CHAPTER
1
Before You Begin
The MSA2000 Family 2012fc Modular Smart Array and MSA2000 Driv e Enclosure are high-performance storage solution s that combine outstanding performance with high reliability, availability, flexibility, and manageability.
Supported configurations include a controller enclosur e with or without attached drive enclosures. A controller enclosure can contain two controller s that i nte rac t and provide failover capability for the data path. The controller enclosure can use SATA or SAS disk drive modules. Enclosures can be installed in standard 19-inch EIA rack cabinets.
This chapter provides information that you must know before installing and i nitiall y configuring your storage system:
■ “System Management Software” on page 12
■ “Hardware Components and LEDs” on page 13
■ “Installation Checklist” on page 23

System Management Software
Embedded management software includes a web-browser interface and the command-line interface described below.
HP StorageWorks MSA2000 Family Storage Management Utility (SMU)
SMU is the primary interface for configuring and managing the system. A web server resides in each controller module. SMU enables you to manage the system from a web browser that is properly configured and that can access a co ntroller module through an Ethernet connection.
Information about using SMU is in i ts online help and in the re f ere n ce g ui d e.
Command-Line Interface (CLI)
The embedded CLI enables you to configure and manage the system using individual commands or command scripts through an out-of-band RS-232 or Ethernet connection.
Information about using the CLI is in the CLI reference guide.
