Figure 5: Back view of the VMA Array showing PCIe ports
Ensure that the VMA Arrays connected to the ‘primary’ VMA SAN Gateway are powered up and that
the only system alarms displayed on the array are disconnected PCIe links using the array CLI
command ‘show system alarms’.
Power up Primary VMA SAN Gateway and Configure LUNs
The last preparation step is to power up the ‘primary’ VMA SAN Gateway and start a gateway CLI
session using a terminal emulator application.
If containers have not been created on any connected VMA Array, use the CLI ‘media init’ command
to create the required container partitions so that LUNs can be created. Refer to ‘Configuring
Storage Containers’ section of the ‘HP VMA SAN Gateway Installation and Configuration Guide’ for
additional details. After initializing the media with the ‘media init’ command to create a ‘container’
on the VMA Array, you will also need to enable the container if it is offline. See the following
example:
hp-gateway1 [hp-redundant1: master] (config) # media init device ata-
VIOLIN_MEMORY_ARRAY_21109R00000413 type block name 3205_container
Really initialize ata-VIOLIN_MEMORY_ARRAY_21109R00000413 (all data will be lost)?
[no] yes
media init completed successfully
hp-gateway1 [hp-redundant1: master] (config) # show media
Location Media ID Model Size Status

At this time create any LUNs, configure target ports and initiator ports as needed to meet the
desired end configuration of LUNs, target port and initiator port settings as determined in the
Planning phase. Creation of LUNs and defining port settings will be more easily performed using
the VMA SAN Gateway web interface.
