After completing these tasks, use XP Command View (XP disk arrays only), XP Remote Web Console,
Command View XP Advanced Edition Software, or LUN Configuration and Security Manager to
complete the remaining installation tasks. If you do not have these programs, your HP service
representative can perform these tasks for you.
Setting the host mode and host group mode for the disk array ports
After the disk array is installed, you must set the host mode for each disk array port to match the host
OS. Set the host mode using LUN Manager in XP Remote Web Console (shown), XP Command View
(XP arrays only), or Command View XP Advanced Edition Software. If these are not available, the
HP service representative can set the host mode using the SVP.
The available host mode settings for Windows 2000/2003 are as follows:
