Hardware Installation
Hi, my name is Frank Arrazate. I am with Hewlett Packard Welcome to the hardware and
software installation session for the HP StorageWorks MSA1000 Small Business SAN
Kit. Now when you place the order for Small Business SAN Kit, you’re going to receive
a nice big box. Inside this box are all the hardware components that are required to put
this configuration together. One of the nice things actually, really, probably one of the
really great things in this kit is your installation guide. This guide will actually walk you
from start to finish step for step for your hardware and software installation.
Now, let’s keep in mind one thing. When you order this kit, this is only for a non-
redundant, no failover capability solution. If your business requires high availability and
you need the redundant path and the failover functionality, you are going to have to order
the HA or the High Availability SAN Kit.
Now that we have received our hardware, let’s go ahead and pack everything and
put our configuration together.
So, now we have received our hardware kit, we have unpacked it and we have
actually installed it into the rack. So, what exactly did we do? We took the two Fibre
Channel adapters, installed one into each server. We installed the 8-port switch and we
have installed the MSA1000. That completes the hardware installation for the SAN kit.
Now, let’s move on to very simple step for step software installation utilizing the install
wizards.
