Host Fibre Channel HBA configuration
This section describes the recommended configuration to apply when attaching a host to thePowerStore cluster using host
Fibre Channel HBAs.
NOTE:
When using Fibre Channel with PowerStore, the FC HBA (Host Bus Adapters) issues described in this section
should be addressed for optimal performance.
NOTE: Before you proceed, review Fibre Channel SAN Guidelines.
Pre-Requisites
Before installing HBAs in a Solaris host, the following pre-requisites should be met:
● Follow Oracle's recommendations for installation and setup of the appropriate HBA for your system.
● It is recommended to install the latest driver version (patch), as described on the Oracle support site for each specific FC
HBA.
● Refer to the E-Lab Interoperability Navigator (http://elabnavigator.emc.com) for supported FC HBA models and drivers.
