Description Task Resource
• If you add the networks from the Networks screen:
◦
For Type, select Fibre Channel
◦
For Fabric type, select Direct attach
•
For more information about networks, see “Managing networks and
network resources” (page 115) , the online help for the Networks screen,
or the REST API scripting help for networks and network sets.
1. Add the Fibre
Channel Direct attach
networks. Networks
• Choose a name for the logical interconnect group that helps you
distinguish logical interconnect groups that have connections to Direct
attach Fibre Channel networks from other logical interconnect groups.
•
You add uplink sets as part of creating the logical interconnect group.
Ensure that the uplink sets use the uplink ports on the enclosure that are
physically connected to the HP 3PAR Storage Server.
•
For more information about logical interconnect groups, see “Managing
interconnects, logical interconnects, and logical interconnect groups”
(page 121)
, the online help for the Logical Interconnect Groups screen,
or the REST API scripting help for logical interconnect groups.
2. Create a logical
interconnect group
that defines the uplink
sets for the Direct
attach network
connections. Logical
Interconnect
Groups
• Choose a name that helps you distinguish enclosures that use Direct
attach Fibre Channel connections from enclosures that use Fabric attach
Fibre Channel connections. 3. Create an enclosure
group. Enclosure
Groups
•
When you add the enclosure, select the enclosure group that you added
in the preceding step.
•
When you add an enclosure, you also must select a firmware baseline
and a licensing option.
•
For more information about enclosures, see “Managing enclosures and
enclosure groups” (page 131) , the online help for the Enclosures screen,
or the REST API scripting help for enclosures.
4. Add the enclosure. Enclosures
•
For a server blade to connect to the HP 3PAR Storage System, it must
have a server profile assigned to it, and that server profile must include
at least one connection to the Direct attach Fibre Channel network that
connects to the storage system.
•
For example, if the networks you added are FlatSAN A and
FlatSAN B
, ensure that the server profile has one connection to the
FlatSAN A network and one connection to the FlatSAN B network.
•
Server profiles contain much more configuration information than the
connections to networks. For more information about server profiles, see
“Managing servers and server profiles” (page 111) , the online help for
the Server Profiles screen, or the REST API scripting help for server
profiles.
5. Do one of the
following:
• Create a server
profile and assign
it to the server
hardware.
• Copy a server
profile, edit it as
necessary, and
then assign it to
the server
hardware.
Server Profiles
• For example, for each server profile, record the WWPN for the
FlatSAN A
and FlatSAN B Fibre Channel connections.
• For more information about server profiles, see “Managing servers and
server profiles” (page 111) , the online help for the Server Profiles screen,
or the REST API scripting help for server profiles.
• You use these WWPNs when you configure the HP 3PAR Storage System.
For more information about configuring the HP 3PAR Storage System,
see the documentation for that storage system.
6. Collect the WWPN
for the Direct attach
Fibre Channel
connections the server
profile you created in
the preceding step.
7. After you configure
the HP 3PAR Storage
System, power on the
server hardware.
