Networks

1. Add the Fibre

If you add the networks from the Networks screen:

 

Channel Direct attach

 

 

networks.

For Type, select Fibre Channel

 

 

For Fabric type, select Direct attach

Logical

Enclosures

4.

Add the enclosure.

Server Profiles 5. Do one of the following:

Create a server profile and assign it to the server hardware.

Copy a server profile, edit it as necessary, and then assign it to the server hardware.

For more information about networks, see “Managing networks and network resources” (page 115), the online help for the Networks screen, or the REST API scripting help for networks and network sets.

Choose a name for the logical interconnect group that helps you distinguish logical interconnect groups that have connections to Direct attach Fibre Channel networks from other logical interconnect groups.

You add uplink sets as part of creating the logical interconnect group. Ensure that the uplink sets use the uplink ports on the enclosure that are physically connected to the HP 3PAR Storage Server.

For more information about logical interconnect groups, see “Managing interconnects, logical interconnects, and logical interconnect groups” (page 121), the online help for the Logical Interconnect Groups screen, or the REST API scripting help for logical interconnect groups.

Choose a name that helps you distinguish enclosures that use Direct attach Fibre Channel connections from enclosures that use Fabric attach Fibre Channel connections.

When you add the enclosure, select the enclosure group that you added in the preceding step.

When you add an enclosure, you also must select a firmware baseline and a licensing option.

For more information about enclosures, see “Managing enclosures and enclosure groups” (page 131), the online help for the Enclosures screen, or the REST API scripting help for enclosures.

For a server blade to connect to the HP 3PAR Storage System, it must have a server profile assigned to it, and that server profile must include at least one connection to the Direct attach Fibre Channel network that connects to the storage system.

For example, if the networks you added are FlatSAN A and FlatSAN B, ensure that the server profile has one connection to the FlatSAN A network and one connection to the FlatSAN B network.

Server profiles contain much more configuration information than the connections to networks. For more information about server profiles, see “Managing servers and server profiles” (page 111), the online help for the Server Profiles screen, or the REST API scripting help for server profiles.

Server Profiles 6. Collect the WWPN for the Direct attach Fibre Channel connections the server profile you created in the preceding step.

7.After you configure the HP 3PAR Storage System, power on the server hardware.

For example, for each server profile, record the WWPN for the FlatSAN A and FlatSAN B Fibre Channel connections.

For more information about server profiles, see “Managing servers and server profiles” (page 111), the online help for the Server Profiles screen, or the REST API scripting help for server profiles.

You use these WWPNs when you configure the HP 3PAR Storage System. For more information about configuring the HP 3PAR Storage System, see the documentation for that storage system.
