Setting the host mode and host group mode for the disk array ports

Page 11 highlights

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 XP Command View. For procedures, refer to the applicable user guide available at http://www.hp.com/support/manuals. If these are not available, the HP service representative can set the host mode using the SVP. The required host mode setting for Tru64 is 07. CAUTION: The correct host mode must be set for all new installations (newly connected ports) to Tru64 hosts. Do not select a mode other than 07 for Tru64. 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 (options) may be configured. The storage administrator must verify if an additional host group mode is required for the host group. XP Disk Array Configuration Guide for Tru64 UNIX 11
