• Assigning Fibre Channel adapter WWNs to host groups
• Mapping volumes (LDEVs) to host groups (by assigning LUNs)
In XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Software, LUN mapping includes:
• Configuring ports
• Creating storage groups
• Mapping volumes and WWN/host access permissions to the storage groups
For details see the HP XP7 Provisioning for Open Systems User Guide. Note the LUNs and their
ports, WWNs, nicknames, and LDEVs for later use in verifying host and device configuration.
Setting the host mode and host group mode for the disk array ports
After the disk array is installed, you must set the host mode for each host group that is configured
on a disk array port to match the host OS. Set the host mode using LUN Manager in the XP7
Remote Web Console (shown). If the XP7 Remote Web Console is not available, the HP service
representative can set the host mode using the SVP. The host mode setting for VMware is 01 for
XP7 arrays or 21 if LUN expansion is used.
To make use of VMware VAAI features, enable the following host group modes (options) for
VMware show in the following table.

CAUTION: The correct host mode must be set for all new installations (newly connected ports)
to VMware hosts. Do not select a mode other than 01 or 21 for VMware. Changing a host mode
after the host has been connected is disruptive and requires the server to be rebooted.
