Setting The System Option Modes; Configuring The Fibre Channel Ports; Fibre Address; Fabric And Connection Parameter Settings - HP StorageWorks XP10000 - Disk Array Configuration Manual

CAUTION:
The correct host mode must be set for all new installations (newly connected ports) to OpenVMS hosts.
Do not select a mode other than 05 for OpenVMS. Changing a host mode after the host has been
connected is disruptive and requires the server to be rebooted.

Setting the system option modes

The HP service representative sets the system option mode(s) based on the operating system and
software configuration of the host. Notify your HP representative if you install storage agnostic software
(such as backup or cluster software) that may require specific settings.

Configuring the Fibre Channel ports

Configure the disk array Fibre Channel ports by using XP Remote Web Console (shown), or XP
Command View. 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. For detailed
procedures, refer to HP StorageWorks XP LUN Manager User's Guide.

Fibre address

In fabric environments, the port addresses are assigned automatically.

Fabric and connection parameter settings

Set each array port to FABRIC ENABLE with connections of POINT-TO-POINT (P-to-P). For detailed
topology information, refer to the HP StorageWorks SAN Design Reference Guide
