Chapter 1. Implementing Fibre Channel host adapter cards 23
1.7 Hewlett Packard 9000 FC host system attachment
This topic describes the host system requirements and provides procedures to
attach an ESS to a Hewlett Packard 9000 host system with Fibre Channel
adapters.
1.7.1 Attachment requirements
This section lists the requirements for attaching the ESS to your host system:
򐂰 Ensure that you have all of the items listed in Equipment requirements.
򐂰 Ensure that you have the installation script files. The script file is on the
compact disc that you receive with the ESS.
򐂰 Ensure that you have 1 MB minimum of hard disk space available to install
the 2105inst script file.
򐂰 Check the LUN limitations for your host system; see Table 2.
򐂰 Ensure that you have the documentation for your host system and the IBM
Enterprise Storage Server User's Guide. The User's Guide is on the compact
disc that you receive with the ESS.
See the following Web site for details about the release level for your operating
system:
www.storage.ibm.com/hardsoft/products/ess/supserver.htm
Either you or an IBM service support representative (SSR) must perform the
following tasks to install and configure an ESS.
1. The IBM SSR installs the ESS by using the procedures in the IBM Enterprise
Storage Server Service Guide.
2. Either you or an IBM SSR defines the Fibre Channel host system with the
worldwide port name identifiers. For the list of worldwide port names, see
1.12, “Locating the worldwide port name” on page 69.
3. Either you or an IBM SSR defines the Fiber Channel port configuration if you
did not do it during the installation of the ESS or Fibre Channel adapters.
Note: Use the information on the logical configuration work sheet in the IBM
Enterprise Storage Server Configuration Planner that you previously filled out.
