Connect the Host to the SAN
Use your established cabling policy to connect the host to the Fibre Channel switch.
I 1. Use 50-micron, multimode fiber optic cable to connect one adapter of each pair to the top
Fibre Channel switch.
I 2. Use 50-micron, multimode fiber optic cable to connect the other adapter of each pair to the
bottom Fibre Channel switch.
Example: If there are four adapters in a server, the first and third adapters must be
connected to the top Fibre Channel switch; the second and fourth adapters must be
connected to the bottom Fibre Channel switch.
I 3. Verify that the connection between the host and the switch has been made:
SHOW CONNECTIONS
You should see a display similar to that in Example Display 39.

Rename the Host Connections
To better identify the hosts, HP recommends that you rename the host connections using a
meaningful name for each. Each HBA appears as a connection. An HBA can be identified by
its WWN, which you recorded when you installed the HBAs, and which appears in the
connection description.
Initially, each connection is named !NEWCONxx. It is easier to track connections if the
connection names are meaningful, like “HostA1.”
Note: If you use scripting to automate failover and failback operations, do not use dashes
(hyphens) as separators in your naming convention—use underscores instead. Dashes are not
allowed by the Perl scripting language.
I 1. We suggest that you use the worksheet in Figure 19 on page 76 when renaming hosts.
