2 Getting started

IMPORTANT:
Do not modify any parameters of the operating system or kernel, or update any part of the
9320 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

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
