SAN configuration
The workstation blade provides FC support for SAN implementations. This solution uses an optional FCA
that offers redundant SAN connectivity and optimization for HP StorageWorks products. The workstation
blade is also compatible with certain third-party SAN products. For more information, refer to the
documentation that ships with the FCA option.
For optimal SAN connectivity, observe the following guidelines:
•
The FCA option is installed correctly in the workstation blade. Refer to the documentation that ships
with the FCA option.
•
An FC-compatible interconnect is installed in the enclosure. Refer to the documentation that ships
with the interconnect option.
•
The server blade enclosure management module firmware is up-to-date. Refer to the HP Business
Support Center website (http://www.hp.com/support).
•
The workstation blade is cabled properly to a supported SAN.
•
SAN storage drivers are loaded. Refer to supporting white papers and the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/servers/rdp).
For SAN configuration information for the workstation blade, refer to the HP StorageWorks SAN Design
Reference Guide on the HP website
