Setting The Host Mode And Host Group Mode For The Disk Array Ports - HP XP7 Configuration Manual

This process is also called "LUN mapping." In the the XP7 Remote Web Console, LUN mapping
includes:
Configuring ports
Enabling LUN security on the ports
Creating host groups
Assigning Fibre Channel adapter WWNs to host groups
Mapping volumes (LDEVs) to host groups (by assigning LUNs)
In XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Software, LUN mapping includes:
Configuring ports
Creating storage groups
Mapping volumes and WWN/host access permissions to the storage groups
For details see the HP XP7 Provisioning for Open Systems User Guide. Note the LUNs and their
ports, WWNs, nicknames, and LDEVs for later use in verifying host and device configuration.

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 host group that is configured
on a disk array port to match the host OS. Set the host mode using LUN Manager in the XP7
Remote Web Console (shown) or XP7 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 setting for Linux is 00.
