Installing and configuring the host
This section explains how to install and configure the host and Fibre Channel ServerNet Adapters
(FCSAs) that connect the host to the disk array.
Loading the operating system and software
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to load the operating system and software onto the host. Load
all OS patches and configuration utilities supported by HP.
Installing and configuring the FCSAs
Install and configure the adapters using the Fibre Channel ServerNet Adapter Installation and Support
Guide, available at the NonStop Technical Library website:
http://h30163.www3.hp.com/ntl/.
Fabric zoning and LUN security for multiple operating systems
You can connect multiple clusters of various operating systems to the same switch using appropriate
switch zoning and array LUN security as follows:
• Use Secure Manager for LUN isolation when multiple NonStop systems connect through a shared
array port. Secure Manager provides LUN security by allowing you to restrict which LUNs each
host can access.
