MSA1510i best practices
Frequently visit the MSA1510i web site:
http://h18006.www.1.hp.com/products/storageworks/msa1510i
This site is updated to include the latest information about your MSA,
including the latest hardware-firmware-software compatibility
information, controller firmware, iSCSI initiator and MPIO software,
and system documentation.
Sign up with Subscriber's Choice, to receive notifications and alerts
about the MSA1510i and other HP devices:
http://www.hp.com/go/e-updates
Review the latest MSA1510i compatibility guide before installing or
updating a software or driver component on your server, to ensure
that the updated configuration is supported. This guide is available
on the MSA1510i web site.
Frequently review the messages on the MSA1510i controller LCD
panel, to monitor the status of your MSA1510i.
If more than one server will access the MSA1510i:
- Set up VLANs to control initiator access to the targets.
- Enable mutual initiator and target iSCSI CHAP authentication.
- Create Access Control Lists (ACL), to control access at the LUN level.
Read the HP SAN design guide, to help you design a plan for your
MSA1510i and iSCSI network. This guide contains useful information
about setting up and managing a SAN or Network and is available
on the HP SAN Infrastructure web site:
Change the access permissions for the Storage Management Utility
(SMU) from the defaults to strong user-defined values, as soon as
possible.
