Configuring The Fibre Channel Ports; Fibre Address; Fabric And Connection Parameter Settings - HP StorageWorks XP24000 Configuration Manual

Configuring the Fibre Channel ports

Configure the disk array Fibre Channel ports by using XP Remote Web Console. Select the settings
for each port based on your storage area network topology. Use switch zoning if you connect different
types of hosts to the array through the same switch.

Fibre Address

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.

Fabric and Connection parameter settings

Set each array port to FABRIC ON or OFF with connections of POINT-TO-POINT or FC-AL as shown
in the following figures and table. For detailed topology information, refer to the HP StorageWorks
SAN design reference guide at
