Installing SAS controllers or controller enclosures
When installing controllers or controller enclosures, be sure to do the following.
• Record information about the controller or controller enclosure that will connect to the disk
enclosure.
• Depending on your deployment, do one of the following:
For server connect deployments, install one or more Smart Array controllers in the
server that will access the disk enclosure.
◦
◦ For controller enclosure connect deployments, install or locate the controller enclosure
to which the disk enclosure will connect.
NOTE: For detailed installation and configuration information about controller cards or controller
enclosures, see the documentation provided with the controller card or controller enclosure.
Preparing the server
When preparing servers for the disk enclosure, be sure to do the following.
• Record information about the server and environment (server connect or controller enclosure
connect) that will connect to the disk enclosure.
• Verify that the servers, controllers, operating system version, and service packs are supported
for use with the disk enclosure. For more information, see the QuickSpecs for the disk
enclosure, available on the D3000 website.
• Install all operating-system-specific service packs, patch kits, or other required tools.
• Install Hewlett Packard Enterprise system management and monitoring tools, such as HPE
Systems Insight Manager (HPE-SIM) and the Array Configuration Utility (ACU).
NOTE: For detailed installation and configuration information about the server or the software
tools, see the documentation provided with the server or software.
