Setting Up the ETERNUS DX
2.1
Common Settings
2.1.3
Setting the Host Responses
The host response parameters for the ETERNUS DX must be set to match the way the server processes the
responses to requests from the ETERNUS DX. Setting of the host response must be done before connecting
the ETERNUS DX to the server.
Set the parameters that are described below for each OS.
Retain the default values for all of the parameters that are not described below.
When setting the access path using the ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser, the host responses for FC host will be
set to default values. Set the host response after setting the access path using the ETERNUS SF Storage
Cruiser.

*1: An Oracle-brand Fibre Channel card driver may be used for Fujitsu Fibre Channel cards.
To confirm which driver should be used, check the "Notes" and "Fibre Channel Cards that Require an Ora-
cle-brand Driver" sections in "FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS DX Configuration Guide -Server Connection- (Fi-
bre Channel) for Oracle Solaris".
2.1.4
Setting the CA Port Groups
Create new FC port groups and register the ports as members of the groups. A port group is a group of ports
that access the same LUN group (ports that are used for multipath connection to the server or for connecting
to the cluster configuring server). Configure the host affinity setting for each FC port group.
2.1.5
Registering the WWNs of the Accessing Fibre Channel Cards (Setting FC Host)
Register the WWN of each Fibre Channel card installed in the server that will access the ETERNUS DX. At the
same time, set the host response numbers registered in
cept these WWNs.
Registering the FC host WWNs and setting up Host Affinities as described elsewhere, allows limits to be set
on which servers are allowed to access which ETERNUS DX LUNs.
