4. Install a Firewall (Optional)
If you will be installing a firewall, ensure that the service ports required
by HP Clustered File System are open. Contact HP Technical Support for
more information about the service ports used by HP Clustered File
System.
Repeat steps 1–4 on each server that will be in the cluster.
5. Configure the Storage Array
Perform the initial configuration of the storage array as described in the
product documentation.
If you are using a non-HP array, check with your HP representative
and/or third-party array vendor for additional information.
6. Install MPIO Software (Optional)
For information about HP’s MPIO software, refer to the SAN Connection
Guide document on the desktop.
Information about HP’s MPIO software for Windows and Windows
Storage Server is located at:

If you are using third-party (non-HP) MPIO software, install it according
to the product documentation.
