Installing MSA-specific components on the servers
Because these installation processes involve updating the server configuration, HP
recommends performing these tasks during inactive periods.
MSA-specific components include:
■ HBA drivers (and multipathing tool, if needed)
■ HP System Management Homepage
■ Array Configuration Utility (ACU)
■ Array Configuration Utility - Command Line Interface (ACU-CLI)
Note: If LUNs on the MSA are already being presented to the server (when performing
a server upgrade or move), disconnect the MSA from the SAN. If the MSA is
unconfigured, the MSA can be connected to the SAN.
To install these components on the server, do the following:
1. With the HBAs installed in the server, power on the server and start up the
Linux operating system.
2. From the console, log on as the root user.
3. Insert the Support Software CD in the CD-ROM drive of the server.
Note: If you created a new Support Software CD from the Web, insert that CD in the
CD-ROM drive of the server and do not use the shipping version of the CD. For more
information, see:
■ “Determine which version MSA controller firmware to use” on page 17
■ “Obtain desired controller firmware and Support Software CD versions” on page 61
4. Mount the CD-ROM drive and view the contents of the CD.
5. Locate and read the
readme.txt file to review notes and information that
supplement this guide.
