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, XP Command
View Advanced Edition, 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 disk array port to match the host
OS. Set the host mode using LUN Manager in XP Remote Web Console (shown), XP Command View
(XP arrays only), 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 NonStop is 0C or
2C. Use host mode 2C if you plan to use LUN size expansion (LUSE).
