Setting up LUN on HP StorageWorks arrays and zoning on Fibre Channel switches NOTE: All supported OSs must be zoned to only have a single path to the target LUN during an OS install. After installation, a multi-path driver (MPIO, SecurePath, etc.) must be installed before multiple paths are presented to the host. This is true for any SAN and any switch vendor. If the OS is not single-path during the install, the OS returns various errors. In boot from SAN configurations, the boot paths must be on the active path to the boot logical unit number (LUN) and switch zoning must be set up unless directly connected to the array. The following documents contain information about setting up LUN on HP StorageWorks arrays and zoning on Fibre Channel switches: • 32-bit Linux systems: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00166137/c00166137.pdf • Itanium-based Linux systems: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00166110/c00166110.pdf • Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server x64 edition systems: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00099862/c00099862.pdf Deploying the OS by CD overview The following steps provide an overview a CD installation: 1.
