Installing MSA-specific components on the servers
Because these installation processes involve updating the server configuration, HP recommends
performing these tasks during inactive periods.
MSA-specific components include the following:
• HBA drivers
• Array Configuration Utility (ACU)
• Array Configuration Utility-Command Line Interface (ACU-CLI)
(The ACU-CLI is not supported on IA64 platforms.)
• Array Diagnostic Utility (ADU)
• HP MPIO Full Featured Device Specific Module (DSM)
• HP MPIO DSM (Device Specific Module) Manager
To install these components on the server:
1. With the HBAs installed in the server, power on the server and start your Windows operating
system.
NOTE: If the New Hardware Wizard is displayed, click Cancel to prevent installation of an
HBA driver that is unsupported for use with the MSA.
2. Insert the MSA Support Software CD in the CD-ROM drive of the server and let it auto-start the
installation program. If the CD does not start automatically, access the CD-ROM drive, browse
the directory of the CD, and execute the setup.exe file on the CD.
NOTE: If you created a new Support Software CD from the Web, insert that CD in the
CD-ROM drive of the server and do not use the shipping version of the CD. For more
information, see the following sections in this guide:
•”Determine which version of MSA controller firmware to use” on page 15
•”Obtain desired controller firmware and Support Software CD versions” on page 54
The installation program scans the server to identify the HBAs and determine which driver to
install. This scan may take a few moments.
3. When prompted, read and accept the license agreement.
