Adding A New Lu - Hitachi XP P9500 User Manual

Adding a New LU

To add a new LU (HDLM device) to the host on which the HDLM is
installed:
1 Use the management program of the storage system to allocate an LU,
.
which is not yet allocated to the relevant host, to a port of the storage
system that has a path to the relevant host and configure the path.
For more information on configuring the path, see the manual provided
with the storage system.
2 When you want to add an LU without restarting the host, perform step 3
.
and step 4. When you want to add an LU while restarting the host, go to
step 5.
3 Create a SCSI device for each path configured in step 1.
.
Since the host has not been restarted, a SCSI device for the LU that was
added in step 1 was not created. Execute the command for adding the
device shown in
