HP StorageWorks XP10000 - Disk Array Configuration Manual

Fibre address

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.

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.

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.

Installing and configuring the FCAs

Install and configure the Fibre Channel adapters using the FCA manufacturer's instructions.

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.

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.
