Chapter 3: Install PolyServe Matrix Server 13

5. Reboot the Server

Reboot the server. This step ensures that the registry is in a known good

most-recent state. You may also want to back up the current state of the

server (such as files, registry, and so on).

Repeat steps 1–5 on each server that will be in the matrix.

6. Install Emulex HBA API Libraries

This step is needed only if your servers use Emulex HBAs.

The HBA API libraries are provided with the HBAnyware package,

which is included in the HBA driver download. To ensure that the correct

libraries are available for Matrix Server, you will need to install the

HBAnyware package on each server that will be in the matrix.

7. Configure the Storage Array

Perform the initial configuration of the storage array as described in the

product documentation. If you will be using the XIOtech

MAGNITUDE

storage array, search for the document “PolyServe Data Management

Software - Configuring the XIOtech MAGNITUDE Array” on the

www.hp.com web site.

8. Install the iSCSI Initiator (iSCSI Configurations

Only)

Install the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator on each server according to the

product documentation.

9. Install Third-Party MPIO Software (Optional)

If you will be using third-party MPIO software, install it according to the

product documentation. Also check the PolyServe Business Support

Center web site for additional information:
