There seem to be some other issues here.

Start with a (free) nntp/news account on 
http://www.eternal-september.org and get yourself off of the Grog-adled 
Groups stuff.

Then, are you having issues with your FC SAN copies or related task?  
If you are engaging with HP support here, why?   HP very likely wants 
zoning for if/when you have piles of hosts on that FC SAN.  But you 
shouldn't be scanning the fabric - or the rest of the performance 
baggage - at all regularly, etc.
