You and the HP service representative each play a role in installation. The HP service representative
is responsible for installing the disk array and formatting the disk devices. You are responsible for
configuring the host server for the new devices with assistance from the HP service representative.

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 the XP7 Remote Web Console, XP7 Command View Advanced
Edition, or XP7 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 XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Software or the XP7 Remote Web Console (shown)
to define paths between hosts and volumes (LUNs) in the disk array.
