Site Prep Tasks - HP StorageWorks XP10000 Disk Array Site Prep Manual

Site prep tasks

Contact your HP SR for assistance at any time during the site prep process.
1. If you have not printed a copy of this guide, HP recommends that you print at least
Chapter 2 and the "Site prep checklist". Working from printed copies makes it
easier to use the tools provided and provides hard copy documents that you can
keep for your records.
2.
Carefully review Chapter 2 to understand the site requirements for the disk array.
If you plan to connect additional external storage to the XP10000, be sure to
take the requirements of that storage into account. See the documentation for the
external system.
3.
Use the information, instructions, and tools in Chapter 2 to determine site
requirements for the specific disk array components you ordered.
4.
On the site prep checklist, answer each item "Yes" or "No" as it relates to your site.
The checklist includes references to the pages in this guide where you can find
more information on each item.
5.
Checklist items that require a "Yes" answer are marked with asterisks (*). If you
answer "No" for any of these items, your site does not meet site requirements for the
disk array. Using the information in Chapter 2, correct the site environment so that
you can answer "Yes" for each of these items.
6. When your site meets all site requirements, contact your HP SR to coordinate
delivery of the disk array equipment.
7.
If you choose to unpack the equipment cartons without HP supervision, follow the
instructions in Chapter 3.
8.
Contact the HP SR to schedule disk array installation and configuration.
