HP 3PAR Windows 2012 and Windows Server 2008 Implementation Guide

2. To verify that each port has the correct persona and connection type, issue showport -par.
For example:
# showport -par
0:4:1 loop auto disable disable (1) g_ven, g_hba, g_os, 0, DC enabled
3. Connect each Host HBA port to its associated HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage port. Each host
HBA port's worldwide name (WWN) should be associated with the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage
port it is connected to.
4. Issue showhost to verify that the host has connected to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage.
Configuring HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage Ports for Fabric Topology (HP 3PAR OS
2.2.x)
To set up HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage ports for fabric connect, complete the following steps for
each fabric connect port.
CAUTION: Do not take ports for fabric connection offline until you verify that the port has not
been previously defined. A previously defined fabric port might already be connected to hosts.
Taking a port offline in this scenario would interrupt the host connection. In cases where the HP 3PAR
StoreServ Storage ports are already configured for fabric, the port will not have to be taken offline.
Follow these steps:
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.
In the output below, loop denotes direct connect and point denotes fabric.
# showport -par

1:5:2 host loop auto 4Gbps disabled disabled disabled enabled
1:5:3 host loop auto 4Gbps disabled disabled disabled enabled
1:5:4 host loop auto 4Gbps disabled disabled disabled enabled
2. If the port has not been configured, take the port offline before configuring it to a host, issue
controlport offline <node:slot:port>. For example:
# controlport offline 1:5:1
