This checklist supports most MSA1000 configurations—from the simple to
the relatively complex. If your configuration is relatively simple, you will
only need some of the items on checklist. If your configuration is more
complex, you will need most of the items.
Note: Please note that this worksheet and the companion worksheets in the HP
StorageWorks MSA1000 Installation Guide are not prerequisites for installing your
MSA1000, but some of the information on the worksheets is required for zoning,
multi-pathing, future configuration changes, and troubleshooting purposes.

First, place a check in all of the left-most boxes in the checklist — these items are
required for all MSA1000 configurations.
Second, place a check next to any additional items needed for your configuration,
such as “Items for Multi-Path Configurations” and “Items for Clustered Servers”.

Go through the checklist and write down information about the items needed for
your MSA1000 configuration.
Gather and record as much information as you can, but be sure to find the
information for the items marked with an “*”.
Note: You do not need to complete the entire worksheet at this time. Some information is easiest
to obtain during the process of installing your MSA1000.

After you have indicated your MSA1000 configuration type and the items that you
need to use to install the MSA1000 in your SAN, you must verify that the items you
plan to use are approved for use with the MSA1000 in your operating system
environment.
Go to the MSA1000 website: http://www.hp.com/go/msa1000.
Locate, print, and read the MSA1000 Compatibility Guide on the Technical
Documentation page of the MSA1000 website to confirm your installation plans.
During this process, you may need to obtain some new items and adjust your plans.
Proceed with installing your MSA1000 only after obtaining all of
the necessary hardware and software components and verifying
that the models and versions you plan to use are supported.
