Notes on Connecting the ETERNUS DX Disk Storage System

to a Server

When connecting the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system to a server using a Fibre Channel cable, make sure to

confirm that all the settings on the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system are complete. The WWN Automatic Ac-

quisition function should not be used because it requires the server to be connected. Otherwise, LUNs in the

ETERNUS DX Disk storage system may not be recognized properly.

SAN Boot Notes

When using an ETERNUS DX Disk storage system LUN (Logical Unit) as the boot disk, check the "Server Sup-

port Matrix" for the server environment being used, as well as any SAN boot documentation (such as in a

system installation guide) provided with the server.

When an ETERNUS DX Disk storage system LUN is to be used as a boot disk, it must be provided with suffi-

cient capacity to install the OS.
