Re: CX600 / Navisphere to AIX / Naviagent connectivity problem?

Steve you can try this out and see if it works

For Access Logix configurations, follow these steps (which assume that
the host is zoned to the array):

Install CLArrayS3 on the AIX host.

Install Navisphere host Agent.

Run cfgmgr to get sp device entries and LUNZ entries.

Start Navisphere Agent to push HBA and host information to the array.

Connect host to appropriate Storage Group containing LUNs.

Remove any LUNZ devices by doing the following:
a. Run lsdev -Cc disk - This will show all hdisks that belong to
the CLARiiON array in the description. You will see LUNZ and there will
be two for each array.
b. Remove all LUNZs using rmdev -dl hdisk# (where # is the
applicable device number for the LUNZ).

Set arraycommpath to 0 (disable) for all HBA paths to the array from
the AIX host and also
set failovermode to 1 (PowerPath) for all these paths.

Run cfgmgr to get all applicable hdisks.

Run emc_cfgmgr.sh if multiple adapters are connected to the same SP
ports.

Install EMC PowerPath.

Run powermt config to get hdiskpower devices.

Note: When adding a new array, you must run cfgmgr and NOT
emc_cfgmgr.sh to get the /dev/sp entries for the new devices.

CX600 - 128 initiators per SP and maximum of 256 initiators per CX600
available for server connections. Ports 0, 1, 2, and 3 on each SP in
any CX600 handle server connections. Port 3 on each SP in a CX600 with
MirrorView/A or MirrorView/S enabled also handles remote mirror
connections. Each path used in a MirrorView or SAN Copy relationship
between two storage system counts as an initiator for both storage
systems.
