Installing and configuring the disk array
The HP service representative performs these tasks:
Assembling hardware and installing software
Loading the microcode updates
Installing and formatting devices
After these tasks are finished, use XP Remote Web Console, P9000 or XP Command View Advanced
Edition Software, or XP Array Manager to complete the remaining disk array configuration tasks. If
you do not have these programs, your HP service representative can perform these tasks for you.
Defining the paths
Use P9000 or XP Command View Advanced Edition Software or XP Remote Web Console (shown)
to define paths between hosts and volumes (LUNs) in the disk array.
This process is also called "LUN mapping." In the XP Remote Web Console, LUN mapping includes:
Configuring ports
Enabling LUN security on the ports
Creating host groups
Assigning Fibre Channel adapter WWNs to host groups
Mapping volumes (LDEVs) to host groups (by assigning LUNs)
