LPr (with NetRAID Local and Shared Storage)

A NetRAID adapter may only be used for either shared storage or local storage; one adapter may not be used for
both. To use NetRAID adapters for both shared and local storage, you must use two adapters.
Configure NetServer Hardware and BIOS
1. Make sure you power down System A and power up System B.
2. Insert the HP NetServer Navigator CD in the CD-ROM drive and restart the server.
3. If you have special NetServer local SCSI bus options enter the Symbios utility by pressing Ctrl+C at the
Symbios boot banner during boot and set the options you need; otherwise allow the server to boot. The
server boots from the CD and displays the Navigator Main Menu.
NOTE If prompted that the HP NetServer Navigator BIOS is a newer version, choose
Continue and go to step 4; otherwise go to step 6.

BIOS Update Utility. Select Execute and follow the screen prompts to update the BIOS.
5. After the server reboots, return to the Navigator main menu by clicking the Back button twice on the

MS Windows NT 4.0 Enterprise Edition, and No for automated NOS installation if
using Navigator L.15.04 or earlier.
7. Define the local storage RAID arrays. Select Configure Disk Array and use HP NetRAID
Assistant to define the arrays. Be sure to define the arrays for the local storage adapter (Adapter_0), not
the shared storage adapter (Adapter_1).
NOTE
DO NOT define the shared storage arrays at this time. They will be defined later.
8. Exit HP NetRAID Assistant. The server will reboot.
During the reboot, at the NetRAID banner press <Ctrl><M> to enter the NetRAID Express utility.

Partition.
