Step 7: Install The Hba In Your Servers - HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 1500 cs Installation Manual

Step 7: Install the HBA in your servers

After you have confirmed that your servers are operating properly, install the HBA
for the MSA1500 cs in each of the servers that will access the MSA1500 cs.
Because the MSA1500 cs 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 purchased the correct HBA for your configuration, read the
MSA1500 cs Release Notes and the MSA1500 cs Compatibility Guide, located on
the MSA1500 cs Technical Documentation page at
http://www.hp.com/go/msa1500cs.
For information about installing the HBA, refer to the instructions that came with
the HBA or the server.
Go to
about the HBA in each server that will connect to the MSA1500 cs.
Some 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
Command Line Interface or by viewing the monitor connected to the server during
the server power-on self-test (POST).
