HP 3PAR Windows 2012 and Windows Server 2008 Implementation Guide

1. To determine whether a port has already been configured for a host port in fabric mode, issue
showport -par on the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage.
2. If the port has not been configured, take the port offline before configuring it for connection
to a host. To take the port offline, issue the HP 3PAR OS CLI command controlport
offline <node:slot:port>.
# controlport offline 0:4:1
3. To configure the port to the host, issue controlport config host -ct point
<node:slot:port>, where -ct point indicates that the connection type specified is a
fabric connection. For example:
# controlport config host -ct point 0:4:1
4. To bring the port online, issue controlport rst <node:slot:port>; for example:
# controlport rst 0:4:1
5. Connect each host HBA port to the fabric. Each host HBA port's worldwide name (WWN)
should be associated with the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage port it is connected to.
6. Complete the zoning; see “Setting Up and Zoning the Fabric” (page 19).
7. Issue showhost to verify that the host has connected to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage.
Creating the Host Definition
Before connecting the host to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage using HP 3PAR OS 3.1.x, create a
host definition for the Windows Server 2012/2008 host.
