Verify the operating status of the Fibre Channel switches and adapters
To verify that your switches are operating properly, view the switch LEDs and compare them with
the patterns described in the documentation for these devices. If the LEDs indicate a fault, see the
documentation that came with the switch for help.
Optional Step: If you will be using Fibre Channel to attach the EVA to your existing servers, you
must install Fibre Channel adapters in those servers and test the Fibre Channel adapters prior to
installing HP P6000 Command View.
Ensure that you have the correct quantity and length of Fibre Channel cables available to attach
your servers to the EVA.
Installing Fibre Channel drivers
If you are using Windows, the HP P6000 SmartStart software automatically loads the required
Fibre Channel drivers. This occurs during this installation process when you run HP P6000
SmartStart.
For other operating systems, load the drivers as directed in (Configuring application servers) in
the HP 4400 Enterprise Virtual Array User Guide.
Configuring the embedded switch in an HSV300-S controller
The embedded switch in an HSV300-S controller has a default IP addresses that may not be visible
in your network. Any configuration changes must be made to both embedded switches in an
HSV300-S controller enclosure. This process involves connecting a cable from the Ethernet port of
each switch to a laptop computer and supplying switch addresses that are valid for your network.
NOTE:
For complete switch configuration and management instructions, see the HP Fabric OS
6.1.x administrator guide at: http://www.hp.com/support/manuals. Under Storage, click Disk
Storage Systems and then click HP 4400 Enterprise Virtual Array under EVA Disk Arrays.
To configure an embedded switch in an HSV300-S controller:
1.
Obtain a laptop and an Ethernet cable (straight-through or crossover type), and change the
IP address of the laptop to have an address in the same IP range as the embedded switch (for
example 10.77.77.79, with a subnet mask of: 255.255.255.0).
