Accessing the storage unit using Fibre Channel Protocol for a zSeries host

This section describes the high level steps you must take to access the storage unit using Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP).

1. Gather the prerequisite information about the SAN setup. See Setting up the storage unit for zSeries hosts running Linux for a list of the information that you must collect.
2. Set up the storage unit and configure the LUNs for use with Linux for zSeries^®. See Setting up the storage unit for zSeries hosts running Linux for the steps you must perform to set up the storage unit.
3. Manually load the required modules and parameters to access the disks. See Viewing the LUNs for zSeries hosts running Linux and Setting up the Linux system to use the Fibre Channel Protocol device on zSeries hosts for the steps you must perform to view LUNs and set the Linux system to use FCP devices.
4. Make the disks permanently accessible. See Adding additional permanent devices for zSeries hosts running Linux for the steps you must perform to add permanent devices.
