2 Getting started
IMPORTANT:
Do not modify any parameters of the operating system or kernel, or update any part of the X9300
Network Storage Gateway unless instructed to do so by HP; otherwise, the X9300 Network Storage
Gateway could fail to operate properly.
Setting up the X9300 Network Storage Gateway
Installation steps
The HP StorageWorks X9300 Network Storage Gateway is deployed at your site according to the
terms in your Statement of Work. See your Statement of Work for details.
Additional configuration steps
When your system is up and running, you can perform any additional configuration of your cluster
and file systems. The management console GUI and CLI are used to perform most operations. (Some
of the features described here might have been configured for you as part of the system installation.)
Cluster. Configure the following as needed:
• Virtual interfaces for client access.
• Failover for file serving nodes, network interfaces, and HBAs.
• Cluster event notification through email or SNMP.
• Management console backups.
• NDMP backups.
These cluster features are described later in this guide.
File systems. Set up the following features as needed:
• Additional file systems. Optionally, configure data tiering on the file systems to move files to spe-
cific tiers based on file attributes.
• NFS, CIFS, FTP, or HTTP. Configure the methods you will use to access file system data.
• Quotas. Configure user, group, and directory tree quotas as needed.
• Remote replication. Use this feature to replicate changes in a source file system on one cluster to
a target file system on either the same cluster or a second cluster.
• Snapshots. Use this feature to capture a point-in-time copy of a file system.
• File allocation. Use this feature to specify the manner in which segments are selected for storing
new files and directories.
For more information about these file system features, see the HP StorageWorks File Serving Software
File System User Guide.
