2 Configuring the HP 3PAR Storage System for Fibre
Channel
This chapter describes how to establish a connection between an HP 3PAR Storage System and
HP-UX host using Fibre Channel and how to set up the fabric when running InForm OS 3.1.x, OS
2.3.x, or OS 2.2.x. For information on setting up the physical connection for a particular HP 3PAR
Storage System, see the appropriate HP 3PAR installation manual.
REQUIRED
If you are setting up a fabric along with your installation of the HP 3PAR Storage System, consult
“Setting Up and Zoning the Fabric” (page 9) before configuring or connecting your HP 3PAR
Storage System.
Configuring the HP 3PAR Storage System Running InForm OS 3.1.x and
OS 2.3.x
This section describes how to configure the HP 3PAR Storage System running InForm OS 3.1.x
and OS 2.3.x.
REQUIRED
The following setup must be completed before connecting the HP 3PAR Storage System port to a
device.
Configuring Ports for a Direct Connection
To configure HP 3PAR Storage System ports for a direct connection to the HP-UX host, complete
the following steps:
1. To set up the HP 3PAR Storage System ports for a direct connection, issue the following set
of commands with the appropriate parameters for each direct connect port:
a. controlport offline [node:slot:port]
b. controlport config host –ct loop [node:slot:port]
where -ct loop specifies a direct connection.
c. controlport rst [node:slot:port]
Example:
# controlport offline 1:5:1
# controlport config host -ct loop 1:5:1
# controlport rst 1:5:1
2. After all ports have been configured, verify that the ports are configured for a host in a direct
connection by issuing the showport -par command on the HP 3PAR Storage System.
# showport -par
