Step 2. Checking kit contents
The following items are included in the HP EVA4000 SAN Starter Kit.
Make sure you have all the items listed before beginning the installation.
• HP StorageWorks EVA4000 - includes two HSV200 controllers and
one disk enclosure, all preinstalled in the rack.
• HP StorageWorks 4/8 Base SAN Switch - provides connection
between the EVA4000 and the servers. Preinstalled and cabled
in the rack.
• Four HP StorageWorks FC2142SR 4 Gb PCI-e HBAs (LPe1150) –
installed in the servers connected to the EVA 4000
• HP EVA4000 SAN Starter Media Kit - includes Emulex EZPilot and
HP StorageWorks Command View EVA management software
• Fiber optic cables - used to connect the switch to the HBAs.
• 4GbSFPTransceivers-insertedintotheswitchports.
Step 3. Installi
ng HBAs
The H P FC2142SR HBA must be installed in a server PCIe slot. HBA
installation procedures vary by server, but the following procedure i s
typical.
1. Make sure the computer is powered off.
2. Remove the screws on the computer cover, and remove the cover.
3. Remove the blank panel from an empty x4 or higher PCIe bus slot.
4. Insert the H
BA into the empty PCIe slot. Press firmly to seat the HBA.
5. Secure the H
BA’s mounting bracket to the case with the panel clip.
6. Replace the
computer case and tighten the case screws.
Step 4. Connecting the hardware
The EVA4000 and the HP 4/8 Base SAN Switch are installed in the
rack and cabled before shipment. The only remaining task is to connect
a fiber optic cable from a port on the switch to each server HBA. The
non-high availability (HA) SAN connections used with the standard
product are shown in Figure 1. Thisistheconfi guration used in most
installations. The HA SAN connections used with an optional second
switch are shown in Figure 2.
NOTE:
There are 16 ports on the HP 4/8 Base SAN Switch, but only
ports 0 - 7 are licensed for use. Make sure you use one of these
ports when connecting the HBAs to the switch.
1. Remove the dust caps from the connectors on the SFP transceivers
and fibreopticcablesyouwillbeusing.
2. Install an SFP transceiver in an active switch port.
3. Connect a fiber optic cable between the SFP and a server HBA.
4. Repeat for each HBA connected to the switch.
Step 5. Powering on the components
1. Connect power to the rack.
2. Switch on the circuit breakers on both EVA rack power distribution
units. Verify that the d rive enclosure is operating properly. The
status indicator and the power indicator should be on (green).
3. Wait three minutes and verify that a ll disk drives are ready. The
drive ready indicator a nd th e drive online indicator should be on
(green).
4. Set the power switch on the rear of the upper controller to On.
5. Wait 10 seconds a nd then power on the lower controller.
6. When the controllers have completed their power on sequence,
enter the WWN and checksum using the following procedure.
