If you do not have these programs, your HP service representative can perform these tasks for you. Defining the paths Use Remote Web Console or Command View Advanced Edition to define paths (LUNs) between hosts and volumes in the disk array. This process is also called "LUN mapping." In Remote Web Console, LUN mapping includes: • Configuring ports • Enabling LUN security on the ports • Creating host groups • Assigning Fibre Channel adapter WWNs to host groups • Mapping volumes (LDEVs) to host groups (by assigning LUNs) 30 Windows

You and the HP service representative each play a role in installation. The HP service representative
is responsible for installing the disk array and formatting the disk devices. You are responsible for
configuring the host server for the new devices with assistance from the HP service representative.
Installation roadmap
Perform these actions to install and configure the disk array:
1.
“Installing and configuring the disk array” (page 30)
•
“Defining the paths” (page 30)
•
“Setting the host mode and host group mode for the disk array ports” (page 31)
•
“Setting the system option modes” (page 32)
•
“Configuring the Fibre Channel ports” (page 32)
2.
“Installing and configuring the host” (page 32)
•
“Loading the operating system and software” (page 32)
•
“Installing and configuring the FCAs ” (page 32)
•
“Fabric zoning and LUN security” (page 33)
3.
“Connecting the disk array” (page 33)
•
“Verifying the host recognizes array devices” (page 34)
4.
“Configuring disk devices” (page 34)
•
“Writing signatures” (page 34)
•
“Creating and formatting disk partitions” (page 35)
•
“Verifying file system operations ” (page 35)
Installing and configuring the disk array
The HP service representative performs these tasks:
•
Assembling hardware and installing software
•
Loading the microcode updates
•
Installing and formatting devices
After these tasks are finished, use Remote Web Console, Command View Advanced Edition, or
Array Manager to complete the remaining disk array configuration tasks. If you do not have these
programs, your HP service representative can perform these tasks for you.
Defining the paths
Use Remote Web Console or Command View Advanced Edition to define paths (LUNs) between
hosts and volumes in the disk array.
This process is also called “LUN mapping.” In Remote Web Console, LUN mapping includes:
•
Configuring ports
•
Enabling LUN security on the ports
•
Creating host groups
•
Assigning Fibre Channel adapter WWNs to host groups
•
Mapping volumes (LDEVs) to host groups (by assigning LUNs)
