HP P2000 G3 Installation Instructions Manual page 6

Step 5. Connect the P2000 G3 MSA System
to a remote management host
The remote management host directly manages systems
out-of-band over an Ethernet network. If included in your
environment, do the following to connect the P2000 G3
MSA System to a remote management host:
1. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the Ethernet
network management port on each P2000 G3 MSA
System controller.
2. Connect the other end of each Ethernet cable to a
network that your management host can access
(preferably on the same subnet).
Step 6. Connect two P2000 G3 FC MSA,
FC/iSCSI Combo MSA, or iSCSI MSA to
replicate volumes
If included in your environment, Remote Snap replication
is a licensed disaster-recovery feature that performs
asynchronous (batch) replication of block-level data from
a volume on a primary P2000 G3 MSA System to a
secondary volume on the same system or on a separate,
independent P2000 G3 MSA System. Two associated
master volumes form a replication set, with only the
primary volume (source of data) mapped for access by
a server. Both systems must be licensed to use replication
and must be connected through switches to the same
fabric or network (direct attach is not supported).
Cabling configuration possibilities are many, including:
Single-controller—Multiple servers/single
network/two switches
Dual-controller—Multiple servers/different
networks/multiple switches
Dual-controller—Multiple servers/single
network/single switch
For more information about Remote Snap and Remote
Snap cabling requirements and examples, see
"Connecting two storage systems to replicate volumes"
in the HP P2000 G3 MSA System User Guide for your
MSA model.
After the P2000 G3 MSA Systems are physically cabled,
see the HP P2000 G3 MSA System SMU Reference
Guide or online help for information about configuring,
provisioning, and using this optional Remote Snap
feature.
Step 7. Power on components
IMPORTANT: Important safety information about
power cords can be found on the Software
Support/Documentation DVD provided with your
MSA chassis. To locate this information look for
the Safety and Disposal guide located on the
Documents tab.
Apply power to the enclosures and associated server(s)
in the following order:
1. Connect the power cords from the rack to separate
external power sources.
2. Plug in each power supply module in attached,
cascaded drive enclosures to a power source in the
rack. If the drive enclosures have a power button,
apply power using the power switch on the rear of
the units. Wait one minute to ensure that all drives
are recognized by the array controller.
3. Plug in each power supply module in the P2000
G3 MSA array controller enclosure to a power
source in the rack. If the array controller enclosure
has a power button, apply power by using the
power switch on the rear of the unit.
4. Power on servers (if they are powered down for
maintenance purposes).
Step 8. Update firmware
After installing hardware and powering on components
for the first time, be sure to verify that the controller
modules, drive modules, and disk drives are running the
latest available firmware.
Using the Storage Management Utility (SMU), right-click
the system in the Configuration View panel and select
Tools > Update Firmware. This panel shows the currently
installed firmware versions and enables you to update
them.
To find and download the latest software and firmware
update for your product, go to the HP Downloads
website at http://www.hp.com/support/downloads.
Step 9. Configure the MSA
See the HP P2000 G3 MSA System User Guide, HP
P2000 G3 MSA System Reference Guide, and HP
P2000 G3 MSA System Cable Configuration Guide for
configuration and setup information.
