HP 3PAR SUSE Linux Enterprise Implementation Guide

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.
2. If the port has not been configured, take the port offline before configuring it for connection
to a host. To take the port offline, issue the HP 3PAR OS CLI command controlport
offline <node:slot:port>; for example:
# controlport offline 1:5:1
3. To configure the port to the host, issue controlport config host -ct point
<node:slot:port>, where -ct point indicates that the connection type specified is a
fabric connection. For example:
# controlport config host -ct point 1:5:1
4. Reset the port by issuing the controlport rst <node:slot:port> command; for
example:
# controlport rst 1:5:1
Creating the Host Definition
Before connecting the SUSE host to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage, create a host definition that
specifies a valid host persona for each HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage that is to be connected to a
host HBA port through a fabric or a direct connection.
SUSE uses the generic host persona of 1 (UARepLun,SESLun) for HP 3PAR OS 2.3.1, 3.1.1, and
3.1.2, including their supported MUs.
