P9000 Configuration Guide
P9500 Disk Array
Abstract
This guide provides requirements and procedures for connecting a P9000 disk array to a host system, and for configuring the
disk array for use with a specific operating system. This document is intended for system administrators, HP representatives,
and authorized service providers who are involved in installing, configuring, and operating P9000 disk arrays.
