You must configure the operating system before you can
use hosts running the Windows NT® operating system.
Before you configure the host operating systems, the following
tasks must be completed:
- The IBM® service
representative must
have installed the SAN Volume Controller.
- You must have installed the appropriate host bus adapters.
After the prerequisite tasks are complete, use the following
general steps to configure your Windows
NT operating system.
- Zone the host system to the SAN Volume Controller on
the fibre-channel SAN.
- Install the appropriate multipathing driver for your host
system to enable the management of multiple paths to SAN Volume Controller virtual
disks (VDisks).
- Create the host system on the SAN Volume Controller, using the worldwide port names (WWPNs). Map the VDisks
to the host as required.
- Create volumes/disks on your host using instructions in
your host system publications.
