Configuring HP Storage Adapter for HP XP P9000 Storage Arrays
Fibre channel connectivity to HP Storage Provider
To manage the SAP instances running on the HP XP P9000 storage arrays, HP Storage Provider must be installed on Windows platform. There must exist a Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity between the servers where the HP Storage Provider and HP XP P9000 Storage arrays are installed.
HP Storage Provider and HP XP P9000 Storage array communicate with each other using a command device. So you must export the command device to the server where HP Storage Provider is installed. However, if the server is a virtual machine, then the command device must be a raw device mapped to the guest VM machine. For more information about creating and exporting a command device to a host, see the HP P9000 Remote Web Console User Guide.
Use the XPInfo tool to verify connectivity between HP Storage Adapter and the HP Storage array.
