4. Setting up Virtual Machines (VMs) and guest operating systems • Setting the SCSI disk timeout value for Windows VMs • Sharing LUNs • Selecting the SCSI emulation driver 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, you will use XP Remote Web Console, XP Command View Advanced Edition Software, or XP Array Manager to complete the remaining tasks listed below. If you do not have these programs, your HP service representative can perform these tasks for you. Setting the host mode and host group mode for the disk array ports After the disk array is installed, you must 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). If these are not available, the HP service representative can set the host mode using the SVP. The host mode setting for VMware is 0C for the XP10000/XP12000 and 01 for the XP20000/XP24000. Figure 2 Host mode setting 01 (XP20000/XP24000 only) . CAUTION: The correct host mode must be set for all new installations (newly connected ports) to VMware hosts. Do not select a mode other than 0C (XP10000/XP12000) or 01 (XP20000/XP24000) for VMware. Changing a host mode after the host has been connected is disruptive and requires the server to be rebooted. When a new host group is added, additional host group modes (host mode options) may be configured. The storage administrator must verify if an additional host group mode is required for the host group. 10 Installing and configuring VMware for the XP disk array

Setting the host mode and host group mode for the disk array ports
After the disk array is installed, you must 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). If these are not available, the HP service representative can set the host mode using

CAUTION:
The correct host mode must be set for all new installations (newly connected ports) to VMware hosts.
Do not select a mode other than
0C
(XP10000/XP12000) or
01
(XP20000/XP24000) for VMware.
Changing a host mode after the host has been connected is disruptive and requires the server to be
rebooted.
When a new host group is added, additional host group modes (host mode options) may be configured.
The storage administrator must verify if an additional host group mode is required for the host group.
