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 disk array port to match the host OS.
Set the host mode using LUN M anager in Remote Web Console (shown), Command View (XP arrays
only), or Command View XP Advanced Edition. If these are not available, the HP service representative
can set the h
ost mode using the SVP.

CAUTION:
The correct host mode must be set for all new installations (newly connected ports) to Windows
2000
/2003 hosts. Do not select a mode other than 2C and 0C for Windows 200 0/2003. Changing a
hos
t mode after the host has been connected is disruptive and requires the server to be rebooted.
