HP Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE) provides proactive remote m onitoring, diagnostics,
and troubleshooting to help you enhance the availability of your servers, as well as
storage and network devices. The ISEE software is located on the storage server in the
c:\hpnas\components\ISEE folder. For more information, go to the HP web site:

HP Services provides service tools that notify you when a significant system event has or will o ccur. These
tools, WEBES System Event Analyzer (SEA) and OSEM, are used both as part of the ISEE remote ser vice
offering and as standalone tools to HP service customers. They are designed to send a notification
only when an event or series of events has occurred that require service action. They are not intended
to be real-time system state monitors that trigger with every event. Most system components have the
capability of sending hundreds of state events during normal operation. SEA a n d OSEM are designed
to filter these component events and only notify customers and /or HP Services when action n ee ds to
be taken to resolve or prevent an outage. As designed they will not report a ll events. Other utilities
are available to monitor real time system state. The software is lo cated on the storage ser ver in the
c:\hpnas\components\OSEM and c:\hpnas\components\WEBES folders.

About this guide
1 Installing and configuring the
server
Setup overview
Your HP ProLiant Storage Server comes preinstalled with either the Windows® Storage Server™ 2003
R2 operating system or the Microsoft® Windows® Unified Data Storage Server 2003, Enterprise x64
Edition operating system.
Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 extends the Windows Storage Server 2003 operating
system, providing a more efficient way to manage and control access to local and remote resources. In
addition, Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 provides a scalable, security-enhanced Web p latform for
simplified branch server management, improved identity and access management, and more efficient
storage management.
Microsoft® Windows® Unified Data Storage Server 2003, Enterprise x64 Edition operating system
provides unified storage server management capabilities, simplified setup and management of storage
and shared folders, and support for Microsoft iSCSI Software Target.
IMPORTANT:
For more information about Microsoft® Windows® Unified Data Storage Server 2003 operating system,
see "Enterprise storage servers"onpage93.
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 a n access method to connect to the storage
server. The type of net work access you select is determined by whether or not the network has a D ynamic
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 iLO 2 methods. If your network
does not have a DHCP server, you must access the storage server through the direct attachment method.
NOTE:
The direct attachment method requires a display, keyboard, and mouse.

Planning a network configuration
You use the Rapid Startup Wizard to configure your storage ser ver. This wizard is displayed automatically
when you first start your system. Before you run the Rapid Startup Wizard, it is helpful to gather the
network configuration information you need, including:
• User name and administrator password (the system provides you with defaults you need to change)
• E-mail addresses to set up system alerts
• SNMP settings
• Local area network (LAN) configuration settings

Using the Integrated Lights-Out 2 method
Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) is HP's fourth g eneration 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 t wo 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 p rovides advanced remote administration functionality as a
licensed option, which is included with the ProLiant Storage Server.
HP ProLiant Storage Server 23
TheIntegratedLights-Outportonthestorageservercanbeconfigured 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 H P 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 found 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,
follow the steps below
