Setting The System Option Modes; Configuring The Fibre Channel Ports - HP XP20000/XP24000 Configuration Manual

CAUTION:
The correct host mode must be set for all new installations (newly connected ports) to NonStop hosts. Do
not select a mode other than 0C or 2C for NonStop. Changing a host mode after the host has been connected
is disruptive and requires the server to be rebooted.
When a new host group is added, additional host group modes (options) may be configured. The
storage administrator must verify if an additional host group mode is required for the host group.
CAUTION:
Changing host group modes for ports where servers are already installed and configured is disruptive and
requires the server to be rebooted.

Setting the System Option Modes

The NonStop servers have no operating system specific System Option Mode requirements.

Configuring the Fibre Channel ports

Configure the disk array Fibre Channel ports by using XP Remote Web Console (shown), XP Command
View, or XP Command View Advanced Edition. 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.
