HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring Enterprise Install Console (T2558-96080, February 2008)

Adding servers by cloning

Once you have a server in the Install Console, you can clone that server in order to add additional servers. This saves time

because all of the fields on the Add Server dialog box are completed identically to the server you are cloning. You only have

to modify the fields required to make the server unique. See

Adding servers manually on page 3 for an explanation of each

server setting.

To clone a server, select

Server, Clone Server or right-click on the left pane and select Server, Clone. At a minimum, you

must change the Server Name. Modifications to other fields are dependent on your environment. Click OK to save the

settings and insert the server into the Install Console.

Adding servers by importing

If you have Storage Mirroring running in your environment and you have created server groups through the Management

Console, you can import the Management Console server group configuration file in order to populate servers in the Install

Console. This saves time because a list of multiple servers can quickly be created in the Install Console.

To import a server group configuration file, select

Server, Import Servers. Locate the .xml group configuration file on the

Storage Mirroring machine. This file is named by the user who was logged in when the group configuration was created. For

example, if the administrator was logged in when the group configuration was created, the file would be called

administrator.xml. Select the file and click OK. Enterprise Install Console will automatically insert each server from the

configuration file into the Install Console. You will be notified if any of the servers it is trying to insert are not available. After

the servers have been inserted, you need to modify each server to specify those fields that are not configured by default. See

Adding servers manually on page 3 for an explanation of each server setting.

Modifying server settings

After you have inserted a server in the Install Console, you can modify any of the server settings as needed. Select Server,

Modify Server or right-click on the left pane and select Server, Modify. The Modify Server dialog box contains the same

options as the Add Server dialog, except the Remote Server Name cannot be changed. See

Adding servers manually on page

3 for an explanation of each server setting.

Removing a server

If a server is no longer needed in the Install Console, you can remove it by selecting Server, Remove Server or right-click on

the left pane and select Server, Remove.

NOTE: You can reduce the manual modifications by setting server defaults. Select File, Edit Default Server and specify

any fields that will be identical on your different servers. When servers are imported, these defaults will be

used. The Edit Defaults dialog box contains the same options as the Add Server dialog, except the Remote

Server Name is not applicable.
