Installing and configuring the host
This section explains how to install and configure the host and host bus adapters (HBAs) that connect
the host to the disk array.
Loading the operating system and software
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to load the operating system and software onto the host. Load
all OS patches and configuration utilities supported by HP and the HBA manufacturer.
Installing and configuring the HBAs
Install and configure the host bus adapters using the HBA manufacturer's instructions.
Clustering and fabric zoning
If you plan to use clustering, install and configure the clustering software on the servers.
Clustering is the organization of multiple servers into groups. Within a cluster, each server is a node.
Multiple clusters compose a multi-cluster environment. The following example shows a multi-cluster
environment with three clusters, each containing two nodes. The nodes share access to the disk array.
