■ The Modular SAN Array 1000 Setup and Management Kit is shipped with the
MSA1000, but is not applicable for OpenVMS deployments. This kit is used
by Windows, Linux, and NetWare operating system environments.
■ To set up your OpenVMS system to recognize the MSA1000, you must obtain
the proper version of the operating system. Use your normal support channels
to obtain and load the new operating system.
■ If you plan to operate the MSA1000 in a redundant-controller configuration,
you must first download and install a FIBRE_SCSI remedial kit for your
operating system.
FIBRE_SCSI remedial kits are available for OpenVMS Alpha 7.3-1, 7.3, and
7.2-2 operating system versions.
You can download the remedial kits from the HP website or contact your
support representative to receive the remedial kits on media appropriate for
your system.
