sequence.
3. Repeat this procedure for every node HP ProLiant DL585 in the hardware configuration.
Configuring Smart Arrays
On hardware models, such as the HP ProLiant DL585 with smart array cards, you must add the disks to
the smart array before attempting to image the node.
To do so, watch the screen carefully during the power-on self-test phase of the node, and press the F8 key
when prompted to configure the disks into the smart array.
Specific instructions are outside the scope of the HP XC documentation. See the documentation that came
with the HP ProLiant server for more information.
3.6.5 Preparing HP xw9300 Workstations
HP xw9300 workstations are typically used when the HP Scalable Visual Array (SVA) software is installed
and configured to interoperate on an HP XC system. Configuring an xw9300 workstation as the HP XC
head node is supported.
Figure 3-11 shows a rear view of the xw9300 workstation and the appropriate port connections for an HP
XC system.
