Configure the storage system

The HP Initial Configuration Tasks (ICT) window launches automatically at logon. Use the ICT to
perform setup tasks such as setting the time zone, network configuration, changing the computer
name, joining a domain, creating a virtual disk, and provisioning storage. For more information
on any of these tasks, click the help icon for the appropriate task group in the ICT window.
NOTE: Microsoft Storage Spaces are not supported on HP StoreEasy 1000 Storage.

Provisioning storage

Storage provisioning involves the following tasks:
Create storage pools
Create virtual disk
Create volumes
HP StoreEasy Pool Manager is used to create one or more storage pools from the internal drives
of the StoreEasy system. If any external storage enclosures are attached, Pool Manager is used to
create storage pools there as well. The internal drives of StoreEasy models 1430 and 1530 are
already pooled and contain the operating system, so no further pool management is necessary on
these drives.
Once storage pools have been created, File and Storage Services in Windows Server Manager
are used to create virtual disks and volumes.
NOTE: If changes are made to the storage configuration using a tool other than Windows Server
Manager, StoreEasy Pool Manager, or PowerShell Cmdlet, it will be necessary to update the
storage cache. Update the storage cache using one of the following methods:
Select Rediscover Storage from the HP StoreEasy desktop folder icon.
Open Windows Server Manager
Open PowerShell and run Update-StorageProviderCache.
NOTE: You may see a message when using the Provision Storage wizard indicating RAID6 is
not supported. The Smart Array controller that is used to control the operating system drives is not
licensed for RAID6. A RAID6 license is included with the system that is shipped from the factory
and the license key is delivered in printed form in the system packaging. If for some reason the
SmartArray controller is replaced, you must re-enter the license key. For instructions, see "Installing
the license key with ACU" in the Configuring Arrays on HP Smart Array Controllers Reference
Guide at http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00729544/
