Re: Lun configs on EVA 4000
First, you must create a Vdisk, The best way is one by VG. You select the Raid Level and Capacity. Creates all the Vdisk you need, When all was created, you must present vdisk to Host (Is important to identify the Host in EVA, in HPUX with "fcmsutil /dev/xxxx" command)
Also You must install in HPUX Secure Path Software.
Good Luck, Jorge

Re: Lun configs on EVA 4000
Things to consider:
1- Do no create too big vdisk, if the vdisk fails, it may take too long to restore from a backup. We create 500 GB vdisks.
2- Create enough vdisks to fairly balance I/O between controllers, you can set the preferred controller for a vdisk.
3- Create the LVs or filesystems considering backup strategies, like frecuency, so static data should be on a filesystem and dynamic data on another, then static data is saved less frecuently.
4- Consider the mount options, you can mount a filesytem as read only, so applications won't be modified as an example.
The filesystem/lvs/luns requirements are very specific for every installation. Your brain will do the real job.

Create LV with -i -I and use 1024 as the size for oracle.

Re: Lun configs on EVA 4000
The LUN creation, presentation and mounting invlolves the following steps:
1. Log in to the SMA (through direct console or through Web Browser and go to Command View EVA.
2. Command view should automatically discover the storage system (EVA) that u are having and it'll show the disk and space details.
3. Form a disk group of disks as required.
4. Add hosts to the storage system on the basis of node names (obtained by #fcmsutil /dev/fcd* command).
5. Carve out Vdisks from the disk groups with RAID & size as desired, and present them to the desired hosts.
6. From the hosts' side the discovery and mounting is same as in any storage. the Vdisks will be visible as independent disks to the server. If you are using multiple paths to the storage, Securepath shoul be installed or else you will have to mask FC paths.
The procedure is given in the Command View EVA guide available on the HP site.
Hope it helps.
With Regards
Piyush
