3 Connecting a Host Server with Fibre Channel
This chapter describes the tasks necessary for connecting the host to Fibre Channel.
Installing the HBA
1. Install the HP-UX operating system from the HP-UX 11i v2 Mission Critical OE June 2008
Release, as well as the 11i v2 December 2010 Support Pack, or from the HP-UX 11i v3 Data
Center OE March 2013 or later Release on Integrity/PA-RISC Servers.
2. Install the HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage adapters, such as the AB379B, AH402A and
AD194A, in the server using the documentation supplied with the HBA from the server vendor.
A complete list of supported HBAs can be found on the HP SPOCK website:

Installing the Host OS
The following information is for HP-UX 11i v2 or 11i v3 Itanium®/PA-RISC server installations with
the AB379B, AH402A, and AD194A HBAs.
1. Check the installed patches using the System Administration Manager (SAM) for HP-UX 11i
v2 or SMH for HP-UX 11i v3 using the swlist command.
• GUI:
SAM→Software Management→View Installed Software
• CLI:
# swlist | grep -i FibrChanl
The list should include the following software; the support versions are listed on the HP
SPOCK website:
