Configuring the Fibre Channel ports
Configure the disk array Fibre Channel ports by using P9000 or XP Command View Advanced
Edition Software or XP 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.
Installing and configuring the host
This section explains how to install and configure Fibre Channel adapters (FCAs) that connect the
host to the disk array.
Loading the operating system and software
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to load the operating system and software onto the host.
Load all OS patches and configuration utilities supported by HP and the FCA manufacturer.
Installing and configuring the FCAs
Install and configure the Fibre Channel adapters using the FCA manufacturer's instructions.
Clustering and fabric zoning
If you plan to use clustering, install and configure the clustering software on the servers.
Clustering is the organization of multiple servers into groups. Within a cluster, each server is a
node. Multiple clusters compose a multi-cluster environment. The following example shows a
multi-cluster environment with three clusters, each containing two nodes. The nodes share access
to the disk array.
