A data host is any host that uses the array for storage. When a data host is connected to the Sun StorEdge 6130 array by a host bus adapter (HBA), the HBA is an initiator. The HBA is connected by a cable to a Fibre Channel (FC) port on the array.
After connecting a data host directly to the array with one or two HBAs, use the luxadm
(1M) command to verify the firmware level of HBAs. If the firmware is not at the correct revision, use the Sun StorEdge 6130 Installation Host Installation Software compact disk (CD) to install the Sun StorEdge SAN Foundation software. You can then configure the initiator and set up hosts and host groups.
