HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP operating system configuration guide: MPE/iX (A5951-96145, November, 2005)

Further detaile d information about determining I/O paths for Fibre Channel disk arrays

can be found in the HP e3000 Fibre Channel M ass Storage Adapters Ser vice and User

Manual, and in the M PE/iX Release 7.5 Communicator article “ Fibre Channel Device

and Adapter Support on HP e3000 Systems.”

1. With the system bo oted up, use IOCONFI G to con ﬁg ure the I/O paths for the Fibre

Channel HBAs (located at paths 0/4/0/0 and 0/6/0/0 in this example):
