CAUTION: The correct host mode must be set for all new installations (newly connected ports)
to Novell NetWare hosts. Do not select a mode other than 0A for Novell NetWare. The host modes
must be set for certain middleware environments (for example, Novell High Availability Server,
NHAS, System Fault Tolerance, SFT III). Changing a host mode after the host has been connected
is disruptive and requires the server to be rebooted.
When a new host group is added, additional host group modes (host mode options) can be
configured. The storage administrator must verify if an additional host group mode is required for
the host group.
CAUTION: Changing host group modes for ports where servers are already installed and
configured is disruptive and requires the server to be rebooted.
Configuring the Fibre Channel ports
Configure the disk array Fibre Channel ports by using P9000 or XP Command View Advanced
Edition Software or XP Remote Web Console (shown). Select the settings for each port based on
your SAN topology. Use switch zoning if you connect different types of hosts to the array through
the same switch.
