Installing zHPF in a switch cascading configuration
In the storage system, when the zHPF PP is installed, the zHPF feature is enabled per channel path.
For point-to-point (direct) connection and single-switch connection, zHPF is dynamically enabled per
channel path. However, in cascading-switch connections, it is not automatically enabled (if you perform
option (1) or (2) from
be issued).
To install the zHPF function in cascading switch configurations, perform either Option (1) or Option
(2):
Option (1): Vary the channel path in the switch cascading configuration used for zHPF offline with
the CF CHP(Channel path 1-Channel path n),OFFLINEcommand, and then vary it online
with the CF CHP(Channel path 1-Channel path n),ONLINE command. If you always
keep the alternate path in the same path group when placing the channel path offline, you can
enable zHPF without stopping host access.
OR
Option (2): Power cycle the storage system.
