Hitachi Storage Command Device Setup

This document provides guidance on finding command devices (CCI) for UNIX and Windows environments. It describes using INQRAID and RAIDSCAN commands to identify the command devices, and notes the correct syntax to specify the command device in the HORCM CONF file for different Hitachi storage systems. The preferred syntax is \\.\CMD-SERIAL-LDEV, as this works in multipath environments.

Hitachi Enterprise Storages

Scenario
You cannot create a HORCM CONF file or check it for accuracy without doing INQRAID commands for
UNIX/Windows and RAIDSCAN commands for Windows.

Here are 5 command devices 2 are in bold. The first is a USP the second is a 9570V. If the user
wants to use the first one, they need to code:
/dev/rdsk/c2t6d0s2 in the HORCM CONF file.

Note: Do not use ANY of these names. If you find a user using this syntax, ask that it be changed.
See INQRAID output below:

Harddisk numbers can change after a reboot.


GUID numbers can change in a MS Cluster environment after reboot
Do yourself a favour do not use these names

\\.\CMD syntax has been around since 01-17-03/05. If you have installed CCI running with 01-1703/05 or below, upgrade the CCI to use 01-19-03/04 or higher.
In this case, for Harddisk8/USP 10262, the correct syntax in the HORCM CONF file is:
\\.\CMD-10262-16
\\.\CMD-10262-16-CL1-A-12
\\.\CMD-10262-16-CL1-A
\\.\CMD-10262

(or)

\\.\CMD-10262-16 is preferred coding technique as this takes care of multipath environments as


well.
