7 Installing the servers — SFS20 storage
NOTE: All of the software that is needed to operate the HP SFS system is installed from the
HP StorageWorks Scalable File Share System Software CD-ROM. You must not install any other software
on the HP SFS system, unless instructed to do so by HP. Installing other software is unsupported.
This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for installing an HP SFS system that uses SFS20 storage. For
