load balancing among processors, there is no reason not to use both ports in the I/O path of one

processor or to use both ports in the I/O path of a processor.

16-Port CHIP pair labeling

Port numbering is as follows: Cluster 1 uses CL1-* and CL3-*, while Cluster 2 uses CL2-* and CL4-*,

where * is an alphabetical character designation of the port such as A, B, C, and so on. Ports A, for

example, CL1-A and CL3-A, share the same processor for I/O purposes.

Host groups

Begin by grouping server hosts into host groups. For example, if HP-UX

®

and Windows hosts are

connected to the disk array, you must create a separate host group for each host type. When this is done,

register the hosts in their corresponding host groups. After hosts are classified into host groups, associate

the host groups with LUs.
In

Figure 4

, the host group hpux01 is associated with six LUs. LU paths are defined between the three hosts

in the hpux01 group (WWN_1, WWN_2, WWN_3) and the six logical units LUN00-LUN05.
