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.
