To start LUN Manager, take the following steps:
1. Start the Web browser.
2. Enter the following URL in the Web browser and then press the key. The Remote Web
Console login dialog box appears.
http://IP-address-of-main-SVP (Web server)
Note: If you are unsure of the IP address of the main SVP (Web server), ask the system
administrator.
3. In the Remote Web Console login dialog box, enter the user name and password and then
click the OK button.
The Remote Web Console main window appears.
4. On the menu bar, click Go, LUN Manager, and then LUN Manager.

see HP StorageWorks XP24000 Remote Web Console User's Guide.
Defining Fibre Channel LU Paths
If you are configuring a Fibre Channel environment, you must take the following four major steps:
1. Find worldwide names (WWNs) of host bus adapters connected to the Fibre Channel ports
(see “ Finding WWNs ” on page 33).
2. Create host groups (see “ Creating Host Groups ” on page 37).
3. Group open-system hosts by host group (see “ Registering Hosts in Host Groups ” on page 39).
4. Associate host groups with LUs (see
“ Defining LU Paths by Associating Host Groups to Logical Volumes ” on page 41).
Finding WWNs
If you are configuring a Fibre Channel environment, you must verify that Fibre Channel adapters and
Fibre Channel device drivers are installed on the open-system hosts. Next, you must find the worldwide
name (WWN) of the host bus adapter that is used in each open-system host. The WWN is a unique
identifier for a host bus adapter in a open-system host, consisting of 16 hexadecimal digits.
This section describes how to find the WWN of a host. HP recommends that you make a record of
WWNs of the hosts in your system, because you will need to enter WWNs in LUN Manager dialog
boxes to specify the hosts used in your system.
