mapping a meta device for HPUX server

When mapping a meta device to a symmetrix front director port; unlike Solaris or Linux, we have to set VBUS parameter for an HPUX server. We omit this for Solaris or Linux.

i.e.
map dev [Meta device id] to dir 9d:1 target=0d, lun=3, vbus=0

To specify the vbus, run the command below in one of solution enabler installed server

./symcfg list -sid 35 -FA 9d -P 1 -available –address

From the below output, available addresses are from,

VBUS TID LUN
0 0D 003 *

Hence LUN can start from 003 with target being "0D", and vbus set to 0.
