HP 3PAR RedHat and Oracle Linux Implementation Guide

2. After all ports have been configured, verify that the ports are configured for a host in a direct
connection by issuing the showport -par command on the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage.
In the following example, loop denotes a direct connection and point denotes a fabric
connection:

Configuring Ports on the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage for a Fabric Connection
To configure HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage ports for a fabric connection, complete the following
steps for each port connecting to a fabric.
CAUTION: Before taking a port offline in preparation for a fabric connection, you should verify
that the port has not been previously defined and that it is not already connected to a host, as this
would interrupt the existing host connection. If an HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage port is already
configured for a fabric connection, you can ignore step 2, since you do not have to take the port
offline.
