Installation and Configuration
Before installing your backup software, refer to the HP StorageWorks EBS Design
Guide for assistance in setting up your hardware.
Installation Checklist
To ensure that all components on the SAN are logged in and configured properly,
you must be able to answer yes to each of the following questions:
■ Are all hardware components at the minimum supported firmware revision
(HBA, Fibre Channel switch, router, tape library drives, tape library robot)?
■ Have the device drivers for each tape device been installed?
■ Is the minimum patch level support for the OS installed?
■ Is the minimum supported HBA driver loaded on the host?
■ Is the tape library online?
■ Are all tape and robotic devices mapped and configured on the router?
■ Is the router correctly logged into the Fibre Channel switch?
■ Is the host server correctly logged into the Fibre Channel switch?
■ If the Fibre Channel switches are cascaded or meshed, are all Interswitch
Links (ISL) ports correctly logged in?
■ Are the router and the host server HBA in the same switch zone (either by
World Wide Name (WWN) or Port)?
■ Does the host server detect all of the tape and robotic devices intended to be
used?
Note: HP recommends placing your devices in zones and then making them available
to the server.
