IMPORTANT:
A LUN assigned a number greater than FF is outside the accepted range of numbers for a Windows
server (00 to FE) and will not be recognized by the server or be visible for use.
Windows 2000: A LUN 0 must be created to discover more than LUNs 0 to 7.

Setting the host mode and host group mode for the disk array ports

After the disk array is installed, 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 P9000 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 available host mode settings are as follows:
