Network Storage System could fail to operate properly.
Setting up the X9320 Network Storage System
Installation steps
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 perform any additional configuration of your cluster
and file systems. The management console GUI and CLI are used to perform most operations.
(Some of the features described here might have been configured for you as part of the system
installation.)
Cluster. Configure the following as needed:
Virtual interfaces for client access.
Failover for file serving nodes, network interfaces, and HBAs.
Cluster event notification through email or SNMP.
Management console backups.
NDMP backups.
These cluster features are described later in this guide.
File systems. Set up the following features as needed:
Additional file systems. Optionally, configure data tiering on the file systems to move files to
specific tiers based on file attributes.
NFS, CIFS, FTP, or HTTP. Configure the methods you will use to access file system data.
Quotas. Configure user, group, and directory tree quotas as needed.
Remote replication. Use this feature to replicate changes in a source file system on one cluster
to a target file system on either the same cluster or a second cluster.
