NAS b3000 v2 as a Single Device
The following describes how to configure the NAS b3000 v2 as a single device.
1. Configure the NAS device using Chapters 2 and 3 of this guide.
2. Identify the firmware, storage network topology (hub vs. switch), and storage
controller features in use on the SAN. Prior to connecting any fiber cables,
utilize the SAN Connection tool included in the HP Utilities Tab of the
WebUI to configure the HBA and corresponding pathing software.
3. This is an optional step. Install NIC teaming software and create fault
tolerant or load balanced network ports. Follow the recommendations found
in this guide and in the administration guide.
4. Connect the fiber channel cables to the storage switch or hub. If selective
storage presentation (SSP) is being used, the administrator will need to enable
the connections one at a time as the cables are connected.
5. Place the NAS device into an active directory or Windows NT 4.0 domain for
ease of manageability. This is not required for stand-alone systems, but it is
recommended.
6. While the system is online, assign the LUNs to the NAS device one at a time
so that they can be identified easily in Device Manager. See the procedure in
the storage management section of the administration guide.
