Setting Up the SAN Hardware

Tip

HP recommends setting up the SAN hardware before installing the SAN

Manager LM software.

For detailed hardware setup procedures, see the manuals included with your Fibre

Channel hardware. In general, follow the steps outlined below.

Install a Fibre Channel HBA Card Into Each Computer

1. Verify that the computer functions properly before installing the Fibre Channel HBA.

2. Shut down the computer.

3. Install the Fibre Channel HBA. For instructions, see your Fibre Channel HBA

installation guide.

Note

SAN Manager LM ships with the HP SAN Manager LM QLogic HBA driver for

use with qualified QLogic HBA cards. SAN Manager LM also ships with the SAN

Manager LM-ready filter driver, which allows you to use other vendors’

qualified SAN Manager LM-ready HBAs.

See the

SAN Manager LM Release Notes

for a list of qualified HBAs and drivers.

Caution

If you are using a SAN Manager LM-ready HBA, do not install the HBA driver

until after SAN Manager LM is installed.
