Figure 5 Cabling diagram: Server 1 and Server 2 connections to the MSA
This cabling configuration ensures that all LUNs remain available in the event of a controller failure.
Connect the storage servers and MSA to the network
After connecting the storage servers to the MSA, make the following power and network connections.
1. Connect the Server 1 NIC 1 connector to the network.
2. Connect the Server 2 NIC 1 connector to the network.
3. Using the crossover cable, connect the Server 1 NIC 2 connector to MSA Controller A NIC 1
connector.
4. Connect the power cords to power outlets.
Power on the storage components and log in
IMPORTANT:
Because the process of configuring the storage servers includes modifying storage server IP addresses,
HP recommends that you initially access the storage servers using either the direct connect or iLO 2
remote management method. If you use the Remote Desktop access method to change the storage
server IP addresses, you may be disconnected from the storage server and unable to continue the
cluster installation process.
1. Power on the storage components in the following order: MSA, Server 1, and then Server 2.
When powering on the storage servers for the first time, an HP ProLiant Storage Server installation
process is initiated. This process takes approximately 10–15 minutes and requires no user
interaction.
NOTE:
If using the direct connect access method, move on to step 3 of
“Set static IP addresses for each network connection” on page 15.
2. Locate the iLO 2 Network Settings tag attached to both storage servers and record the default
user name, password, and DNS name for each server.
3. From a remote computer, open a standard Web browser and enter the iLO 2 IP address of Server
1.
4. Using the default user information provided on the iLO 2 Network Settings tag, log on to Server
1.
5. Open a 2nd Web browser window and repeat the preceding steps for Server 2.
