Even if you can configure and validate only one Fibre Channel connection, you can still configure the Fibre Channel host. CAUTION: If you are using only one supported Fibre Channel connection and that connection fails, the host will not be able to access (read from or write data to) the HP 3PAR storage system. The redundancy of two Fibre Channel connections, each connected to a different HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system node, creates connection stability and allows for future rolling upgrades to the HP 3PAR storage system. NOTE: To configure more than two Fibre Channel connections, use the HP 3PAR Management Console. To install the Management Console, go to SmartStart wizard step 6, Install the Management Console. 3.
