CAUTION: The correct host mode must be set for all new installations (newly connected ports)
to NonStop hosts. Do not select a mode other than 0C or 2C for NonStop. Changing a host mode
after the host has been connected is disruptive and requires the server to be rebooted.
When a new host group is added, additional host group modes (options) can be configured. The
storage administrator must verify if an additional host group mode is required for the host group.
CAUTION: Changing host group modes for ports where servers are already installed and
configured is disruptive and requires the server to be rebooted.
Setting system option modes
The HP service representative sets system option modes based on the operating system and software
configuration of the host. In some situations, the system option modes shown in Table 11 (page 54)
enable storage system behaviors that are more compatible with the requirements of a NonStop
system than the default modes. Ask your service representative if these modes apply in your situation.
