OS. Set the host mode using LUN Manager in XP Remote Web Console (shown). If these are not available, the HP service representative can set the host mode using the SVP. The host mode setting for VMware is 0C for the XP10000/XP12000 and 01 for the XP24000. -
Page 15: Configuring The Fibre Channel Ports
In fabric environments, the port addresses are assigned automatically. In arbitrated loop environments, set the port addresses by selecting a unique arbitrated loop physical address (AL-PA) or loop ID for each port. For specific values, refer to the HP StorageWorks XP LUN Manager User's Guide applicable to your array. -
