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 high-availability features of the HBA boot

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

When the QLogic BIOS banner (shown below) appears, press

 

 

 

 

 

CTRL–Q.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Different HBA models may display different banners. Be sure to select

 

 

 

 

 

CTRL-Qfor the HBA you wish to configure.
