iSCSI Connections

To set up iSCSI connections:

Verify that your network supports 10-GB iSCSI connections.

Connect the host system to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system using multiple paths to
ensure that your HP 3PAR storage system remains available if a path fails.

Configuring iSCSI Connections

To access the iSCSI Host Configuration wizard and configure iSCSI connections, click the Configure
iSCSI host link in the SmartStart wizard.

Configure the Fibre Channel Host

Introduction to Configuring the Fibre Channel Host

To set up Fibre Channel connections, ensure that the host system and HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000
Storage system have two Fibre Channel connections. You can configure the Fibre Channel host if
you have only one connection, but if that connection stops functioning, the host will not be able to
access (read from or write data to) the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system.

For more information about setting up Fibre Channel connections, see the HP 3PAR Windows
Implementation Guide
. To access this document, go to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage site and
click the Support link for your product:

CAUTION:

The Fibre Channel Host Configuration wizard might require a reboot of the host

system. If the host system cannot be rebooted at this time, use the Fibre Channel Host Configuration
wizard to configure your Fibre Channel connections when a possible reboot is more convenient.
