HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array Configuration Guide for NonStop XP24000, XP20000, XP12000, XP10000, XP1024, XP128 (A5951 - 96223, September 2007)

Fibre address
In fabric environments, the port addresses are assigned automatically. In arbitrated loop environments,
set the port addresses by selecting a unique arbitrated loop physical address (AL-PA) or loop ID for
each port. For specific values, refer to the HP StorageWorks XP LUN Manager User's Guide applicable
to your array.
Fabric and connection parameter settings
Set each array port to FABRIC ON or OFF with connections of POINT-TO-POINT or FC-AL as shown
in the following figures and table. HP recommends that the individual Fibre Channel paths from the
NonStop host to the array be routed through separate FC switches utilizing WWN zoning. See the
