SolutionBonjour,
Not sure that everybody will agree with that : you can also manage manually NPIV WWN.
Extract from HP-UX vPars 6.0 N-Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), bottom of page 9 :
Allocating IDs manually or with third-party products
When manually configuring vHBAs, vWWNs may safely be picked from the range 0x100000110a0300 - 0x100000110a030fff. This is a total of 4096 WWN which are not in the range that is handled automatically by GUIDMgr (see above). A user may use GUIDMgr for some NPIV HBAs and still manually select from the above range for other vHBAs. If this is being done, please note that you can save your manual settings in the GUIDMgr for tracking purposes, but the GUIDMgr never assigns a WWN outside of the range that HP has reserved.
Note there is a typo : range should begin @ 0x100000110a030000. Two zeroes are missing.
Don't know how many virtual HBA you will have to manage, but it could be easier to maintain an Excel spreadsheet. That's what I do : I don't want to have to maintain an additional software layer if I can avoid it.
HTH

Re: How to attaching disks to a integrity vm
Opps, sorry by the delay. In fact i',m triying to install my NPIV scenario by first time. Here we go:
a) In the NPAR and VM servers i'm following the next procedure from the manual:
2.2.1 Installing on the server
To install the HP-UX GUID Manager software on the database server, enter the following command
on the server:
#
swinstall -s ${DEPOT_PATH}/GUIDMGR_A.01.00.603_HP-UX_B.11.31_IA.depot GUIDMGR
#
swlist GUIDMGR
GUIDMGR A.01.00.603 HP-UX GUID Manager
This command initializes the GUIDMgr server-side environment, including creating a GUID private
user account, initializing the database, and starting the database service. If no error occurs during
initialization, GUIDMgr related daemons are started. If any error occurs, you must fix the error
before performing the next step or distributing current host name to any GUIDMgr client.
To initialize the server, enter the following command:
#
/opt/guid/utils/guid_server_prepare.sh
This command configures the GUIDMgr on the target system. After the GUID Manager is configured
on the server, the database is empty. The
guid_server_prepare command creates some guid
tables without any guid data. The guid_server_prepare.sh script executes the following commands
automatically:
2.1 Installation requirements 9
•
/opt/guid/bin/guidconfig –b wwn is executed to set up the library linkage for the
commands.
•
/opt/guid/sbin/guidd is started as the main daemon for a GUID server.
•
/opt/guid/sbin/guidkeyd is started, so you can SSH tunnel to GUID server from GUID
client.
•
/opt/guid/sbin/guiddbutil –c wwn is used to create the initial database, if not
already created.
The
/opt/guid/tools/postgresql directory contains binaries to set up the a postgresql
database for private use by a GUID server. Various PostgreSQL commands are executed to set up
the database for the first time, if not already created, and start the
postgresql daemons needed
to access the database.
2.2.2 Installing on the client
To install the GUID client, enter the following command on all the VSP hosts:
#
swinstall -s ${DEPOT_PATH}/GUIDMGR_A.01.00.603_HP-UX_B.11.31_IA.depot GUIDMGR
NOTE:
After installing and verifying the client installation, you must set up authentication on
GUID client. Otherwise, any GUID request to remote server will fail. See
“Verifying the installation
of GUIDMgr” (page 10) for information about setting up authentication.
3.1 Setting up the server and the client
This section provides the steps for setting up the server and the client. After installing, initializing,
and configuring the GUID manager on the server (see “Installing on the server” (page 9)), follow
these steps to set up the server:
1.
Set the GUIDMgr server hostname:
#
/opt/guid/bin/guidconfig -h guid_server_hostname
After installing GUID Manager on the client “Installing on the client” (page 10), perform the
following steps to set up the client:
1.
Configure client access to the database:
#
/opt/guid/bin/guid_client_prepare -a
2.
Set the GUIDMgr server hostname:
#
/opt/guid/bin/guidconfig -h guid_server_hostname
3.
Create a range of WWNs to manage:
#
/opt/guid/bin/guidmgmt -S wwn 50014c2000000000 50014c2000007fff
4.
Verify database access by querying the pools of WWNs:
#
/opt/guid/bin/guidmgmt -L wwn
Range type Start(Hex) End(Hex) Size(dec)
=============== ================== ================== ==========
HP-DEFINED-PWWN 0x50014c2000000000 0x50014c2000007fff 32768
HP-DEFINED-NWWN 0x50014c2800000000 0x50014c2800007fff 32768
5.
Verify ranges with these commands:
#
/opt/guid/sbin/guiddbutil -s range_wwn wwn
#
/opt/guid/sbin/guiddbutil -s addr_wwn wwn
3.2 Verify
But this procedure isn't working for me because i obtain the same result on the vm :
# /opt/guid/bin/guid_client_prepare -a
NOTE:
We found Host is configured in /opt/guid/etc/guid.conf. This
may because current machine has been once installed and
configured as a GUID client. Or user has defined hostname in
guid.conf by CLI tool "guidconfig -h".
In this case, we only try setting up authentications between
current client and remote GUID servers, which are configured
in HOST.
Install pubkey on GUID server(sd16dom2) succeeded.
Connect to host sd16dom2 failed.
ListRange of wwn from GUID server(sd16dom2) failed.
GUIDMGR client preparation accomplished.
Some idea ??
Regards !!

Sounds interesting, could you give me an example using this alternate procedure , please. I don't want to manage an additional software for this porpouse.

Re: How to attaching disks to a integrity vm
Check the attached spreadsheet ... my own GUI ;-) Of course, I can't assume any bug. It's just a tool for myself I can share
Just add the name of the vm guest you want to modify, the virtual bus where you want to connect the virtual hba, the physical hba on the host and you will find all the commands to modify the vm guest and to add the corresponding host in a 3Par storage.
If you add the existing aliases of a storage in the san, you will get commands to create the corresponding zones in the fabrics
Fabric number is optional. Just a way to color the commands for the fabrics.

Attachments have to have known suffixes like .txt, .pdf, .zip, etc.

What browser are you using? Works fine with firefox 22.0.
No problems with IE10 and Windows 8.

Re: How to attaching disks to a integrity VM
Reboot done. And it doesn't work anymore ...
Updated Java. All caches emptied. Still not working
Can you tell me what URL do you see on buttons "Remove" and "Add Attachment". I see the same URL on both buttons : http:// h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/editpage/board-id/itrc-855/message-id/5810/is-draft/false# ????
