CAUTION:

Changing host group modes for ports where servers are already installed and configured is disruptive and

requires the server to be rebooted.

Setting the System Option Modes

The HP service representative sets the System Option Mode(s) based on the operating system and

software configuration of the host.

Configuring the Fibre Channel ports

Configure the disk array Fibre Channel ports by using XP Remote Web Console (shown), XP Command

View (XP arrays only), or Command View XP Advanced Edition Software. Select the settings for each

port based on your storage area network topology. Use switch zoning if you connect different types

of hosts to the array through the same switch.
