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. If you completed the steps in

Section D and Section E, the

initialization sequence will be

displayed in Hexadecimal (see

Fig. 43).

2. When initialization is complete,

the Ready prompt will be

displayed.
