Step 4: Installing the HBA in your Servers

After you have confirmed that your servers are operating properly, you may install
the HBA for the MSA1000 in each of the servers. Because the MSA1000 can be
deployed into a variety of operating system environments and configurations
(including single-path and multi-path), specific HBA are required for the different
deployments.
To confirm that you have purchased the correct HBA for your configuration and
that you plan to use the right HBA firmware and drivers, review the MSA1000
Compatibility Guide, located on the MSA1000 Technical Documents Web page
http://www.hp.com/go/msa1000.
at
To install the HBA in the server, use the instructions that came with the HBA or
the server.
Go to Appendix C:
information about the HBA in the servers that will be connecting to the
MSA1000.
Some of the information about the HBA may be printed on the HBA or on its
shipping carton. If this information is not available now, you can obtain it later
through the MSA1000 Command Line Interface or by viewing the monitor to the
server during the server power-on self-test (POST) routine.
You will use this information about the HBA later, when connecting to the
MSA1000 and configuring your storage.

Caution: Do not power-on your server.
Please note that when it is time to power up the server, Windows will display a
"New Hardware Found" message and will prompt to install an HBA driver.
You must cancel out of this window or Windows will install an HBA driver that
is unsupported for use with the MSA1000.
You will install your HBA driver and additional MSA1000 dependencies in
MSA1000" on page 51.
