Configure a FC SAN

  1. Verify that the HBAs, HBA drivers, and required HBA vendor software are installed on the host according to the vendor's instructions.
  2. Set up the SAN (physical connectivity and any required switch zoning) so there is at least one path through the SAN between an HBA port on the host and a Slammer port on each Pillar Axiom system.
    This enables the APM Service to discover the Pillar Axiom systems and automatically create host entries in the Pillar Axiom Storage Services Manager.
  3. From the Pillar Axiom Storage Services Manager, check the connection in the SAN > Storage > Hosts page for the following:
    • The host port should appear as an entry with the Host Name shown as Hostname Unknown.
      Note: The host page will display the host name after you install APM.
    • The Host Port name should be shown as its port WWN.
