software configuration of the host. Notify your HP representative if you install storage agnostic
software (such as backup or cluster software) that might require specific settings.

Configuring the Fibre Channel ports

Configure the disk array Fibre Channel ports by using XP7 Command View Advanced Edition
Software or the XP7 Remote Web Console (shown). Select the settings for each port based on your
SAN topology. Use switch zoning if you connect different types of hosts to the array through the
same switch.
The correct host mode must be set for all new installations (newly connected ports)
