216 Configuring the Disk Array
Configuring the Disk Array
HP-UX
After installing the disk array software, the following steps must be performed to configure
the disk array for operation. These steps should be performed by the service-trained
installer with assistance from the customer where appropriate.
Step 1. Determine the Disk Array ArrayID
The ArrayID is used to identify the disk array when performing the remaining tasks, so the
first step is to determine the ArrayID.
To display the ArrayID, type:
amdsp -i
Record the ArrayID (its S/N) for use in performing the remaining steps.
Step 2. Assign an Alias Name (Optional)
To simplify managing the disk array(s), an alias name can be assigned to each disk array.
Once assigned, the alias can be used in place of the ArrayID when performing the
remaining steps. An alias can include upper case characters, numbers, pound sign (#),
period (.), and underscore (_). All other characters are invalid.
To assign an alias, type:
ammgr -D <ArrayAlias> <ArrayID>
