For all operating systems, before installing the disk array, ensure the environment conforms to the following requirements: • Fibre Channel Adapters (FCAs): Install FCAs, all utilities, and drivers. For installation details, see the adapter documentation. • HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console or HP StorageWorks P9000 or XP Command View Advanced Edition Software for configuring disk array ports and paths. • HP StorageWorks XP Array Manager. • Check with your HP representative for other XP software available for your system. NOTE: • Linux, NonStop, and Novell NetWare: Make sure you have superuser (root) access. • OpenVMS firmware version: Alpha System firmware version 5.6 or later for Fibre Channel support. Integrity servers have no minimum firmware version requirement. • HP does not support using Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software from a Guest OS. In addition, for Solaris, ensure the following requirements are aslo met before installing the disk array: • Volume Manager: Solaris Volume Manager or Veritas Volume Manager. • Oracle SAN software: For Solaris 8/9 (if not using Emulex, QLogic, or JNI drivers), latest SAN Foundation Software with current patches. For Solaris 10 (if not using Emulex, or QLogic drivers), latest SAN (Leadville driver stack) with current patches. Oracle StorEdge Traffic Manager/Oracle VM Storage Multipathing requires that you configure /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf. For Solaris 8/9 SAN information, see Oracle StorEdge SAN Foundation Software & Installation Guide and Oracle StorEdge Traffic Manager Software Installation and Configuration Guide at www.oracle.com. For Solaris 10 and later SAN information, see Solaris Fibre Channel and Storage Multipathing Administration Guide at www.oracle.com. Fibre Channel interface The XP family of disk arrays and the SVS 200 support the following Fibre Channel elements: • Connection speeds of 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, and 4 Gbps. • Short-wave non-OFC (open fibre control) optical interface • Multimode optical cables with SC or LC connectors • Public or private arbitrated loop (FC-AL) or direct fabric attach • Fibre Channel switches Even though the interface is Fibre Channel, this guide uses the term "SCSI disk" because disk array devices are defined to the host as SCSI disks. Fibre Channel elements specific to NonStop: • Connection speeds of 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, and 4 Gbps • Short-wave non-OFC (open fiber control) optical interface • Multimode optical cables with LC connectors • Direct connect (PriNL) or fabric switch connect (N-port or DFA) • Fibre Channel switches Fibre Channel interface 11
