Installing and configuring the storage systems
This section describes the steps required for installing and configuring RAID
systems and Linux servers for Secure Path operation in fabric (FC-SW) mode.
This section is divided into three parts, one for EVA5000/EVA3000 storage
systems, one for setting up HSG80-based storage systems, and one for setting up
the MSA1000-based storage systems.
Before proceeding, you should have all Fibre Channel adapters installed in your
Linux server. If required, power down your server and install the Fibre Channel
