In the configuration in Figure 44 (page 147), you can identify the logical volumes referring to Characteristic2 in the XP External Storage windows. The first 32 characters of Characteristic2 indicate the World Wide LUN Name that can be found on the EVA storage system side. You can identify the logical volume of the EVA storage system by this World Wide LUN Name.

Behavior of the Alternate Path

When an EVA storage system is connected, the behavior of the alternate path differs depending on the microcode version of the EVA storage system.

If the subsystem system type is EVA3000/5000, the behavior of the alternate path differs between the EVA storage system of the microcode version 4.000 or later and the EVA storage systems of the earlier microcode versions.

To replace the microcode of the EVA storage system, check whether the behavior of the alternate path changes as a result of changing the microcode version. If the behavior of the alternate path changes, perform the Delete Volume operation of XP External Storage to release the setting of mapping the EVA storage system volume before you actually replace the microcode.

See the EVA storage system manuals for how the behavior of the alternate path changes.

Sun StorEdge 6120/6320

When connecting a Sun StorEdge 6120/6320 as an external storage system, set the system parameters of the Sun StorEdge 6120/6320 according to Table 49 (page 147). For the system parameters that are not in Table 49 (page 147), see the documentation for the Sun StorEdge 6120/6320 and set the parameters appropriately for the connecting configuration.

Sun StorageTek FlexLine 380

When you connect a Sun StorageTek FlexLine 380 as an external storage system, set the system parameters of the Sun StorageTek FlexLine 380 according to Table 50 (page 148). For the system parameters that are not in Table 50 (page 148), see the documentation for the Sun StorageTek FlexLine 380 and set the parameters appropriately for the connecting configuration.
