Open systems configuration
After physical installation of the Virtual Storage Platform has been
completed, the user configures the storage system for open-systems
operations with assistance as needed from the Hitachi Data Systems
representative.
Please refer to the following documents for information and instructions on
configuring your Virtual Storage Platform storage system for open-systems
operations:
• The host configuration guides provide information and instructions on
configuring the Virtual Storage Platform storage system and disk devices
for attachment to the open-systems hosts.
•The Hitachi Storage Navigator User Guide provides instructions for
installing, configuring, and using Storage Navigator to perform resource
and data management operations on the Virtual Storage Platform .
•The Provisioning Guide for Open Systems describes and provides
instructions for configuring the Virtual Storage Platform for host
operations, including FC port configuration, LUN mapping, host groups,
host modes and host mode options, and LUN Security.
Each fibre-channel port on the Virtual Storage Platform provides
addressing capabilities for up to 2,048 LUNs across as many as 255 host
groups, each with its own LUN 0, host mode, and host mode options.
Multiple host groups are supported using LUN Security.
•The Hitachi SNMP Agent User Guide describes the SNMP API interface for
the VSP storage systems and provides instructions for configuring and
performing SNMP operations.
•The Provisioning Guide for Open Systems and Hitachi Volume Shredder
User Guide provide instructions for configuring multiple custom volumes
(logical units) under single LDEVs on the Virtual Storage Platform . The
Provisioning Guide for Open Systems also provides instructions for
configuring size-expanded logical units by concatenating multiple logical
units to form individual large logical units.
Storage Navigator
Storage Navigator is installed on a PC, laptop, or workstation. It
communicates via a LAN to the SVP in the Virtual Storage Platform storage
system. The SVP obtains storage system configuration and status
Note: Queue depth and other parameters may need to be adjusted
for the storage system. See the appropriate configuration guide for
