Getting started

Use this worksheet to prepare for your installation.

This worksheet supports most configurations. If your configuration is simple, you need

only some of the items on the worksheet. If your configuration is more complex, you

need most of the items.

Note: This worksheet and the companion worksheets in the HP StorageWorks MSA1500 installation

guide are not prerequisites for installing your MSA1500, but some information on the worksheets is

required for zoning, multipathing, future configuration changes, and troubleshooting purposes.

Complete the following tasks on the Web

● Add the MSA1500 product page as a favorite in your browser.

This site (http://www.hp.com/go/msa1500cs) includes the latest information

about the MSA1500, including product specifications, compatibility information,

software and firmware downloads, user documents, and support advisories and

notifications.

● Sign up to automatically receive new advisories and notices.

This site (http://www.hp.com/go/e-updates) includes options to register for and

automatically receive, by e-mail, personalized product tips, update information,

driver- and support-related advisories, and other notices for this and other HP

devices.

● Review all old product advisories and notices.

To help you better plan for and successfully install your MSA1500, read all of the

outstanding customer advisories before installing the array. Advisories are

available on the Software, firmware, and drivers page of the MSA1500

website.

Check the boxes for the items you need

First, place a check in all of the left-most boxes in the checklist—these items are

required for all configurations.

Second, place a check next to any additional items needed for your configuration,

such as an additional controller or Fibre Channel I/O module for multipathing,

clustering software and hardware components, or additional servers or switches.

Record information about the items

Read through the checklist and write down information about the items needed for

your configuration. Record as much information as possible.

Items marked with an asterisk (*) are required.

Note: You do not need to complete the entire worksheet at this time. Some information is easier to

obtain during the installation.

Verify that your items are supported

After you have determined your configuration type and items you plan to use, verify

that these items are approved for use. Read the compatibility guide on the

Technical Documentation page of the MSA1500 website to confirm

compatibility of your hardware and software components.

Learn about the installation process

Now that you have determined which items are needed for your installation and

have confirmed their support, read the other side of this poster for an overview of the

installation process and some best practices.

module (to support an optional, redundant MSA controller installed in slot 2 on
