Resetting the storage system World Wide Name

Each HP P6000 EVA storage system is assigned a unique WWN when it is manufactured. In rare cases, such as after uninitialization or replacement of certain components, you may need to reenter its WWN and checksum.

Considerations

You must be logged in as a storage administrator.

To perform the procedure, you will need to locate the WWN label on the front of the storage system. See Locating the WWN label.

Licenses for storage system features are tied to the storage system WWN.

CAUTION: Failure to enter the correct WWN can result in a loss of licensed features.

Procedure

To reset the World Wide Name:

1.Locate and record the WWN and checksum.

2.Select Administrator Options > View Detailed System Information > Set WWID

3.Follow the instructions on the page.

Setting the automatic loop recovery policy

A policy controls whether the storage system automatically attempts to recover from loop pair errors. The policy can be enabled or disabled.

Considerations

You must be logged in as a storage administrator.

Procedure

To set or view the policy:

1.Select Administrator Options > Configure Controller Device Ports.

2.Select a controller. The policy appears in the Automatic Loop Recovery box.

3.If necessary, change the policy and click the Save Changes button.
