26 MSA1000 Installation Guide
Step 3: Preparing your Servers
Depending on your plans, you will connect your MSA1000 to either new or
existing servers. In both scenarios, it is important that your servers are operating
properly before installing the HBA for the MSA1000.
Verify that the servers and operating systems that you plan to use are supported for
use with the MSA1000. For a list of servers and operating systems that are
supported for use with the MSA1000, read the HP StorageWorks MSA1000
Compatibility Guide, located on the MSA1000 Technical Documents Web page
at
http://www.hp.com/go/msa1000 .
If more than one server will access the MSA1000, HP recommends designating
one of the servers as a management server. It is on this server that you will load
management software (such as the ACU) and it is from this server that you will
perform your SAN management tasks.
For information about installing new servers, please refer to the instructions that
came with your server.
Note: Some software components on the server, such as Secure Path, must be installed
after installing and connecting the MSA1000 to the server.
If you are connecting the MSA1000 to an existing server, you must reinstall Secure Path
after installing the MSA1000.
Go to Appendix C: “My MSA1000 Worksheets” on page 97 and record
information about the servers that will connect to the MSA1000.
You will use this information later, when connecting to the MSA1000 and
configuring your storage.
