Configuring HP Storage Adapter for HP XP P9000 Storage Arrays

Fibre channel connectivity to HP Storage Provider

To manage the SAP instances running on the HP XP P9000 storage arrays, HP Storage Provider
must be installed on Windows platform. There must exist a FC (Fibre Channel) connectivity between
the servers where the HP Storage Provider and HP XP P9000 Storage arrays are installed.

HP Storage Provider and HP XP P9000 Storage array communicate with each other using a
command device. So you must export the command device to the server where HP Storage Provider
is installed. However, if the server is a virtual machine, then the command device must be a raw
device mapped to the guest VM machine. For more information about creating and exporting a
command device to a host, see the HP P9000 Remote Web Console User Guide.

Use the XPInfo tool to verify connectivity between HP Storage Adapter and the HP Storage array.

To configure HP Storage arrays that have to be managed by SAP NW LVM:
