HP-UX: Preparing a host for InfiniBox volume provisioning

This document describes the steps needed to be taken for preparing a HP-UX host for volume provisioning. Host Power Tools currently doesn't run on HP-UX, therefore these steps are manual.

Step-by-step guide

A HP-UX host is basically ready for volume provisioning without any further configurations. The following steps make sure the HBA/Multipath drivers are configured correctly, and explain how to provision volumes and list the available luns/paths/disks on a host :

1. Checking software dependencies.
2. Setting HBA driver's attributes and global settings for best practices.
3. Setting up Multipathing.
4. Checking FC connectivity.
5. Provisioning InfiniBox Volumes.
