Install and configure the disk array

The HP service representative performs these tasks:

•Assembling hardware and installing software

•Loading the microcode updates

•Installing the channel adapters (CHAs) and cabling

•Installing and formatting devices

After these tasks are finished, you will use Remote Web Console, Command View, Command View XP Advanced Edition, or LUN Configuration and Security Manager to complete the remaining tasks listed below. If you do not have these programs, your HP service representative can perform these tasks for you.

Setting the host mode for the disk array ports

The disk array ports have host modes that must be set depending on the host you use. After the disk array is installed use LUN Manager in Remote Web Console XP (shown), Command View XP, or Command View XP Advanced Edition to set the host mode for each port. The host mode setting for HP-UX is 08.
