IMPORTANT:

HP recommends selecting host group mode 19 (processing time for reserve commands during I/O

processing is shortened). Your HP representative will select host group mode 19 for you.

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.

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.

In fabric environments, the port addresses are assigned automatically. In arbitrated loop environments,

set the port addresses by selecting a unique arbitrated loop physical address (AL-PA) or loop ID for

each port. For specific values, refer to the HP StorageWorks XP LUN Manager User's Guide applicable

to your array.
