For procedures, refer to the applicable user guide available at: http://www.hp.com/support/manuals. If you do not have these programs, your HP service representative can perform these tasks for you. IMPORTANT: For optimal performance when configuring any XP disk array with a Tru64 host, HP does not recommend: • Sharing of CHA (channel adapter) microprocessors • Multiple host groups sharing the same CHA port NOTE: As illustrated in the following table, there is no microprocessor sharing with 8-port module pairs. With 16- and 32-port module pairs, alternating ports are shared.
