2 Getting started
IMPORTANT:
Do not modify any parameters of the operating system or kernel, or update any part of the
storage unless instructed to do so by HP; otherwise, the system could fail to operate properly.
File serving nodes are tuned for file serving operations. With the exception of supported
backup programs, do not run other applications directly on the nodes.
Setting up the system
Installation steps done by an HP service specialist
An HP service specialist sets up the system at your site, including the following tasks:
Remove the product from the shipping cartons that you have placed in the location where the
product will be installed, confirm the contents of each carton against the list of included items
and check for any physical damage to the exterior of the product, and connect the product
to the power and network provided by you.
Review your server, network, and storage environment relevant to the HP Enterprise NAS
product implementation to validate that prerequisites have been met.
Validate that your file system performance, availability, and manageability requirements have
not changed since the service planning phase. Finalize the HP Enterprise NAS product
implementation plan and software configuration.
Implement the documented and agreed-upon configuration based on the information you
provided on the pre-delivery checklist.
Document configuration details.
Additional configuration steps
When your system is up and running, you can continue configuring the cluster and file systems.
The Management Console and CLI are used to perform most operations. (Some features described
here may be configured for you as part of the system installation.)
Cluster. Configure the following as needed:
Firewall ports. See
HP Insight Remote Support and Phone Home. See
on StoreAll systems" (page
Virtual interfaces for client access. See

Cluster event notification through email or SNMP. See
(page
56).
Fusion Manager backups. See
NDMP backups. See
Performance Statistics tool. See the
Ibrix Collect. See
File systems. Set up the following features as needed:
NFS, SMB (Server Message Block), FTP, or HTTP. Configure the methods you will use to access
file system data.
Quotas. Configure user, group, and directory tree quotas as needed.
