Setting the Host Response for the ETERNUS DX8000 S2 series using the ETER-
NUS Multipath Driver
For a configuration in which the ETERNUS Multipath Driver is used with the ETERNUS DX8000 S2 series, using
the TPG Referrals function is recommended to improve the performance of the ETERNUS DX8000 S2 series.
A new host response needs to be added and configured to use the TPG Referrals function. The configuration
varies depending on the host response that is selected in

In addition, for the TPG Referrals function support status in the ETERNUS Multipath Driver, check the support
information for each Multipath Driver.
2.1.5
Setting the CA Port Groups
Create new FC port groups and register the ports as members of the groups. A FC port group is a group of FC-
CA type ports that are connected to the specified host group. Configure the host affinity setting for each FC
port group.
2.1.6
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.
