Installation 33
Further detailed information about determining I/O paths for Fibre Channel
disk arrays can be found in the HP e3000 Fibre Channel Mass Storage
Adapters Service and User Manual, and in the MPE/iX Release 7.5
Communicator article “Fibre Channel Device and Adapter Support on HP
e3000 Systems.”
1. With the system booted up, use IOCONFIG to configure the I/O paths
for the Fibre Channel HBAs (located at paths 0/4/0/0 and 0/6/0/0 in this
example):

2. Use fcscan –h to determine the SYSGEN I/O paths for the disk arrays
that are attached through HBAs at 0/4/0/0 and 0/6/0/0:
CSYLE18<PUB.SYS>:fcscan -h
