Installing and configuring the disk array

The HP service representative performs these tasks:
Assembling hardware and installing software
Loading the microcode updates
Installing and formatting devices
After these tasks are finished, use Remote Web Console, Command View Advanced Edition, or
Array Manager to complete the remaining disk array configuration tasks. If you do not have these
programs, your HP service representative can perform these tasks for you.

Defining the paths

Use Command View Advanced Edition or Remote Web Console to define paths between hosts
and volumes (LUNs) in the disk array.
