•
“Defining the paths” (page 69)
•
“Setting the host mode and host group mode for the disk array ports” (page 70)
•
“Configuring the Fibre Channel ports” (page 70)
•
“Setting the system option modes” (page 70)
2.
“Installing and configuring the host” (page 71)
•
“Installing and configuring the FCAs ” (page 71)
•
“Loading the operating system and software” (page 71)
•
“Clustering and fabric zoning” (page 71)
•
“Fabric zoning and LUN security for multiple operating systems” (page 71)
3.
“Connecting the disk array” (page 72)
•
“Restarting the Linux server” (page 72)
•
“Verifying new device recognition” (page 72)
4.
“Configuring disk array devices” (page 73)
•
“Partitioning the devices” (page 73)
•
“Creating the file systems” (page 74)
•
“Creating the mount directories” (page 74)
•

“Verifying file system operation” (page 75)
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 Command View Advanced Edition or Remote Web Console to define paths between hosts
and volumes (LUNs) in the disk array.
