1 Installing and configuring the server

Setup overview

The HP StorageWorks X1000 Network Storage System comes preinstalled with the Microsoft Windows® Storage Server™ 2008 Standard x64 Edition operating system with Microsoft iSCSI Software Target and HP X1000 Automated Storage Manager (HP ASM) included.

The HP StorageWorks X3000 Network Storage System comes preinstalled with the Microsoft Windows® Storage Server™ 2008 Enterprise x64 Edition operating system with Microsoft iSCSI Software Target and a Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) license included.

IMPORTANT:

•Windows Storage Server 2008 x64 operating systems are designed to support 32–bit applications without modification; however, any 32–bit applications that are run on these operating systems should be thoroughly tested before releasing the storage system to a production environment.

•Windows Storage Server x64 editions support only x64-based versions of Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins, not 32-bit versions.

Determine an access method

Before you install the storage system, you need to decide on an access method.

The type of 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 install the storage system through the direct attachment or remote management methods. If your network does not have a DHCP server, you must access the storage system through the direct attachment method.

The direct attachment method requires a display, keyboard, and mouse. These components are not provided with the storage system.

IMPORTANT:

Only the direct attach and remote management access methods can be used to install the storage system. After the storage system installation process is complete and the system's IP address has been assigned, you can then additionally use the remote browser and remote desktop methods to access the storage system.

Check kit contents

Remove the contents, making sure you have all the components listed below. If components are missing, contact HP technical support.

Complete system configuration

After the storage system is physically set up and the basic configuration is established, you must complete additional setup tasks. Depending on the deployment scenario of the storage system, these steps can vary. These additional steps can include:

•Running Microsoft Windows Update—HP highly recommends that you run Microsoft Windows updates to identify, review, and install the latest, applicable, critical security updates on the storage system.

•Creating and managing users and groups—User and group information and permissions determine whether a user can access files. If the storage system is deployed into a workgroup environment, this user and group information is stored locally on the device. By contrast, if the storage system is deployed into a domain environment, user and group information is stored on the domain.

•Joining workgroup and domains—These are the two system environments for users and groups. Because users and groups in a domain environment are managed through standard Windows or Active Directory domain administration methods, this document discusses only local users and groups, which are stored and managed on the storage system. For information on managing users and groups on a domain, see the domain documentation available on the Microsoft web site.

If the storage system is deployed in a domain environment, the domain controller will store new accounts on the domain; however, remote systems will store new accounts locally unless they are granted permissions to create accounts on the domain.

•Using Ethernet NIC teaming (optional)—Select models are equipped with an HP or Broadcom NIC Teaming utility. The utility allows administrators to configure and monitor Ethernet network interface controller (NIC) teams in a Windows-based operating system. These teams provide options for increasing fault tolerance and throughput.

•Activating iLO 2 Advanced features using a license key—The Remote Console feature of iLO 2 requires a license key. The key is included with the storage system inside the Country Kit. See the iLO 2 Advanced License Pack for activation instructions.

•Adjusting logging for system, application, and security events.

X1000 and X3000 Network Storage System

21

•Installing third-party software applications—For example, these might include an antivirus application that you install.

•Registering the server — To register the server, refer to the HP Registration website (http://register.hp.com).

Additional access methods

After the storage system installation process is complete and the system's IP address has been assigned, you can then additionally use the remote browser, Remote Desktop, and Telnet Server methods to access the storage system.

Using the remote browser method

The storage system ships with DHCP enabled on the network port. If the server is placed on a DHCP-enabled network and the IP address or server name is known, the server can be accessed through a client running Internet Explorer 5.5 (or later) on that network, using the TCP/IP 3202 port.

IMPORTANT:

Before you begin this procedure, ensure that you have the following:

•Windows-based PC loaded with Internet Explorer 5.5 (or later) on the same local network as the storage system

•DHCP-enabled network

•Server name or IP address of the storage system

To connect the server to a network using the remote browser method, ensure that the client is configured to download signed ActiveX controls.

To connect the storage system to a network using the remote browser method

1.On the remote client machine open Internet Explorer and enter https:// and the server name of the storage system followed by a hyphen (-), and then:3202. For example, https:// labserver-:3202. Press Enter.

NOTE:

If you are able to determine the IP address from your DHCP server, you can substitute the IP address for the server name. For example: 192.100.0.1:3202.

2.Click OK on the Security Alert prompt.

3.Log on to the storage system with the administrator user name and password.

IMPORTANT:

If you are using the remote browser method to access the storage system, always close the remote session before closing your Internet browser. Closing the Internet browser does not close the remote session. Failure to close your remote session impacts the limited number of remote sessions allowed on the storage system at any given time.

22 Installing and configuring the server

Using the Remote Desktop method

Remote Desktop provides the ability for you to log onto and remotely administer your server, giving you a method of managing it from any client. Installed for remote administration, Remote Desktop allows only two concurrent sessions. Leaving a session running takes up one license and can affect other users. If two sessions are running, additional users will be denied access.

To connect the storage system to a network using the Remote Desktop method

1.On the PC client, select Start > Run. At Open, type mstsc, then click OK.

2.Enter the IP address of the storage system in the Computer box and click Connect.

3.Log on to the storage system with the administrator user name and password.

Using the Telnet Server method

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 system 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 system with Telnet.

Enabling Telnet Server

The Telnet Server service needs to be enabled prior to its access.

1.In Server Manager, expand the Configuration node in the left panel.

2.Click System and Network Settings.

3.Under System Settings Configuration, click Telnet.

4.Check the Enable Telnet access to this server check box and then click OK.

Default storage settings

HP StorageWorks X1000 and X3000 Network Storage Systems are preconfigured with default storage settings. This section provides additional details about the preconfigured storage.

Physical configuration

The logical disks reside on physical drives as shown in the table below.

As of the SWX image version 1.2, the DON'T ERASE volume that was created on earlier versions of HP StorageWorks Network Storage System models is no longer used.

IMPORTANT:

The first two logical drives are configured for the storage system operating system.

X1000 and X3000 Network Storage System

23

The Operating System volume default factory settings can be customized after the operating system is up and running. The following settings can be changed:

•RAID level can be changed to any RAID level except RAID 0

•OS logical drive size can be changed to 40 GB or higher

If the Operating System volume is customized and the System Recovery DVD is run at a later time, the System Recovery process will maintain the custom settings as long as the above criteria are met (RAID level other than RAID 0 and OS logical drive size of 40 GB or higher) and the OS volume is labeled System. If the storage system arrays are deleted and the System Recovery DVD is run, the System Recovery process will configure the storage system using the factory default settings listed in the table below.

HP StorageWorks X1000 and X3000 Network Storage Systems do not include preconfigured data volumes. The administrator must configure data storage for the storage system. See

“Configuring data storage” on page 56 for more information.
