Creating the Host Definition

Before connecting the HP-UX host to the HP 3PAR Storage System, create a host definition that is
to be connected to a host HBA port through a fabric or a direct connection.
To create host definitions on the HP 3PAR Storage System, issue createhost
[options]<hostname> [<WWN>].
# createhost hpux-host 1122334455667788 1122334455667799
• To verify the host definition, issue showhost:
# showhost
Id Name
...
2 hpux-host

Connecting the HP 3PAR Storage System to the Host

During this stage connect the HP 3PAR Storage System to the host server directly or to the fabric.
This set of tasks includes physically cabling the HP 3PAR Storage System to the host server or fabric.

Setting Up and Zoning the Fabric

Fabric zoning controls which devices have access to each other on the fabric. The required use
of single initiator to single target zoning isolates the host server and HP 3PAR Storage System ports
from Registered State Change Notifications (RSCNs) that are irrelevant to these ports.
You can set up fabric zoning by associating the device World Wide Names (WWNs) or ports
with specified zones in the fabric. Although you can use either the WWN or the port zoning
methods with the HP 3PAR Storage System, the WWN zoning method is recommended because
the zone survives the changes of ports when cables are reconnected on a fabric.
Use the methods provided by the switch vendor to create relationships between host server HBA
ports and storage server ports before you connect the host server HBA ports or HP 3PAR Storage
System ports to the fabric.
REQUIRED
When you establish zoning with the HP 3PAR Storage System, there must only be a single initiator
zoned with a single target. If an issue occurs using another zoning approach, HP may require that
you implement this zoning approach as part of troubleshooting and/or corrective action.
