Configuring The Fibre Channel Ports - HP StorageWorks XP48 - Disk Array Configuration Manual

Configuring the Fibre Channel ports

Installation
Configure the disk array Fibre Channel ports by using Command View
(shown) or the Fibre Parameter window in LUN Configuration Manager.
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, you set the port addresses by selecting a
unique arbitrated loop physical address (AL-PA) or loop ID for each port.
