HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP operating system configuration guide for Tru64 UNIX XP24000, XP12000, XP10000, v01 (A5951-96066, June 2007)

Fabric and connection parameter settings
Set each array port to FABRIC ENABLE with connections of POINT-TO -POINT (P-to-P). For detailed
topology information, refer to the HP StorageWorks SAN Design Reference Guide available at:
http://www.hp.com/support/manuals.
Installing and configuring the host
This section explains how to install and configure the host and host bus adapters (HBAs) 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 and the HBA manufacturer.
CAUTION:
If you plan to use XP Continuous Access Software, you must configure XP Continuous Access first before
installing Tru64. If you configure XP Continuous Access after installing Tru64, the unit identifier returned
to Tru64 is changed resulting in loss of recognition of current disks.
Installing and configuring the HBAs
Install and configure the host bus adapters using the HBA manufacturer's instructions.
Set HBA fabric mode
Set the HBAs to run in fabric mode as follows.
1. Display the HBA configuration.
P00>>>wwidmgr -show adapter
2. Set the HBA topology to fabric. The 9999 qualifier sets all adapters with one command.
P00>>>wwidmgr -set adapter -item 9999 -topo fabric
Using wwidmgr
When booting from an XP disk array, use the following procedure to create the bootable device within
the console:
1. Show all wwids
P00>wwidmgr -show wwid
