HP XP7 Disk Array Configuration Guide (H6F56-96003)

Defining the paths
Use the XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Software or the XP7 Remote Web Console (shown)
to define paths between hosts and volumes (LUNs) in the disk array.
This process is also called “LUN mapping.” In the XP7 Remote Web Console, LUN mapping
includes:
• Configuring ports
• Enabling LUN security on the ports
• Creating host groups
• Assigning Fibre Channel adapter WWNs to host groups
• Mapping volumes (LDEVs) to host groups (by assigning LUNs)
In XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Software, LUN mapping includes:
• Configuring ports
• Creating storage groups
• Mapping volumes and WWN/host access permissions to the storage groups
For details see the HP XP7 Provisioning for Open Systems User Guide. Note the LUNs and their
ports, WWNs, nicknames, and LDEVs for later use in verifying host and device configuration.
Setting the host mode and host group mode for the disk array ports
After the disk array is installed, you must set the host mode for each host group that is configured
on a disk array port to match the host OS. Set the host mode using LUN Manager in the XP7
Remote Web Console (shown) or XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Software. If these are
not available, the HP service representative can set the host mode using the SVP. The host mode
setting for HP-UX is 08.
