MPE Native Fibre Channel Installation onto FC Ldev 1
10. Once the direct FC connect has been completed it is recommended that
you
retain the configuration group in the event that an issue arises that
requires debugging of the FC storage array, switch or topology.
11. Connect the HP e3000 FC HBA to a port on the Brocade 2800/2800/3200 or
3800
FC switch and create the zoning for those ports.
12. If you have access to MPE's FCSCAN utility program by using an
internal disk
as your Ldev 1, run that utility after connecting and verify the new
paths.

13. Use the boot path on the right hand side to change the boot path
within
the Boot Path Menu.
14. If no internal drive is available for getting the FCSCAN information,
access the Brocade switch through your favorite browser and access the
button for Name Server.
This window should have the port#, port ID, and symbolic name of the
device connected to the switch, such as A6188A for the VA7100.
The port ID value of 11f49 is in HEX and converted to decimal will give
the value 73545 which one of the components needed for generating a SYSGEN
compliant path for the Ldev. This number is actually the concatenation of
the Domain . Area . Port fields.
15. The boot path components consist of the NPort ID value (11f49)
broken into two digit hex fields and the converted into decimal. The
example of 01 1f 49 returns the following:
