FC switch
The zoning must be set correctly in the Fibre Channel switch. These settings must be entered by a qualified technician.
X2000
Use the SE Manager to configure the volumes of the storage system as BS2000 volumes.
All by FC accessible volumes and only these are configurable as BS2000 volumes. An 'overconfiguration' as possible at /390 is not possible.
For reasons of simplicity, only devices of a single storage system controller should be generated for each host connector (visible to BS2000 as a bus channel).
The volumes can also be configured if their status is NOT-READY or READ-ONLY. This is particularly useful for units to which data is copied during replication.
BS2000
Devices connected to x86 servers do not have a controller. This gives rise to the following special features:
No controller mnemonic names are output by the SHOW commands.
ETERNUS DX/AF
The devices in the storage system have FBA track format.
The configuration settings should be entered by a qualified technician.
The information provided below applies for ETERNUS DX/AF and the various levels when BS2000 volumes are configured on x86 servers over a Fibre Channel.
