HP Storageworks HSG80 Manuale Utente

Platform-Specific Issues

13

Beginning with Secure Path Version 1.5.19.1 for the Cambex drivers, the maximum number of 
LUNs supported increased from 16 to 32.

The Secure Path for Windows 2000 Auto Failback feature is not currently supported in a Data 
Replication Manager configuration. Disable this feature by starting Secure Path Manager, then 
selecting Properties > Autofailback > Disable.

Any of the Windows servers can be booted from a LUN on an HSG80 controller, including a 
LUN that is part of a remote copy set. Instructions for configuring servers and booting 
Windows 2000 are available for download from the Web at:

Two problem situations could arise when booting over the fabric:

■

If the boot LUN is online to a controller that the server cannot access, the server will be 
unable to boot. This condition could occur if the link between the server and the fabric is 
broken. At this stage of booting, the server cannot move the LUN between controllers. The 
LUN must be manually moved to the other controller by issuing the following CLI 
commands:

SET UNIT_NUMBER PREFERRED=OTHER

SET UNIT_NUMBER NORUN

SET UNIT_NUMBER RUN

■

When an intersite link with high latency (such as ATM) is used, the server may take a long 
time to boot and may be slow to respond during normal operation. This is normal behavior 
for the server. It is caused by the time required to replicate the boot disk across a very long 
distance.

If a target controller or switch becomes inoperative and the Windows 2000 host is rebooted, 
Secure Path Manager will not report that you have lost multipath capability.

If you attempt to move a LUN to the inoperative path, a warning message appears, indicating 
that you should check the Application Event Log for details. This may be an indication that 
you have lost multipath capability.

Check the status of links, target switches, and target controllers.
