Verify that the system activity LED is ON and the disk drive activity LEDs are ON (both green).
20 F. Changing the Array Host Port Behavior F. Changing the Array Host Port Behavior NOTE: If your array is connected to a host that is running Windows 2000, Windows NT, or Linux, you need to change the array host port behavior, using the Virtual Front Panel (VFP). If your array is connected to a host that is running HP-UX, you do not need to change the host port behavior setting. 1.
21 G. Changing the Array Loop IDs G. Changing the Array Loop IDs NOTE: Your array comes preset with the following default fibre channel loop identifiers (IDs): 108 (controller 1) and 110 (controller 2). If the default loop IDs conflict with the loop IDs of any other devices in your configuration, you need to change the array loop IDs using the Virtual Front Panel (VFP). If they do NOT conflict with other loop IDs, you do not need to change the array loop ID settings. 1.
