5 Configuring Hosts
To export (or present) virtual volumes to hosts, which enables the host system to write data to and
read data from the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system, you must configure either Fibre Channel
host connections or iSCSI host connections. For more information about exporting volumes, see
“Exporting Virtual Volumes” (page 49).
NOTE: If SmartStart detects that you are using Windows 7 or Windows 8, the Configure FC host
and Configure iSCSI host links on step 5, Configure hosts are disabled. For more information on
Configuring Hosts, refer to the HP 3PAR Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2008
Implementation Guide.
Fibre Channel Connections
You can set up Fibre Channel using direct connections or via switches in a SAN.
