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.

Fabric and connection parameter settings

Set each array port to FABRIC ON or OFF with connections of POINT-TO-POINT or FC-AL as shown
in the following table and figures. For detailed topology information, refer to the HP StorageWorks
