by your XP disk array.

Before installing the disk array, ensure the environment conforms to these requirements:

•

Fibre Channel Adapter (FCAs): Install FCAs and all utilities and drivers. Refer to the adapter

documentation for installation details.

•

(Recommended) HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console, HP StorageWorks XP Command

View Advanced Edition Software or HP StorageWorks XP Command View with LUN management

feature for configuring disk array ports and paths.

•

(Recommended) HP StorageWorks XP Array Manger.

•

(Optional) Check with your HP representative for other XP software available for your system.

The XP family of disk arrays supports these Fibre Channel elements:

•

Connection speeds of 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, and 4 Gbps

•

Short-wave non-OFC (open fiber control) optical interface

•

Multimode optical cables with SC or LC connectors

•

Public or private arbitrated loop (FC-AL) or direct fabric attach

•

Fibre Channel switches

Even though the interface is Fibre Channel, this guide uses the term "SCSI disk" because disk array

devices are defined to the host as SCSI disks.
