HP 3PAR Citrix Implementation Guide

2. To verify that the host has been created, issue the showhost command.
# showhost
Id Name Persona -WWN/iSCSI_Name- Port
6 Citrixhost Generic 1122334455667788 ---
1122334455667799 ---
NOTE: HP recommends host persona 1. Using Host Persona 1 will enable the SES device
on this host. As a result, exporting a LUN on ID 254 will require a host reboot before it can
be discovered and used as a storage repository.
NOTE: See the HP 3PAR Command Line Interface Reference or the HP 3PAR Management
Console User’s Guide for complete details on using the controlport, createhost, and
showhost commands.

Connecting the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage to the Host
During this stage, connect the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage to the host directly or to the fabric. This
set of tasks includes physically cabling the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage to the host or fabric.
Setting Up and Zoning the Fabric
NOTE: This section does not apply when deploying HP Virtual Connect direct-attach FC storage
for HP 3PAR storage systems, where the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage ports are cabled directly to
the uplink ports on the HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10 Gb/24-port Module for c-Class
BladeSystem. Zoning is automatically configured based on the Virtual Connect SAN Fabric and
server profile definitions.
For more information about HP Virtual Connect, HP Virtual Connect interconnect modules, and the
HP Virtual Connect direct-attach feature, see HP Virtual Connect documentation and the HP SAN
Design Reference Guide. This documentation is available on the HP SC website:

Fabric zoning controls which Fibre Channel end-devices have access to each other on the fabric.
Zoning also isolates the host and HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage ports from Registered State Change
Notifications (RSCNs) that are irrelevant to these ports.
You can set up fabric zoning by associating the device World Wide Names (WWNs) or the switch
ports with specified zones in the fabric. Although you can use either the WWN method or the port
zoning method with the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage, the WWN zoning method is recommended
because the zone survives the changes of switch ports when cables are moved around on a fabric.
Required
Employ fabric zoning, using the methods provided by the switch vendor, to create relationships
between host HBA ports and storage server ports before connecting the host HBA ports or HP 3PAR
StoreServ Storage ports to the fabric(s).
Fibre Channel switch vendors support the zoning of the fabric end-devices in different zoning
configurations. There are advantages and disadvantages with each zoning configuration. Choose
a zoning configuration based on your needs.
