Use the following procedure and refer to Figure 2-1 to install each enclosure into
the rack.
When positioning an enclosure in the rack, do not block the air vents at the front or
back of the enclosure.
Caution – If you only have one person to perform the installation, remove the
power and cooling modules and drive modules from an enclosure before
installation, and use the optional nylon front support brackets. If possible, position
the enclosure on top of another device or shelf in the rack to hold the enclosure as
you attach the front brackets.
1. Considering your system configuration and weigh t distribution in the rack,
determine where you will install each enclosure in the rack.
2. Confirm that you have cables of adequate length to connect to hosts and to power
outlets.
3. (Square-cut European-style racks only) Insert the cage nuts in the corresponding
holes on the front and rear of the rack.
4. (Optional-one person installation) Screw the front support brackets into position on
the rack face using #10-32 x 5/8-inch screws (two per bracket).
These brackets enable one person to easily position and support the front of the
enclosure in the rack during installation.
5. Attach the side brackets to each side of the enclosure using #8-32 x 3/16-inch
flathead screws (four to eight on each side). The right and left side brackets are
identical.
Note – To allow adjustment of the brackets, do not tighten the scre ws completely
until the enclosure is mounted in the rack.
a. Use the ali gnment marks (Figure 2-2) stamped into the sid e brackets to position
the brackets and screws. The alignment marks show depth in inches.
Determine the depth you require and align the rear-most alignment mark on the
side bracket with the rear-most threaded holes on the enclosure. Make sure that
the alignment mark corresponding to the depth you want lines up with both the
top and bottom holes.
Chapter 2 Installing and Cabling Enclosures 29
Figure 2-2 Side Bracket With Alignment Marks
b. On one side, insert the first two screws through the side bracket slots above and
below the alignment mark into the rear-most threaded holes in the enclosure.
For example, to mount the enclosure in a 28-inch deep rack, position the side
bracket so that the 28-inch alignment mark is aligned with the rear-most threaded
holes in the enclosure.
c. Insert up to six more screws throug h the side bracket slots into the other threaded
holes in the side of the enclosure.
d. Repeat Step b and Step c to attach the other side bracket to the enclosure.
6. Attach the rear brackets to the rear vertical posts of the rack using #10-32 x 5 /8-inch
screws (two per bracket).
7. Lift the enclosure and slide the side brackets into the rear brac kets, which are
attached to the rear posts.
Adjust the depth of the side brackets so that the slots nearest the ends of the side
brackets align with the four PEM nuts in the rear brackets.
8. Attach each side bracket to a rear bracket using #8-32 x 1/4-inch screws (four per
bracket).
9. Make sure that the enclosure is level and then secure the mounting ears on the front
of the enclosure to the rack face using #10-32 x 5/8-inch screws (two per ear).
10. Tighten the screws in the side brackets.
11. If you removed modules from the enclosure, reinsert them.
12. If you attached the optional front support nylon brackets to the rack face, remove
those brackets.
Note – When you finish installing an enclosure, you may have unused screws left
in your rack kit; extra screws are provided in case any are misplaced.

Use the supplied SAS cables to connect a controller enclosure to up to three drive
enclosures. Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-5 show the recommended fault-tolerant cabling
patterns. In an enclosure, the upper module is designated A and the lower module is
designated B.
When connecting multiple drive enclosures, use reverse cabling to ensure the
highest level of fault tolerance. For example, Figure 2-5 shows controller A
connected to expansion module 1A, and the chain of connections continuing down.
Controller B is connected to the lower module (B) of the last drive enclosure in the
chain, with connections moving in the opposite direction.
Fault-tolerant cabling is recommended b ecause it enables the controllers to access
remaining drive enclosures if any one drive enclosure fails. However, the system
also supports non-fault-tolerant cabling using the supplied SAS cables.
Figure 2-6 shows non-fault-tolerant cabling between a controller and up to three
drive enclosures.
Note – For clarity, the schematic illustrations of the controllers shown in this
section show only relevant details such as expansion ports. For detailed illustrations
showing all components, see “Hardware Components and LEDs” on page 13.

Obtaining IP Values for Your Storage System
Use the guidelines presented in this section when requesting or assigning IP values
for your storage system.
Ethernet Management Port
Use DHCP to obtain a different IP address for each Ethernet management port (one
each for controller A and controller B). If you do not have a DHCP server, you will
need to obtain the IP addresses from your network administrator, and set them using
the CLI during initial configuration (see “Setting Management Port IP Addresses
Using the CLI” on page 46).
To obtain the IP and gateway addresses for the Ethernet management port using
DHCP:
1. Look in the DCHP server’s address for the two IP addresses assigned to an “HP
StorageWorks MSA2000 Family” storage device.
2. Use a network management utility to discover “HP StorageWorks MSA2000
Family” storage devices on the local LAN through SNMP.
3. Use a
ping broadcast to try to identify the device through the host’s ARP table.
Data Host Ethernet Port
From your network administrator, obtain an IP address for each data host Ethernet
port that will be used for iSCSI connecti vity. You will use these IP addresses when
you configure data host ports (see “Configuring Data Host Ethernet Ports” on
page 52). Each Ethernet port on a data host should be assigned an IP address on a
different subnet.
iSCSI Host Ports
You will need to set IP and gateway addresses for each iSCSI host port on the
controller enclosure when you configure iSCSI Software Initiator settings (see
“Configuring the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator” on page 53).
Chapter 2 Installing and Cabling Enclosures 37
iSCSI host ports should be assigned IP addresses that are on one or the other subnet
to which data host ports are assigned. That is, one iSCSI host port on controller A
should be on the same subnet as one of the data host port s, with the o ther iSCSI host
port on the subnet as the other data host port, and likewise for controller B.
Correcting Enclosure IDs
When installing a system with drive enclosures attached, the enclosure IDs might
not agree with the physical cabling order. This is because the controller might have
been previously attached to some of the same enclosures and it attempts to preserve
the previous enclosure IDs if possible. To correct this condition, make sure that both
controllers are up and perform a rescan using SMU or the CLI. This will reorder the
enclosures, but can take up to two minutes for the enclosure IDs to be corrected.
To perform a rescan using the CLI, type the following command:
rescan
To rescan using SMU, as an Advanced Manage user:
1. Select Manage > Utilities > Disk Drive Utilities > Rescan.
2. In the Rescan For Devices panel, click Rescan.
Next Steps
Now you are ready to connect the data and management hosts, as described in
Chapter 3.

Connecting Hosts
This chapter describes how to connect data and management hosts to controller
enclosures. It contains the following sections:
■ “Host System Requirements” on page 39
■ “Connecting Data Hosts to Controller Enclosures” on page 41
■ “Connecting Remote Management Hosts” on page 43
■ “Next Steps” on page 43
Host System Requirements
Data hosts connected to MSA2000 Family 2012i Modular Smart Arrays must meet
the following requirements:
■ Systems must have two dedicated Ethernet ports available with either HBAs or
Ethernet adapters (NIC hardware) that support iSCSI connectivity.
■ For systems with iSCSI HBAs, install any HBA drivers required for your
system as specified in the MSA QuickSpecs. QuickSpecs can be found from
your HP MSA products page at
SAN Arrays, and then select your product. The link for QuickSpecs will be on
the right.
■ For systems using NIC hardware, you must install and configure the
Microsoft® iSCSI Software Initiator. For more information, see “Installing the
Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator” on page 40.
■ Depending on your system configuration, data host operating systems may
require that multipathing is supported. If a data host uses a single cable to attach
to the storage, then multipathing software is not required. If a data host uses
multiple cables to attach to the storage, and fault tolerance is expected, then
multipathing software is required.
To obtain the MSA2000 Family MPIO DSM, go to the HP MSA products page at
http://www.hp.com/go/msa. Select MSA SAN Arrays, select your product,
and go to Related products.

■ To prevent Microsoft Windows
®
data hosts from displaying the Found New
Hardware Wizard when the storage system is discovered, install the MSA2000
Family SCSI Enclosure Services driver. For more information, see “Installing the
MSA2000 Family SES Driver for Microsoft Windows Hosts” on page 41.
Installing the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator
Note – This section applies only to Microsoft Windows hosts that use Ethernet
adapters (NIC hardware) for iSCSI connectivity.
Installing the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator enables iSCSI connectivity on
Ethernet host ports. The software initiator must be installed in addition to standard
Microsoft Windows network and HBA drivers.
1. Locate and download the Micr osoft iSCSI Software Initiator (Version 2.06) for your
host system found at:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/
2. Install the software initiator as directed on the download site.
If the operating system on your data host supports MPIO, select Microsoft MPIO
Multipathing Support for iSCSI as an option when running the installation wizard.
3. Complete the installation on additional data hosts.
Note – After connecting data hosts to the storage system as described later in this
chapter, you must configure the iSCSI Software Initiator on each host. For more
information, see “Configuring the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator” on page 53.

Connecting Data Hosts to Controller Enclosures
This section explains how to connect the controller enclosure to data hosts through
Ethernet switches.
The controller enclosure has four host connections, two per controller. Connect
Ethernet cables from controller hosts ports to switch ports, and from switch ports to
data hosts, as shown in the following figure.
To maintain redundancy, connect each data host through the switch or switches to
both controller A and controller B. Make sure that link speed and topology settings
on switches match those on the controller host ports to which they are connected. A
speed mismatch prevents the host from accessing the storage system.
Note – For clarity, the schematic illustrations of the controllers shown in this
section show only relevant details such a s host ports. For detailed illustratio ns

Setting Management Port IP Addresses Using the CLI
Note – If you used DHCP to set the IP addresses, you do not have to set them using
the CLI as described in this sect ion.
Ethernet Management ports on controller module A and controller module B are
configured with the following default values:
■ Management Port IP Address: 10.0.0.2 (controller A), 10.0.0.3 (controller B)
■ IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
■ Gateway IP Address: 10.0.0.1
If the default IP addresses are not compatible with your network, you must set an IP
address for each management port using the command-line interface (CLI)
embedded in each controller module. The CLI enables you to access the system
using RS-232 communication and terminal emulation software.
Use the CLI commands described in the steps below to set the IP address for the
Ethernet management port on each controller module.
Once new IP addresses are set, you can change them as needed using SMU.
Note – Changing IP settings can cause management hosts to lose access to the
storage system.
1. Refer to the list of IP values you obtained before beginning installation (see
“Installation Checklist” on page 23).

5. Click OK to save the se settings.
6. Complete Step 3 through Step 5 for the second data host Ethernet port, selecting IP
addresses on the subnet not used for the first Ethernet port.
IP properties have been set for Ethernet ports on the data host.
7. Complete Step 1 to Step 6 on additional data hosts.
Configuring the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator
Now that you have connected data hosts to the storage system and set IP properties
for the controller Ethernet management port and data host Ethernet ports, you can
configure settings in the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator, which you installed
earlier on the data hosts.
Configuring these settings on each data host includes:
■ Setting IP addresses for each iSCSI host port (called a target portal) located on
the storage system
■ Logging on to iSCSI host ports on each controller module (called a target) from
the data host to initiate connectivity between the data host and the storage system
Note – Before completing the steps that follow, you must connect storage system
enclosures as described in “Installing and Cabling Enclosures” on page 25. You
must also install all software and drivers required on data hosts (see “Host System
Requirements” on page 39), and connect hosts to the storage system as described
earlier in this chapter (see “Connecting Hosts” on page 39).
1. Double-click the Microsoft iSCSI Softwa re Initiator icon located on the desktop of
the host system.
2. In the Target Portals area of the Discovery tab, click Add.
3. Enter the IP address of an iSCSI host port on your storage system, leave the Port
field set at 3260, and click Add.
4. Repeat Step 2 and Step 3, adding IP addresses for the remaining iSCSI host ports on
the storage system.
IP addresses for storage system host ports (targets) are identified on the data host.
5. On the Targets tab, verify that two targets have been configured (.a and .b).
If two targets are not configured, one or more of the following issues may need to
be resolved:
Chapter 4 Configuring a System for the First Time 53
■ Data host IP addresses may not be set correctly
■ Controller enclosure host port addresses may not be set correctly on the data host

9. Repeat tasks in Step 6, Step 7, and Step 8 for the second target.
54 HP 2012i Modular Smart Array user guide • January 2013
10. On the Persistent Targets tab, verify that two entries appear for each controller (.a
and .b) for a total of four connections.
Configuring more than one session per controller port will use additional host
interface resources and may cause failover to function improperly.
If two persistent targets are not configured for each controller host port, complete
the following steps to remove and reconfigure targets:
a. Selec t each entry and click Remove.
b. Log off for each connection by selecting Targets > Details > Sessions > Log Off.
c. Verify that IP addresses were set correctly. If not, correct IP address settings.
d. Log on again for each target using the instructions in this section, starting at
Step 2.
The data host can now communicate with the controllers through iSCSI Ethernet
host ports.
Editing Registry Values for Ethernet Adapters

Creating Virtual Disks
Two or more disk drives can be logically combined to form a virtual disk. The
combined storage capacity can then be partitioned into volumes. SMU provides both
manual and automatic methods for creating virtual disks, as described in its online
help and in the Administrator’s Guide.
As an example, the following steps use the manual method to create two virtual
disks with the following characteristics:
■ RAID 5, in which parity is distributed across all disk drives in the virtual disk
■ Five disk drives per virtual disk
■ One spare disk drive dedicated to each virtual disk
■ One volume per virtual disk, where the volume is not visible to data hosts
To create both virtual disks:
1. In SMU, select Manage > Virtual Disk Config > Create A Vdisk.
2. Select Manual Virtual Disk Creation (Detail-based).
3. Type a name for the virtual disk.
The name is case-sensitive and can i nclude 17 characters. Allowed charact ers
include letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores, and spaces.
4. Select RAID 5 – Parity RAID, Parity Distributed.
5. Click Create New Virtual Disk.
6. Select five drives of the same size and type (all SAS or all SATA).
7. For the dedicated spare drive option, select Yes and click Continue.
8. Select a drive to be the spare and click Continue.
9. For the number of volumes, select 1.
Notice that by default the volume will not be exposed to (accessible by) hosts.
10. Click Create Virtual Disk.
A page is displayed that shows the progress of initializi ng the virtual disk.
11. Click the li nk to create another virtual disk.
12. Repeat Step 2 to Step 10 to create a second virtual disk with a different name.
58 HP 2012i Modular Smart Array user guide • January 2013
Mapping a Data Host to a Volume
To enable a data host to access a volume you created, you must map th e volume to
the host. The host value, typical ly the IQN (iSCSI qualified name), of each host port
connected to the system is automatically added to the system’s global host port list.
Before mapping a data host to a volume you must identify the data host’s iSCSI
node name (IQN) and a LUN that the host is not using.
To map a data host to a volume:
1. Select Manage > Volume Management > Volume Mapping > Map Hosts To
Volume.
Notice that your first virtual disk and its volume are selected, and the volume’s host
mapping values are set to None.
2. In the Assign Host Access Privileges panel:
a. Select the host port IQN value that you identified before beginning.
b. Type the LUN that you identified.
Notice that the mapped host will have read-write access through all controller
host ports.
c. Click Map It.
Testing the Configuration
To determine that your system is ready fo r use, test the configuration as follows:
1. In SMU, select Monitor > Vdisk Status and view the configuration information for
each virtual disk.
The virtual disk status is Critical during initi alizatio n but yo u can perform I/ O to the
volume.
2. From the data host:
a. Make the volume an operating system partition.
b. Verify that you can access the mapped volume and the volume size shown on the
data host matches the size shown in SMU.
c. Verify that you can write data to the volume.
If the above tests succeed, your system is ready for use.
Chapter 4 Configuring a System for the First Time 59
3. Once you have determined that your system is ready for use, tighten the thumb
screws on all SAS cables.
4. Optionally, unmount the volume and delete the test vdisks.
Logging Out of SMU
If you do not log out of SMU when you have finished using it, other manage users
cannot log in to the same controller module and your IP address stays logged in for
30 minutes (the default auto-logout timeout setting).
To log out of SMU:
1. Click Log Off at the bottom of the menu.
The Log Off page is displayed.
2. Click Log Off.
Next Steps
You have completed the initial configuration tasks covered in this guide. For
