Defining the paths Use P9000 or XP Command View Advanced Edition Software or XP Remote Web Console (shown) to define paths between hosts and volumes (LUNs) in the disk array. This process is also called "LUN mapping." In the XP 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) In P9000 or XP Command View Advanced Edition Software, LUN mapping includes: • Configuring ports • Creating storage groups • Mapping volumes and WWN/host access permissions to the storage groups For details see the HP StorageWorks XP LUN Manager User's Guide. Note the LUNs and their ports, WWNs, nicknames, and LDEVs for later use in verifying host and device configuration. 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) or P9000 or XP Command View Advanced Edition Software. If these are not available, the HP service representative can set the host mode using the SVP. The host mode setting for HP-UX is 08. Installing and configuring the disk array 15

Defining the paths
Use P9000 or XP Command View Advanced Edition Software or XP Remote Web Console (shown)
to define paths between hosts and volumes (LUNs) in the disk array.
This process is also called “LUN mapping.” In the XP 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)
In P9000 or XP Command View Advanced Edition Software, LUN mapping includes:
•
Configuring ports
•
Creating storage groups
•
Mapping volumes and WWN/host access permissions to the storage groups
For details see the
HP StorageWorks XP LUN Manager User’s Guide
. Note the LUNs and their
ports, WWNs, nicknames, and LDEVs for later use in verifying host and device configuration.
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) or P9000 or XP Command View Advanced Edition Software. If these are
not available, the HP service representative can set the host mode using the SVP. The host mode
setting for HP-UX is
08
