HP StorageWorks X5500 Network Storage Gateway for Linux setup guide (AP811-96003, October 2009)

Select your storage type and, for Fibre Channel, specify the fencing method that you want to use.
Fibre Channel switch-based fencing
Complete the following on the SAN & Fencing tab:
SAN Switches. Specify the hostnames or IP addresses of the Fibre Channel switches that are directly
connected to the nodes in the cluster. Click Add, and then specify the hostname or IP address of the
first Fibre Channel switch. Repeat this procedure to specify the remaining Fibre Channel switches,
including cascading switches.
SNMP Community String. The default SNMP community string for HP X5500 Storage Gateway for
Linux is private. If you want to use a custom community string, enter the appropriate value here.
The SNMP community string must be set to the same value on HP X5500 Storage Gateway for Linux
and on the SAN switches configured above.
When you have completed the information, go to the Storage Settings tab (see Storage Settings
tab, page 29).
Web management-based fencing
When you select either iSCSI storage or Fibre Channel storage with Web management-based fencing,
the SAN & Fencing tab will refresh and ask you for configuration information. Enter the appropriate
information for the Remote Management Controller associated with the server that you used to connect
to the Management Console.
