Chapter 5 Configuration Overview

Each operating system has a method for recognizing storage devices and LUNs 

and might require the use of specific commands or the modification of specific files. 
Be sure to check the information for your operating system to ensure that you have 
performed the necessary procedures.

For information about different operating system procedures, see:

12. Reset the controller. 

Configuration is complete.

Resetting the controller can result in occasional host-side error messages such 

as parity error and synchronous error messages. No action is required and the condition 
corrects itself as soon as reinitialization of the controller is complete.

13. Save the configuration to a disk. 

14. Make sure that the cabling from the RAID array to the hosts is complete. 

You can reset the controller after each step or at the end of the configuration 

process. 

Avoid using in-band and out-of-band connections at the same time to 

manage the array. Otherwise, conflicts between multiple operations can cause 
unexpected results.

Point-to-Point Configuration Guidelines

Remember the following guidelines when implementing point-to-point configurations 
in your array and connecting to fabric switches:

■

The default mode is “Loop only.” You must change the Fibre Channel Connection 
mode to “Point-to-point only” with the firmware application. Refer to the SANnet II 
Family RAID Firmware User’s Guide for more information.
