HP VSC Basic Configuration
This section describes the intial configuration steps necessary to get the HP VSC up and
running and able to communicate with other elements in the VSP.
The procedures described include:
• HP VSC Boot Options File Configuration
• HP VSC System and Protocol Configuration
HP VSC Boot Options File Configuration
The HP VSC uses a Boot Options File (BOF) named bof.cfg that is read on system boot and is
used for some basic, low-level system configuration needed to successfully boot the HP VSC.
Table 5 lists the configuration paramaters that are set in the BOF that are needed for proper
operation of the HP VSC.
