Setting the host mode and host group mode for the disk array ports
After the disk array is installed, you must set the host mode for each disk array por t to match the host OS.
Set the host mode using LUN Manager in Remote We b Console (shown), Command View (XP arrays
only), or Command View XP Advanced Edition. If these are not available, the HP service representative
can set the h
ost mode using the SVP.

CAUTION:
The correct host mode must be set for all new installations (newly connected ports) to Windows
2000
/2003 hosts. Do not select a mode other than 2C and 0C for Windows 2000/2003. Changing a
hos
t mode after the host has been connected is disruptive and requires the server to be rebooted.
