Planning for installation
Before you install your HP ProLiant Storage Server, you need to make a few decisions.
Determining a network access method
Before beginning setup and startup procedures, decide upon an access method to connect to the
storage server. The type of network access you select is determined by whether or not the network
has a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. If the network has a DHCP server, you
can access the storage server through the direct attachment, remote browser, Remote Desktop, or
remote management methods. If your network does not have a DHCP server, you must access the
storage server through the direct attachment method.
HP ProLiant Storage Server 17
NOTE:
The direct attachment method requires a display, keyboard, and mouse.

NOTE:
The HDDs included with the ML110 G5 2 HDD 320 GB SATA storage server are configured for software
RAID fault tolerance using the motherboard SATA controllers. In the event of a hard disk failure, user
intervention is required to rebuild the arrays. Microsoft Disk Manager is used to present the HDDs to the
system as dynamic disks. The primary OS logical drive resides on physical disk 1 and is mirrored on
physical disk 2. The data volume is the second logical drive mirroring the remaining space on disk 1 with
disk 2.
NOTE:
The hardware RAID configuration information listed for the DL380 G5 applies to all DL380 G5 models
except for the DL380 G5 1.16 TB SAS model.
NOTE:
In the HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU), logical disks are labeled 1 and 2. In Microsoft Disk Manager,
logical disks are displayed as 0 and 1. For HP Smart Array configuration information, see
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantstorage/arraycontrollers/.
The DON’T ERASE logical disk supports the recovery process only and does not host a secondary
operating system. If the operating system has a failure that might result from corrupt system files, a
corrupt registry, or the system hangs during boot, see “System recovery” on page 153.
If the data volume is not carved at the factory or during the installation process, it must be configured
manually by the end user. Be sure to back up your user data, and then use the System Recovery DVD
to restore the server to the factory default state as soon as conveniently possible.
Default boot sequence
The BIOS supports the following default boot sequence:
1. DVD-ROM
2. HDD
3. PXE (network boot)
Under normal circumstances, the storage servers boot up from the OS logical drive.
• If the system experiences a drive failure, the drive displays an amber disk failure LED.
• If a single drive failure occurs, it is transparent to the OS.
Accessing the HP Storage Server Management console
Before accessing the HP Storage Server Management console, verify that the storage server is
completely installed in the rack and that all cables and cords are connected.

“Configuring the server on the network” on page 30.
Installing and configuring the server26
Logging off and disconnecting
Remote Desktop provides two options when closing a client; you can either disconnect or log off the
system.
Disconnecting leaves the session running on the server. You can reconnect to the server and resume
the session. If you are performing a task on the server, you can start the task and disconnect from the
session. Later, you can log back on the server, re-enter the session, and either resume the task or
check results. This is especially helpful when operating over a remote connection on a long-distance
toll line.
Ending the session is known as logging off. Logging off ends the session running on the server. Any
applications running within the session are closed, and unsaved changes made to open files will be
lost. The next time you log onto the server, a new session is created.
Remote Desktop requires that all connecting users be authenticated, which is why users must log on
each time they start a session.
Telnet Server
Telnet Server is a utility that lets users connect to machines, log on, and obtain a command prompt
remotely. Telnet Server is preinstalled on the storage server but must be activated before use.
CAUTION:
For security reasons, the Telnet Server is disabled by default. The service needs to be modified to enable
access to the storage server with Telnet.
Enabling Telnet Server
The Telnet Server service needs to be enabled prior to its access. The service can be enabled by
opening the services MMC:
1. Select Start > Run, and then enter services.msc.
2. Locate and right-click the Telnet service and then select Properties.
3. Choose one of the following:

Using the Integrated Lights-Out 2 method
Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) is HP's fourth generation of Lights-Out management technology that
allows you to perform virtually any system administrator or maintenance task remotely as if you were
using its keyboard; mouse; monitor; power button; and floppy, CD or USB key, whether or not the
server is operating. It is available in two forms, iLO 2 Standard and iLO 2 Advanced. iLO 2 Standard
provides basic system board management functions, diagnostics and essential Lights-Out functionality
on supported ProLiant servers. iLO 2 Advanced provides advanced remote administration functionality
as a licensed option, which is included with the ProLiant Storage Server.
The Integrated Lights-Out port on the storage server can be configured through the Rapid Startup
Wizard or through the iLO 2 ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). SNMP is enabled and the Insight
Management Agents are preinstalled.
The HP iLO 2 management processor provides multiple ways to configure, update, operate, and
manage servers remotely. The HP ProLiant Storage Server comes preconfigured with iLO 2 default
factory settings including a default user account and password. These settings can be found on the
iLO 2 Default Network Settings tag on the front of the server. If iLO 2 is connected to a network
running DNS and DHCP, you can use it immediately without changing any settings.
For more information on using HP iLO 2, see the HP Integrated Lights-Out 2 User Guide.
To quickly set up iLO 2 using the default settings for iLO 2 Standard and iLO 2 Advanced features on
DL380 G5, and DL585 G2 Storage Servers, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that a network cable is connected to the iLO 2 port located on the back of the storage
server.
NOTE:
This connection method is easiest when the connection is to a DHCP and DNS supported
network.
2. If you are not using dynamic DHCP (IP addressing), you will need to input a static IP address by
using the direct attach method and the iLO 2 RBSU.
