Defining The Paths; Setting The Host Mode And Host Group Mode For The Disk Array Ports - HP XP20000/XP24000 Configuration Manual

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)
In P9000 or XP Command View Advanced Edition Software, LUN mapping includes:
Configuring ports
Creating storage groups
Mapping volumes and WWN/host access permissions to the storage groups
For details see the HP StorageWorks XP LUN Manager User s Guide. Note the LUNs and their ports,
WWNs, nicknames, and LDEVs for later use in verifying host and device configuration.

Setting the host mode and host group mode for the disk array ports

After the disk array is installed, you must set the host mode for each host group that is configured on
a disk array port to match the host OS. Set the host mode using LUN Manager in XP Remote Web
Console(shown) or P9000 or XP Command View Advanced Edition Software. If these are not available,
the HP service representative can set the host mode using the SVP. The host mode setting for Novell
NetWare is 0A.
