EZPilot installation prerequisites

Before installing the EZPilot software, be sure to:
• Record the switch IP address, gateway, and subnet mask.
You will use this information during installation.
• Uninitialize the storage system.
If it has been initialized, you must uninitialize it before installing EZPilot.
• Verify that the switch configuration (including the default password) has not been changed
from the factory default.
• Remove any Emulex or Brocade software installed on the server.
• Remove any MPIO software installed on the server.

System configuration recommendations

• The HP EVA4000 SAN Starter Kit provides a specific configuration for implementing a SAN
using an EVA4000 storage system. This configuration provides a simple SAN solution for
Windows. The EZPilot management software supports a broader range of configurations. Not
all configuration options discussed in the Emulex EZPilot User Manual apply to the HP EVA4000
SAN Starter Kit.
• If you require uninterrupted access to your data, add a second HP StorageWorks SAN Switch
4/8 base to create a high-availability SAN configuration. This dual fabric ensures that a switch
failure, EVA controller failure, or HBA failure will not interrupt EVA access. Contact HP for
information about ordering a second switch.
• Adding a second disk enclosure helps to create a high-availability SAN by providing protection
against disk enclosure failure. Contact HP for information about ordering additional disk
enclosures.
• To protect against power loss, HP recommends that you use uninterruptible power supplies
(UPS) with the EVA4000. For information about UPS products offered by HP, see the HP
Rack-mountable UPS website:
