Installing And Configuring The Disk Array; Setting The Host Mode And Host Group Mode For The Disk Array Ports - HP StorageWorks XP10000 - Disk Array Configuration Manual

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 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 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 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 for AIX is 0F.
CAUTION:
The correct host mode must be set for all new installations (newly connected ports) to AIX hosts. Do
not select a mode other than 0F for AIX. 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.
