HP 6Gb SAS Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class - Manual (Page 17)

Configuring the switch
Key configuration tasks include:
1. Entering switch parameters. (Enabling or disabling Multi-initiator mode.)
2. Creating zone groups.
•
Switch-port zone groups: For shared SAS storage enclosures (P2000 G3 SAS MSA) and
tape libraries.
•
Drive-bay zone groups: For zoned SAS storage enclosures (D6000, MDS600, and
D2600/D2700).
3. Assigning zone groups to servers (c-Class enclosure device bays).
4. Capturing the configuration for safekeeping. HP strongly recommends this step, especially in
single-domain configurations.
The switch is configured using the HP 6G Virtual SAS Manager (VSM) application. For more
information on zoning and configuration tasks, see the HP 6G Virtual SAS Manager User Guide,
available on the HP 6Gb SAS BL Switch page of the HP Support Center website
nl ( http://www.hp.com/go/hpsc ).
