“Configuring the Fibre Channel ports” (page 80)
•
“Setting the system option modes” (page 81)
2.
“Installing and configuring the host” (page 81)
•
“Installing and configuring the FCAs ” (page 81)
•
“Loading the operating system and software” (page 81)
•
“Clustering and fabric zoning” (page 81)
•
“Fabric zoning and LUN security for multiple operating systems” (page 82)
3.
“Connecting the disk array” (page 82)

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, use XP Remote Web Console, P9000 or XP Command View Advanced
