and P711m/P712m controller worksheet” (page 67). These WWN are used in the SMU
or CLI when granting hosts access to the storage.
The WWNs of all P711m/P712m ports connected to each SAS BL switch are displayed
as “Device ID” on the Switch Port Mapping page in Onboard Administrator. (HP Onboard
Administrator user guide)
c. Enter P2000 G3 SAS MSA Array system parameters. (“Configuring the system” in the
HP P2000 G3 MSA System SMU Reference Guide)
d. Create vdisks and volumes using the SMU or CLI. For information, see “Creating a vdisk”
in the HP P2000 G3 MSA System SMU Reference Guide.
If the MSA is being used as the boot device for server blades, create the required volumes
on the MSA. For information, see Booting from shared storage with direct connect SAS
storage for HP BladeSystem and HP MSA2000sa on the MSA2000sa website.
e. (Recommended) Map each MSA volume to the servers that need access. For information,
see “Provisioning the system” in the HP P2000 G3 MSA System SMU Reference Guide.
For each MSA volume:
• Create a mapping to all WWNs of the server that needs access.
• Open access to the volume through all SAS ports on the P2000 G3 SAS MSA Array
controller.
Dual-domain configurations require at least two mappings per volume to each server.
11. The basic steps of installing the BladeSystem solution are complete. Additional configuration
steps may include:
• If the MSA is used as a boot device for server blades, configure the server blades properly
and then install the operating system. For information, see Booting from shared storage
with direct connect SAS storage for HP BladeSystem and HP MSA2012sa on the
MSA2000sa website.
• Complete network setup.
• Install software applications.
• Set up and configure clusters.
• Confirm multipathing software setup and configuration.
• Connect SAS cables from the switch to the Tape Library or Autoloader. For more
information about cabling Tape Libraries and Autoloaders, see “Tape library—basic
cabling” (page 62).
