This section lists issues of interest if you are using the active/passive version of the HP StorageWorks MSA.

Set the Profile Name to Linux

To use HP StorageWorks MSA 1000 and MSA 1500 with ESX/ESXi systems, configure the FC connections

between the SAN array and the ESX/ESXi host with the Profile Name set to Linux.

Procedure

1 Create a static connection on the MSA 1000 by using the MSA 1000 command-line interface.

For information on installing and configuring the command-line interface, see the HP StorageWorks MSA

1000 documentation.

NOTE You cannot create connection settings by using the HP Array Configuration utility.

2 Connect the MSA 1000 command-line interface to the MSA 1000.

3 Verify that the FC network between the MSA 1000 and the ESX/ESXi host is working.

4 Start the command-line interface and enter the following at the prompt:

SHOW CONNECTIONS

The output displays a connection specification for each FC WWNN and WWPN attached to the MSA 1000.

Connection Name: <unknown>

Host WWNN = 20:02:00:a0:b8:0c:d5:56

Host WWPN = 20:03:00:a0:b8:0c:d5:57

Profile Name = Default

Unit Offset 0

Controller 1 Port 1 Status = Online

Controller 2 Port 1 Status = Online

5 Make sure the host’s WWNN and WWPN show the correct connection for each FC adapter on the ESX/

ESXi machine.

6 Create a static connection.

ADD CONNECTION ESX_CONN_1 WWNN=20:02:00:a0:b8:0c:d5:56 WWPN=20:03:00:a0:b8:0c:d5:57

PROFILE=LINUX
