Cisco SAN Switch

Enter configuration terminal mode before you execute any of the command below, you can enter by: pj_9509sw2# config terminal You can also check what is currently log in on your SAN switch using command: pj_9509sw2# show flogi database sh fl d

Creation of Device Alias

Entering Device Alias database: pj_9509sw2(config)# device-alias database Assigning Device Alias name to WWN: pj_9509sw2(config-device-alias-db)# device-alias name device-alias-name pwwn 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00 You can keep on assigning Device Alias when you are inside Device Alias database, once finish: pj_9509sw2(config-device-alias-db)# device-alias commit

Creation of FC Alias
On command line, key in the desired FC Alias (recommended same as Device Alias) and VSAN: pj_9509sw2(config)# fcalias name abc vsan 20 Key in WWN for this alias pj_9509sw2(config-fcalias)# member pwwn 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00

Zoning
The recommended zone name is hostname_hba_storage_FA: pj_9509sw2(config)# zone name hostabc_hba1_Deiva_DMX2k_FA99ab vsan 20 Key in the members of this zone, recommended is 1 HBA and 1 FA port on one zone: pj_9509sw2(config-zone)# member fcalias hostabc_hba1 pj_9509sw2(config-zone)# member fcalias DMX2k_FA99ab Repeat the commands above until you finish all your zoning configuration, after that you will need to add these zones to zonset: pj_9509sw2(config)# zoneset name vsand2_zoneset vsan 20 pj_9509sw2(config-zoneset)# member hostabc_hba1_Deiva_DMX2k_FA99ab Activate the zoneset after you done: pj_9509sw2(config)# zoneset activate name vsand2_zoneset vsan 20

LUN Masking (Solution Enabler)

Prerequisites:
Checking Symmetrix ID: C:\>symcfg list Checking existing LUN Masking configuration, -sid entry is the Symmetrix ID: C:\>symmaskdb -sid 10 list database v Backup configuration f entry is the backup target file name, you can use any name you want: C:\>symmaskdb -sid 10 -f vcmbackup.06Oct06 backup

Assigning device to server (HBA)

The information you need to complete this task are: WWN of the HBA, FA port the device currently map, device ID of the device you want to assign. The example below add a device with id 888 currently on FA 99ab to HBA with WWN 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00 C:\>symmask sid 10 wwn 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00 dir 99a p 1 add dev 888 You must also set the host heterogeneous mode, example below the host is Microsoft Windows, other supported mode are WINDOWS, IBM_AIX, HP_UX, SOLARIS_DMP: C:\>symmask sid 10 wwn 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00 dir 99a p 1 set heterogeneous on WINDOWS Rename the entry to a meaningful hostname: C:\>symmask sid 10 wwn 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00 rename hostabc/hba1 At last, run the refresh command: C:\>symmask sid 10 refresh
