Hardware Installation

Hi, my name is Frank Arrazate. I am with Hewlett Packard Welcome to the hardware and

software installation session for the HP StorageWorks MSA1000 Small Business SAN

Kit. Now when you place the order for Small Business SAN Kit, you’re going to receive

a nice big box. Inside this box are all the hardware components that are required to put

this configuration together. One of the nice things actually, really, probably one of the

really great things in this kit is your installation guide. This guide will actually walk you

from start to finish step for step for your hardware and software installation.

Now, let’s keep in mind one thing. When you order this kit, this is only for a non-

redundant, no failover capability solution. If your business requires high availability and

you need the redundant path and the failover functionality, you are going to have to order

the HA or the High Availability SAN Kit.

Now that we have received our hardware, let’s go ahead and pack everything and

put our configuration together.

So, now we have received our hardware kit, we have unpacked it and we have

actually installed it into the rack. So, what exactly did we do? We took the two Fibre

Channel adapters, installed one into each server. We installed the 8-port switch and we

have installed the MSA1000. That completes the hardware installation for the SAN kit.

Now, let’s move on to very simple step for step software installation utilizing the install

wizards.

Now, that we have completed the hardware installation, we are going to proceed with the

software installation. The software installation steps are included in configuration guide,

which is included with the kit. Once you put the CD into server the Install Anywhere is

preparing to install. This may take a few seconds while the wizards initialize. The SAN

wizard is now being configured for your system. The first screen is a welcome screen

and it also tells us that it has detected the HBA. So, we click “next”. Successful

installation by the wizard may require you to reboot your server. Click “next” to

continue. The driver installation is now in progress. This may take a couple of minutes.

The driver has now been installed successfully. It also tells you the version and is not

attempting to install the Fibre Channel HBA management agent. This may also take a

couple of minutes. As soon as it is competed, we will click “next” to move to the next

screen. The management agent was installed successfully. Now, the VDS software agent

is being installed. Your multi-path driver is being installed. The other nice thing about

the installation CD is it also contains hot fixes. That is what it is doing now. It has

completed; so, we will click “next” to continue. We will click “next” to continue to the

next window. Here is where I have a choice to use the server that I am currently on to

manage my SAN or I can select another server to manage the SAN. I will click “use this

server to manage my SAN” and click “next”.

So, now we are going to install the SANsurfer Express software. Click “next”. I

accept the terms of license agreement and click “next”. And now I’ll just click “install”.

So, SANsurfer is configuring the new software installation. The setup has already
