Enabling disk device ports

When the storage system detects certain device errors on a loop pair, the device ports are automatically disabled and the operational state is changed.

Considerations

You must be logged in as a storage administrator.

Procedure

To locate disabled ports and enable them:

1.Select Administrator Options > Configure Controller Device Ports

2.Select a controller and review the operational state of each loop pair.

3.If the Enable Port Pair button is displayed, correct the problem (outside of this application).

4.Return to this application and click the Enable Port Pair button.

Locating the storage system WWN label

1.Open the storage system door and remove the bezel from the controller enclosure.

2.The WWN label is below the serial number label on the left side.

3.Replace the bezel.

Reestablishing the storage system IP address

This topic addresses the rare cases, such as following an uninitialization or the replacement of certain components, when the HP P6000 Control Panel may become unavailable. If browsing to the HP P6000 Control Panel fails after these events, you may have to reestablish the IP address. See also Connecting to the HP P6000 management module (initial setup).

Considerations

You cannot save changes in the HP P6000 management module configuration if the HP P6000 EVA storage system is not running or has not been initialized. See Initialization and uninitialization.

You can connect to the HP P6000 management module through a private or public network. See Private and public networks.

IMPORTANT: HP recommends that you connect the HP P6000 management module through a private network, or configure it behind a firewall or proxy server.

The following procedures include a step to reset the HP P6000 management module.
