set the host mode for each host group that is configured on a disk array port to match the host OS. Set the host mode using LUN Manager in XP Remote Web Console (shown) or P9000 or XP Command View Advanced Edition Software. The host mode setting for Solaris is 09.

added, additional host group modes (options) may be configured. The storage administrator must verify if an additional host group mode is required for the host group. For Solaris, host group mode 7 should always be set because this is a prerequisite when using the Sun SAN driver.

17. To determine which Emulex FCAs and driver version HP supports with the lpfc driver, contact your HP representative. The lpfc driver is not supported on x86 architecture. Configure Emulex FCAs with the lpfc driver as follows: 18 Installing and configuring Solaris for the XP family of disk arrays - HP XP20000/XP24000 | HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array Configuration Guide: Solaris - Page 19
set Manager/Sun Storage Multipathing. To HP representative to determine which QLogic FCAs and driver version HP supports with the qla2300 driver. The qla2300 driver is not supported on x86 architecture. Configure Qlogic FCAs with the qla2300 driver as follows: XP Disk Array Configuration Guide - HP XP20000/XP24000 | HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array Configuration Guide: Solaris - Page 20
hardware and software products. HP recommends to migrate to different FCAs. Support is limited to legacy environments with Solaris 8 and 9 only. Configure 2 Gbit FCAs differently as explained below. For 1 Gbit FCAs, see the HP StorageWorks XP12000 Disk Array Configuration Guide for Sun Solaris. AMCC - HP XP20000/XP24000 | HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array Configuration Guide: Solaris - Page 21
AMCC/JNI 2 Gbit FCAs • Use JNIC146x driver (version 5.3.1.1). • Edit the FCA driver settings in the /kernel/drv/jnic146x.conf file. For a SAN environment: FcLoopEnabled = 0; FcFabricEnabled = 1; and configure the clustering software on the servers.

For the various file systems you can set specific parameters that can have an impact on performance and are application-dependant. 24 Installing and configuring Solaris for the XP family of disk arrays - HP XP20000/XP24000 | HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array Configuration Guide: Solaris - Page 25
HP XP disk arrays are certified for VxVM support. Be sure to set the driver parameters correctly when you install the FCA. Failure to do so may result in a loss of path failover in DMP.

HP support representative for assistance. Error conditions Depending on your system configuration, you may be able to view error messages (R-SIMS) as follows: • In XP Remote Web Console per port has not been exceeded. • The disk array host mode is set correctly. The host does not reboot properly - HP XP20000/XP24000 | HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array Configuration Guide: Solaris - Page 28
Error condition Recommended action The disk array responds "Not Ready" Contact HP. or the disk array has displayed "Not Ready" and timed out. The host host hangs. Make sure there are no duplicate disk array TIDs and that disk array TIDs do not conflict with any host TIDs. 28 Troubleshooting - HP XP20000/XP24000 | HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array Configuration Guide: Solaris - Page 29
