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.
The following host group modes (options) are available for HP-UX:
Table 1 Host group modes (options)

Task retry ID enable
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 HP service representative sets the system option mode(s) based on the operating system and
software configuration of the host. Notify your HP representative if you install storage agnostic software
(such as backup or cluster software) that may require specific settings.
Configuring the Fibre Channel ports
Configure the disk array Fibre Channel ports by using XP Remote Web Console (shown) or XP
Command View Advanced Edition Software. 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.
