2. Enter the following command to mount the disk:
MOUNT/SYSTEM name-of-virtual-disk volume-label
NOTE: The /SYSTEM switch is used for a single stand-alone system, or in clusters if you
want to mount the disk only to select nodes. You can use the /CLUSTER switch for OpenVMS
clusters. However, if you encounter problems in a large cluster environment, HP recommends
that you enter a MOUNT/SYSTEM command on each cluster node.
3. View the virtual disk’s information with the SHOW DEVICE command. For example, enter the
following command sequence to configure a virtual disk named data1 in a stand-alone
environment:
$ INIT $1$DGA1: data1
$ MOUNT/SYSTEM $1$DGA1: data1
$ SHOW DEV $1$DGA1: /FULL
Setting preferred paths
You can use one of the following options for setting, changing, or displaying preferred paths:
• To set or change the preferred path, use the following command:
$ SET DEVICE $1$DGA83: /PATH=PGA0.5000-1FE1-0007-9772/SWITCH
This allows you to control which path each virtual disk uses.
• To display the path identifiers, use the SHOW DEV/FULL command.
• For additional information on using OpenVMS commands, see the OpenVMS help file:
$ HELP TOPIC
For example, the following command displays help information for the MOUNT command:
$ HELP MOUNT

Solaris operating system.
Loading the operating system and software

host. Load all OS patches and configuration utilities supported by HP and the FCA manufacturer.
Configuring FCAs with the Oracle SAN driver stack
Oracle-branded FCAs are supported only with the Oracle SAN driver stack. The Oracle SAN
driver stack is also compatible with current Emulex FCAs and QLogic FCAs. Support information
is available on the Oracle website:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris/overview/index-136292.html
To determine which non-Oracle branded FCAs HP supports with the Oracle SAN driver stack, see
the latest MPxIO application notes or contact your HP representative.
