In order for the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system to dynamically discover host devices,
you must follow specific configuration instructions for the host operating system and HBA. See the
HP 3PAR Implementation Guides for recommended practices and detailed configuration information
about using your specific host devices with the storage system.

Each host connected to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system must use a host persona
with the SCSI Enclosure Services LUN (SESLun) enabled, or the Host Explorer agent cannot
communicate with the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system. If you upgraded from a version of the
