Figure 7 Finalize installation screen When the server boots from the HP ProLiant Data Protection Storage Server System Installation and Recovery DVD, a progress screen is displayed. CAUTION: Do not interrupt the reboot sequence; it takes a considerable amount of time during the copying files action. 4. By now you should have determined the access method for your storage server. For more information, see Planning for installation on page 13. 5.
Installing the server
3 Accessing the HP Data Protection Storage Server Management console Before accessing the HP Data Protection Storage Server Management console, verify that all cables and cords are connected to the Data Protection Storage Server. To access the HP Data Protection Storage Server Management console, you can use these access methods: Direct Attach Remote Browser Remote Desktop HP Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) To connect directly to the storage server without using the network.
To connect the storage server to a network using the Direct Attach method 1. Log in to the HP ProLiant Data Protection Storage Server with the default user name administrator and the password hpinvent. The HP ProLiant Data Protection Storage Server Management Console and the Rapid Startup Wizard start automatically. NOTE: You can change the administrator name and password when you configure the server using the Rapid Startup Wizard. See Rapid Startup Wizard on page 36. 2.
Figure 8 Internet options screen 2. On the Security screen, select Internet or Local intranet web content zone, then click Custom Level. 3. Scroll down to locate the ActiveX Controls and plug-ins settings. 4.

7. On the Internet Options dialog box, click OK to finish. To connect the storage server to a network using the Remote Browser method 1. On the remote client machine, open Internet Explorer and enter https:// and the serial number of the storage server followed by a hyphen (-), and then:3202. For example, https://D4059ABC3433-:3202. Press Enter. NOTE: If you are able to determine the IP address from your DHCP server, you can substitute the IP address for the serial number and hyphen. For example: 192.100.0.
1. On the PC client, select Start > Run. At Open, type mstsc, then click OK. 2. Enter the serial number of the storage server followed by a hyphen (-) in the Computer box and click Connect. For example, D4059ABC3433NOTE: If you are able to determine the IP address from your DHCP server, you can substitute the IP address for the serial number and hyphen (-). For example: 192.100.0.1 3. Log in to the HP ProLiant Data Protection Storage Server with the default user name administrator and the password hpinvent.
Using the Integrated Lights-Out 2 method The HP iLO 2 management processor provides multiple ways to configure, update, operate, and manage servers remotely. The HP ProLiant Data Protections Storage Server comes preconfigured with iLO 2 default factory settings, including a default user account and password. These setting can be found on the iLO Default Network Settings tag found on the back of the server.
To quickly set up iLO 2 using the default settings for iLO 2 Standard and iLO 2 Advanced features, follow the steps below. 1. Ensure that a network cable is connected to the iLO port (1) located on the back of the storage server. 1 5049 Figure 9 iLO connector port NOTE: This connection method is easiest when the connection is to a DHCP- and DNS-supported network. 2.
NOTE: To find the default iLO 2 login settings, see the iLO Default Network Settings card attached to your server. The default DNS, administrator name, and password needed to log in will be on this card. 4. Change the default user name and password on the administrator account to your predefined selections. 5. Set up your user accounts, if using the local accounts feature. 6. Activate the advanced features of iLO by entering a license key from the included iLO Advanced Pack. 7.
4 Configuring the server on the network Before you begin When first powering on the storage server you need to have some configuration data readily available to complete the Rapid Startup Wizard. Complete the Server configuration worksheet and use the data collected to initialize the storage server. Table 4 Server configuration worksheet Configuration Worksheet Administrative Identity User name Change system administrator’s user name, which is set by default to administrator.
Configuration Worksheet Contact person System administrator for the storage server. The contact and location will be provided to any SNMP management computer that requests them. System location Any text string, such as a location or phone number. For example, Floor #3, Financial Services Bldg. Community name No. 1 The community name is used for network authentication when sending outgoing SNMP messages. Trap destination No.
Configuration Worksheet Local area connection 2 Any additional local area connections can be renamed to prevent confusion. IP address Same as above. Subnet mask Same as above. Default gateway Same as above. iLO 2 settings Change the host name, IP settings, and administrator settings. DNS server A Domain Name System (DNS) server name is required to provide for domain name to IP address resolution.
Running the Rapid Startup Wizard The Rapid Startup Wizard is only displayed during the initial setup process. This wizard guides you through the configuration process.
