Configuring the Nodes
To configure the nodes:
1. Power up the storage system and wait for the controllers to initialize.
CAUTION: Always power up the Smart Array Cluster Storage system before
powering up the servers. It may take up to 2 minutes for the system to
completely power up. Wait until the display provides the “Startup Complete”
message.
2. Power up one of the servers.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the Option ROM Configuration for Arrays (ORCA) utility to
configure the Smart Array Cluster Storage system at this time. When directed, use ACU to
configure the system.
While the server boots, the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) and the ORCA
utility are automatically configured to prepare the server for the operating system
installation.
— To manually configure these utilities, go to step 3.
