How can I connect the Fujitsu ETERNUS DX60 S3 to my server infrastructure?

To connect the Fujitsu ETERNUS DX60 S3 to your server infrastructure, follow these steps:Set the FC Port Parameters to define the to-server connection type, such as "Fabric connection" for Fibre Channel switches or "FC-AL connection" for direct Fibre Channel card connections.Create LUN Groups that are accessible to the server.Configure the Host Responses to match the connection configuration, setting parameters based on the operating system (e.g., Solaris, Windows, Linux, VMware ESX, HP-UX, AIX, IBM SVC).Create CA Port Groups by grouping ports for each CA type.Register the WWNs of the Accessing Fibre Channel Cards to set limits on which servers can access specific ETERNUS DX LUNs.Define the Host Affinity to specify the relationship between the FC host, CA port group, and LUN group, determining which LUNs can be accessed.Set Specific Parameters according to the OS and connection configuration, such as disabling "Load Balance" for HP-UX or enabling "Reject INQUIRY from Unauthorized Host" for VERITAS Volume Manager Dynamic Multipathing.Use the ETERNUS Web GUI to check the WWNs of each ETERNUS DX, which are necessary for connecting to the server.
