HP 3PAR Apple OS X Implementation Guide

2 Configuring the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage for Fibre
Channel
This chapter describes how to establish a connection between an HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage and
an Apple OS X host using Fibre Channel and how to set up the fabric when running HP 3PAR OS
3.1.3. For information on setting up the physical connection for a particular HP 3PAR StoreServ
Storage, see the appropriate HP 3PAR installation manual.
Required
If you are setting up a fabric along with your installation of the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage, see
“Setting Up and Zoning the Fabric” (page 7) before configuring or connecting your HP 3PAR
StoreServ Storage.

Required
The following setup must be completed before connecting the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage port to
a device.
Configuring Ports on the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage for a Fabric Connection
To configure HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage ports for a fabric connection, complete the following
steps for each port connecting to a fabric.
CAUTION: Before taking a port offline in preparation for a fabric connection, you should verify
that the port has not been previously defined and that it is not already connected to a host, as this
would interrupt the existing host connection. If an HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage port is already
configured for a fabric connection, you can ignore step 2, since you do not have to take the port
offline.
1. To determine whether a port has already been configured for a host port in fabric mode, issue
showport -par on the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage.
