agent is the preferred method over manual registrations. |
| |||||
|
| You should install the Navisphere Host Agent software to ensure the |
| |||||
|
| HBA connections are all registered correctly. For instructions on how |
| |||||
|
| to perform this operation refer to the EMC ControlCenter Navisphere |
| |||||
|
| Host Agent software documentation for your array type. |
| |||||
|
| After the host agent has started and registered the new HBA paths, |
| |||||
|
| you should refresh the host connections in the storage group to |
| |||||
|
| ensure all available paths are assigned. To do this: |
| |||||
|
| 1. Shut down the host. |
| |||||
|
| 2. Remove the host from the storage group. |
| |||||
|
| 3. |
| Apply the change. |
| |||
|
| 4. Add the host back into the storage group. |
| |||||
|
| 5. |
| Restart the host. |
| |||
|
| 6. Check the array connectivity status to ensure all connections you |
| |||||
|
|
|
| require are active. |
| |||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Configuring | To take advantage of the |
| |||||
| Additional Boot Port | BIOS, you must configure additional Boot Port Name entries in the |
| |||||
| Name Entries in the | BIOS for any additional SP ports from which you want the BIOS to |
| |||||
| Boot BIOS | attempt to boot during system startup. Depending on the failover |
| |||||
|
| software installed, follow the appropriate steps: |
| |||||
|
| 1. |
| Reboot the host |
