1 Introduction

This implementation guide provides the information you need to configure an HP 3PAR Storage

System with HP-UX 11i v2 or v3. General information is also provided on the basic steps required

to allocate storage on the HP 3PAR Storage System that can then be accessed by the HP-UX host.

The information contained in this implementation guide is the outcome of careful testing of the

HP 3PAR Storage System with as many representative hardware and software configurations as

possible.

REQUIRED

For predictable performance and results with your HP 3PAR Storage System, the information in

this guide must be used in concert with the documentation set provided by HP for the HP 3PAR

Storage System and the documentation provided by the vendor for their respective products.

Supported Configurations

Fibre Channel connections are supported between the HP 3PAR Storage System and HP-UX host

server.

For complete details on supported host configurations, consult the HP 3PAR InForm OS Configuration

Matrix, which is available on HP’s Business Support Center (BSC).

To obtain a copy of this documentation, go to http://www.hp.com/go/3par/, navigate to

your product page, click HP Support & Drivers, and then click Manuals.

InForm OS Upgrade Considerations

Refer to the InForm OS Upgrade Pre-Planning Guide for information and planning of an online

HP 3PAR InForm Operating System upgrade.

Audience

This implementation guide is intended for system and storage administrators who monitor and

direct system configurations and resource allocation for HP 3PAR Storage Systems. The tasks

described in this manual assume that the administrator is familiar with HP-UX 11i v2 or v3 and the

HP 3PAR InForm OS. Although this guide attempts to provide the basic information that is required

to establish communications between the HP 3PAR Storage System and the HP-UX host, and to

allocate the required storage for a given configuration, the appropriate HP 3PAR documentation

must be consulted in conjunction with the HP-UX host and HBA vendor documentation for specific

details and procedures.

NOTE: This implementation guide does NOT intend to reproduce any third-party product

documentation. For details about devices such as host servers, HBAs, fabric and Ethernet switches,

and non-HP 3PAR software management tools, consult the appropriate third-party documentation.
