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 (and multipathing tool, if needed)
• HP System Management Homepage
• Array Configuration Utility (ACU)
• Array Configuration Utility - Command Line Interface (ACU-CLI)
NOTE: If LUNs on the MSA are already being presented to the server (when performing a server
upgrade or move), disconnect the MSA from the SAN. If the MSA is unconfigured, the MSA can be
connected to the SAN.
To install these components on the server:
1. With the HBAs installed in the server, power on the server and start up the Linux operating
system.
2. From the console, log on as the root user.
3. Insert the Support Software CD in the CD-ROM drive of the server.
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
4. Mount the CD-ROM drive and view the contents of the CD.
5. Locate and read the
readme.txt file to review notes and information that supplement this guide.
6. To install the HBA drivers:
CAUTION: Use only the Support Software CD to install the HBA drivers. Drivers for all
supported HBAs are included on the CD and are the only versions approved for use with the
MSA.
a. Navigate to the /RDP/Linux/ directory on the CD.
b. List the contents of the directory and navigate to either the Emulex or QLogic directory,
depending on the maker of your HBA.
c. Change to the CD directory for your operating system version and list the contents of the
directory.
