Setting the Host Mode
The USP V has host modes that the storage administrator must set for all new
installations (newly connected ports) to IRIX hosts.
• The required host mode for SGI IRIX is: 00
Do not select a host mode other than 00 for SGI IRIX.
You can use either the LUN Manager software (Storage Navigator) or the
HiCommand
®
Device Manager software to set the host mode. Figure 2-1
shows the Add New Host Group panel from LUN Manager. For more
information about using LUN Manager, see the Hitachi Universal Storage
Platform V LUN Manager User’s Guide (MK-96RD615).
WARNING: Changing host modes on USP V
systems that are already installed
and configured is disruptive and requires the server to be rebooted.
