Setting up ports on the external system (VSP G1000, G1500)

Make sure the external system ports you use have enough capacity for the read/write workload planned for the external volumes.

See the discussion on planning for external paths in the Universal Volume Manager User Guide for more information. Refer to the documentation for the external system for full information.

Procedure

1. Configure the topology settings according to the configuration of the connection (fabric or loop).

2. Set the data transfer speed according to the connection configuration.

3. Set parameters for the ports on the external system as required for connecting with your VSP G1000, VSP G1500, or VSP F1500 system. For your specific external system, see the topic on supported external systems in the Universal Volume Manager User Guide.

If you do not find your external system in the section, see http://www.hds.com/products/storage-systems/specifications/supported-external-storage.html to make sure your system is supported and then refer to the documentation for the system's ports.

4. Define LUNs and present them on the port on the external system.
