Install SWCC (Optional)
T You may now install SWCC. For detailed information about SWCC, including installation,
refer to the Compaq StorageWorks Command Console Version 2.4 User Guide.
Additional Setup
T You will need the latest TIMA kit, which is identified at:

Connect the Host to the SAN
Use your established cabling policy to connect the host to the Fibre Channel switch.
T 1. Use 50-micron, multimode fiber optic cable to connect one adapter of each pair to the top
Fibre Channel switch.
T 2. Use 50-micron, multimode fiber optic cable to connect the other adapter of each pair to the
bottom Fibre Channel switch.
For example, if there are four adapters in a server, the first and third adapters must be
connected to the top Fibre Channel switch and the second and fourth adapters must be
connected to the bottom Fibre Channel switch.
T 3. Verify that the connection between the host and the switch has been made:
SHOW CONNECTIONS
You should see a display similar to that in Example Display 11.

Rename the Host Connections
To better identify which hosts you are working with, HP recommends that you rename the
host connections, using a meaningful connection name for each. Each HBA appears as a
connection. An HBA can be identified by its WWN, which you recorded when you installed
the HBAs, and which appears in the connection description.
Initially, each connection is named !NEWCONxx. It is much easier to track connections if the
connection names are meaningful, like “HostB1.”
Note: If you use scripting to automate failover and failback operations, do not use dashes
(hyphens) as separators in your naming convention—use underscores instead. Dashes are not
allowed by the Perl scripting language.
