Booting from the array 55

2. Run IOCONFIG to add the new Fibre Channel HBAs to the existing

system’s I/O configuration (or run SYSGEN if you prefer, but that will

require a system reboot after the configuration has been modified). You

should have recorded the I/O paths for the HBAs when the HBAs were

installed. In this example, the A6795A Fibre Channel HBA was

installed at I/O path 0/6/0/0.

CSYLE18<PUB.SYS>:ioconfig

ioconfig:ap path=0/6/0; id=pci_device

ioconfig:ap path=0/6/0/0; id=a6795a

3. Run the fcscan –h utility to obtain the I/O paths for the disk array

N-ports and LUNs.

CSYLE18<PUB.SYS>:fcscan -h

This could take upto few minutes. Please wait ...

FCSCAN has found the following Fibre Channel I/O Adapter Cards and Devices

4. Choose the disk array LUN that you will use as the new MPE/iX Ldev

1 and note the BOOT MENU PATH I/O path for that disk in the fcscan

output listing. That path will become the system’s primary boot path.

For this example, LUN 2 on the disk array was used at BOOT MENU

PATH 0/6/0/0.8.0.102.0.0.2
