NOTE: For configurations that are intended to have more than one host type (for example, an ESX host and a Windows host) connected to a shared HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage HBA port via fabric connections, see to the Heterogeneous Host Support Guide on the HP BSC website for the required HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage port settings and interoperability considerations:

NOTE: By default, the VMware ESX host supports failover. For failover support, VVs should be simultaneously exported down multiple paths to the host. To do this, create a host definition on the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage that includes the WWNs of multiple HBA ports on the hostand then export the VLUNs to that host definition.

Required

The following setup must be completed before connecting the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage port to a device.

Setting Up the Ports

Before connecting the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage to a host, the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage port persona must be specified. To set up the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage ports for a direct or fabric connection, issue the appropriate set of HP 3PAR OS CLI controlport commands for each port.

For direct connections, use persona 1 with VCN disabled.

#controlport persona 1 <node:slot:port>

#controlport vcn disable -f <node:slot:port>

Verify port persona 1, connection type loop, using the HP 3PAR OS CLI showport -parcommand.

For a fabric connection, use persona 7 with VCN disabled.

#controlport persona 7 <node:slot:port>

#controlport vcn disable -f <node:slot:port>

Verify port persona 7, connection type point, using the HP 3PAR OS CLI showport -parcommand.
