HP 3PAR HP-UX Implementation Guide

NOTE: The WWN used in the command above to create a host definition is the host N_Port
Port World Wide Name (PWWN). An example of how to obtain the PWWN is as follows
# fcmsutil /dev/fcd0 | grep "N_Port Port"
N_Port Port World Wide Name = 0x5001438004257c22
2. To verify that the host has been created, issue the showhost command.
# showhost
Id Name Persona -WWN/iSCSI_Name-
2 hpux-host HPUX 1122334455667799
1122334455667788
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 server directly or to the fabric.
This set of tasks includes physically cabling the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage to the host server 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. To obtain this
documentation, search 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 server 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.
