Installing And Configuring The Disk Array; Setting The Host Mode And Host Group Mode For The Disk Array Ports - HP StorageWorks XP24000 Configuration Manual

• Setting and verifying the auto-mount parameters

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, you will use XP Remote Web Console, XP Command View (XP arrays
only), Command View XP Advanced Edition Software, or XP Array Manager to complete the remaining
tasks listed below. If you do not have these programs, your HP service representative can perform
these tasks for you.

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 disk array port to match the host
OS. Set the host mode using LUN Manager in XP Remote Web Console (shown), XP Command View
(XP arrays only), or Command View XP 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 HP-UX is 08.
CAUTION:
The correct host mode must be set for all new installations (newly connected ports) to HP-UX hosts. Do not
select a mode other than 08 for HP-UX. Changing a host mode after the host has been connected is
disruptive and requires the server to be rebooted.
When a new host group is added, additional host group modes (options) may be configured. The
storage administrator must verify if an additional host group mode is required for the host group.
