Beyond Initial Setup
Connecting to the SAN
The e7000 v2 is designed to connect to all HP SAN storage including Modular
SAN Array 1000 (MSA1000), Modular Arrays, Virtual Arrays (VA), Disk Arrays
XP, and Enterprise Virtual Arrays. The SAN Connection Tool included in the HP
Utilities tab of the Web UI provides all of the necessary steps for connecting to the
various HP SANs.
SAN Connection Tool
The SAN Connection Tool will aid in connecting to SAN storage. Prior to running
the SAN Connection Tool, check the HP website (www.hp.com) for possible
updates.
The first screen of the SAN Connection Tool includes an overview and a checklist
of items that are required for successful connection to the storage. Subsequent
screens include SAN storage selection and the selection of the type of fiber path
desired. Lastly, the final screen provides all of the necessary steps required to
successfully connect to the SAN.

Context-sensitive help for the SAN Connection Tool can be obtained by
selecting the question mark (?) at the far right of the primary navigation bar.
Online help includes steps for flashing FCA2101 firmware.
Do not connect fiber cables until the tool indicates that the cables may be
attached.
The SAN Connection Tool only supports the FCA2101 HBA. If another
supported HBA is used, refer to that HBA's documentation for configuration
information.
When connecting to an MSA, the HP StorageWorks NAS only supports MSA
firmware version 2.38 and earlier. MSAs with a firmware version of 1.xx must
be flashed with the free upgrade to version 2.38 (available at www.hp.com).
This upgrade will need to occur before connecting the MSA to an HP
StorageWorks NAS device.
When connecting to an MSA1000, the FCA2101 firmware must be flashed to
3.82a1 prior to running the SAN Connection tool.
SecurePath (the multipath fiber software for the MSA1000) is included with
the HP StorageWorks NAS device.
