Perform the following steps to set up Fibre Channel.
To set up Fibre Channel
  1. Connect the Fibre Channel adapters and the shared storage devices to the same hub or switch.
All systems must see all the shared devices that are required to run the critical application. If you want to implement zoning for a fibre switch, make sure that no zoning prevents all systems from seeing all these shared devices.
  1. Reboot each system:
\# shutdown -Fr
  1. After all systems have booted, use the lspv command to verify that each system can see all shared devices needed by the application.
