HP hardware support services
HP Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE) provides proactive remote monitoring, 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:
http://h20219.www2.hp.com/services/cache/10707-0-0-225-121.aspx
HP Services provides service tools that notify you when a significant system event has or will occur. These tools, WEBES System Event Analyzer (SEA) and OSEM, are used both as part of the ISEE remote service 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 and OSEM are designed to filter these component events and only notify customers and/or HP Services when action needs to be taken to resolve or prevent an outage. As designed they will not report all events. Other utilities are available to monitor real time system state. The software is located on the storage server in the
c:\hpnas\components\OSEM and c:\hpnas\components\WEBES folders.
NOTE: These features are only available on the 300 or 500 series
ProLiant Storage Servers.

2 System Configuration
Before beginning the configuration process, verify that the storage server is completely installed and that all cables and cords are connected.
It is important to read all of the supplied documentation before starting. Relevant documents include:
HP ProLiant Storage Server installation instructions for your model
HP ProLiant Storage Server Administration Guide
HP ProLiant Storage Server Release Notes (if required, this document
will be available at
http://www.hp.com/go/servers
)
Deploying the storage server on the network
The default shipping configuration contains one or two 10/100/1000 integrated network interface controller (NIC) ports for client data access. NIC data ports also allow access to the WebUI that accompanies the product. Most management and administrative procedures can be accomplished via the WebUI.
IP networking and setup requirements
Windows-based PC running Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 (or later)
on the same network segment as the storage server; this will be used to set up and administer the storage server.
Additional Ethernet connection ports to client subnets (depending on
network options ordered).
16
System Configuration
Collecting configuration information
Choose a host name and collect general information required to initialize the storage server for either dynamic host configuration protocols (DHCP) or non-DHCP configurations. This information is needed during configuration, as shown in Table 4. Become familiar with this information before attempting to configure the storage server.

Windows Multilingual User Interface (MUI) on Storage Server Service Release DVD
The HP Storage Server Service Release 5.4 (or later) (SR) DVD includes Microsoft Windows Multilingual User Interface (MUI) Pack. The Windows MUI pack is a set of language specific resource files that can be added to the English version of Windows Server 2003. When installed on the English version of Windows, MUI allows the user interface language of the operating system to be changed according to the preferences of individual users. Languages included on the SR DVD: French, German, Italian, Spanish, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Portuguese (Brazil), Dutch, Swedish, and Japanese. For more information about MUI, visit the Microsoft web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/DrIntl/faqs/MUIFaq.mspx
To install Windows MUI (if desired):
1. Review the Windows MUI Read Me First document.
2. Before configuring the Proliant Storage Server, insert the Service
Release DVD into the DVD ROM drive on your Storage Server system.
3. The installation should begin automatically. If the setup does not begin
automatically, browse to the CD in Windows Explorer and double click on Setup.exe.
4. On the HP Storage Server Service Release menu, click on “Install
Service Release 5.4” to start the setup wizard and from the “Features Menu” select the appropriate MUI packs and follow the instructions to install them on the system. Do not select the Service Release items because they have already been installed on the storage server.
NOTE: Installing Windows MUI only localizes the Windows
operating system and does not localize the storage server WebUI or storage server-unique Help files.
