HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP operating system configuration guide for Windows 2000/2003 XP24000, XP12000, XP10000, SVS200, v01 (A5951-96195, June 2007)

Setting the System Option Mode
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 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.
Fibre address
In fabric environments, the port addresses are assigned automatically. In arbitrated loop environments,
set the port addresses by selecting a unique arbitrated loop physical address (AL-PA) or loop ID for
each port. For specific values, refer to the HP StorageWorks LUN Configuration and Security Manager
XP User Guide applicable to your array.
Fabric and connection parameter settings
Set each array port to FABRIC ON or OFF with connections of POINT-TO-POINT or FC-AL as shown
in the following table and figures. For detailed topology information, refer to the HP StorageWorks
SAN Design Reference Guide at:
