Install and configure the host
This section explains how to install and configure the host and host bus adapters (HBAs)
that connect the host to the disk array.

Loading the OS and software

Follow the manufacturer's instructions to load the operating system and software onto
the host. Load all OS patches and configuration utilities supported by HP and the HBA
manufacturer.
Installing and configuring the HBAs
Install and configure the HBA driver software and setup utilities according to the
manufacturer's instructions. Configuration settings specific to the XP array differ
depending on the manufacturer.
Specific configuration information is detailed below.

WWN

The HBA configuration process may require you to enter the WWN for the array port(s)
to which it will connect. Your HP representative can provide you this information or you
may display this information on the SAN switch.
Configuring Sun HBAs
To configure Sun HBAs:
• Have the HP representative specify array System Option Mode 244 (ON).
• Install the latest SUN Foundation Kit with associated patches. Use the Sun
supplied install_it script to automate installation. The script is available at
http://www.sun.com/storage/san/.
• If you use Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager (MPxIO), edit the driver configuration
file (/kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf) to add the Vendor ID and Product ID to the
"device-type-scsi-options-list" parameter. See the instructions in the driver
configuration file and the excerpts below:
Change to "no" as shown:
mpxio-disable="no";
Add or comment out these lines (use exactly 6 spaces between HP and OPEN):
device-type-scsi-options-list =
"HP OPEN", "symmetric-option";
symmetric-option = 0x1000000;
