1	Server	❑ Install the HBAs.	HBA documentation
	Install HBAs,	❑ Connect a cable from each host HBA port to a switch port or an SP port.
	drivers, cables
		❑ Install the HBA driver.
2	Server	❑ Set the HBA driver parameters to the values required for CLARiiON.	Host connectivity guide

		as greatly increased I/O delays.
		❑ Reboot the server to complete the installation of the drivers.
		❑ Checkpoint — For a SAN, verify the server connections to the switch by
		checking the LED(s) for the switch port connected to each HBA port.
		For a 1-Gbit switch - LED is green, which indicates that the HBA is logged
		in to the switch port.
		For a 2-Gbit switch - One of the following:
		• Only the left LED is green, which indicates that a 1-Gbit HBA port is
		logged in to the switch port.
		• Both LEDs are green, which indicates that a 2-Gbit HBA port is logged in
		to the switch port.
3	Switches	❑ Verify that the servers and SPs are connected to the switch.	Documentation that
	Connect servers		ships with the switches
	and SPs
4	Switches	For a SAN	Switch documentation
	Zone	❑ Zone the switches to provide a path from each host initiator to an SP.
5	Server	❑ Make sure each HBA sees only the targets (SPs) to which it is zoned with	HP-UX documentation
	Make target SPs	the following HP-UX commands:
	available	ioscan -fnC disk
		insf -e
		❑ Checkpoint - Reverify that HP-UX sees device entries for all LUNS with
		the following HP-UX command:
		ioscan -fnC disk
