Read the messages on the controller display panel
Each controller contains an integrated LCD panel. This panel displays informational and error
messages, shows the current status of the MSA, and provides an interface for user input. To verify
that your MSA is operating properly, use the arrow buttons on the LCD panel of the controller and
look for the following messages:
If the
Startup Complete message is not displayed:
• Check the cable connections to the MSA
• Check the availability of your power source
• Review the setup instructions in the previous sections of this guide
• Refer to the HP StorageWorks 1000 Modular Smart Array maintenance and service guide,
available on the Documentation CD and the Technical documents page of the MSA1000
website: http://www.hp.com/go/msa1000
.
Go to Table 10: ”MSA1000 information” on page 106 to record the controller firmware version.
Verify the operating status of the storage enclosures
To verify that your storage enclosures and hard drives are operating properly, view the enclosure
and hard drive LEDs and compare them with the patterns described in the documentation for these
devices.
If the LEDs indicate a fault, see the documentation that came with the enclosure for help.
Table 7 MSA1000 startup messages
Message Meaning
Startup Complete The array controller has completed its
power-on sequence and is operational.

controller exists. This message is expected,
because, although you have physically
installed the HBA in the server, you have not
yet installed the drivers for the HBA and the
MSA.
You may safely ignore this message.
SAN Switch 2/8 <IP Address> If an MSA SAN Switch 2/8 is installed in the
MSA
1000, this message will be displayed
after the power-on self-test for the switch is
completed.
