On most new systems
Install the drivers ( mostly it is there if that is an IBM supplied hardware).
Install the HBA ( hot plug ) , no need to shutdown the box.
cfgmgr
Plug in the Fibre cables from the HBAs to the SAN.
Zone them
Make sure the Storage system can see the HBAs (HBA logged into the fabric).
Mask/Map the required SAN devices to the HBAs.
Install MP device driver ( may need a reboot if not already installed )
Run cfgmgr ..

NAME
scsimgr_fcd - Fibre Channel interface driver fcd plug-in for scsimgr
DESCRIPTION
The Fibre Channel interface driver plug-in for implements management operations specific to fibre channel HBA controllers bound to driver
is the native HP-UX Fibre Channel interface driver that manages fibre channel devices.
The plug-in handles the following operations for driver
o Get, set and save per driver instance attributes.
Commands
The user can explicitly send the following commands to the driver plug-in by specifying the instance#> HBA controller hardware path>
instance#> option:
Displays information on attributes.
Saves value of attributes in a persistent store.
Sets values of attributes.
Refer to scsimgr(1M) for the syntax of these commands.
automatically invokes the plug-in to perform the driver specific part of the operation when the operation applies to per driver instances.
Attributes
The following table lists driver specific attributes. For details on the concept of attributes refer to scsimgr(1M).
