SP Wizard Step 1—Welcome
The Welcome page shows the information that is required to complete the wizard and set up
the SP.
The setup takes about 15 minutes.
1. Obtain the following information:
• 3PAR StoreServ Storage 10-digit serial number
NOTE: Legacy 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems used 7-digit serial numbers for
configuration. The 3PAR StoreServ 8000 Storage no longer has a 7-digit serial number,
but uses instead a 10-character serial number for configuration.
This requires up-to-date versions of HPE 3PAR SP and VSP software and of 3PAR
SmartStart.
• SP network configuration:
◦ The name to be assigned to the SP
◦ IP address (IPv4 only)
◦ Subnet mask and gateway, if you are using custom settings
◦ DNS settings
CAUTION: Do not enable DNS settings while you are initializing the system
software; the system will fail. See “3PAR StoreServ Storage Detection Issues”
(page 130)
You may need DNS settings later if you want to verify remote support connectivity.
To configure DNS settings manually after you have completed software initialization,
see “Service Processor Initialization” (page 90)
• Remote support:
◦ Proxy server settings (optional)
• Time and region:
◦ The current date and time or NTP server IP addresses, if you plan to use automatic
date/time configuration
◦ Time zone region (for example, America/Los Angeles)
