Configuring SAN Connection Manager for HP-UX and Emulex HBAs

SAN Connection Manager is compatible with the HP-UX operating system and Emulex HBAs when

configured as described in this section.

HP-UX configuration

SAN Connection Manager can manage all of your supported HP-UX servers. The HP-UX operating system

provides native software drivers for the HP FC HBAs. For the application to properly identify your server(s),

you must manually enter the FDMI information when the application prompts for it. For more information,

see

“Manually entering FDMI information,”

page 80.

Emulex HBA configuration

SAN Connection Manager can manage all of your supported Windows and Linux servers that have

Emulex HBAs installed. In order for the application to properly identify your server(s), you must set the
EnableFDMI

parameter on the Emulex HBA. Use the HBAnyware software to set the EnableFDMI

parameter to a value of 2.
For detailed instructions on how to enable the FDMI parameter on your Emulex HBA, see your HBA

documentation.
If FDMI is not enabled on the HBA, SAN Connection Manager will prompt you to manually enter the FDMI

information. For more information, see

“Manually entering FDMI information,”

page 80.

Installing SAN Connection Manager: upgrade installation

Use the HP SAN Connection Manager CD to upgrade a previous installation of the management software

on your management station as described in

“Windows installation: upgrade,”

page 18. Then use the

same CD to upgrade the HBA driver and other required software on each of the other servers in your SAN.

Depending on the server operating system for the non-management station installations, refer to either the

steps for

“Windows installation: upgrade,”

page 18 or

“Linux installation: upgrade,”

page 22.
