About This Guide
This Integrated HP NetRAID Controller Configuration Guide helps you plan and
configure your HP NetRAID system. It guides you through power-up, launching
the HP NetServer Navigator software, configuring the HP NetRAID system, and
installing a NOS-specific configuration utility. It contains a glossary, and an
appendix contains worksheets to use in planning the configuration of physical
and logical drives.
Fill in the worksheets in Appendix B as you read this guide and make your
configuration decisions. The worksheets contain the information you need to
enter into the HP NetRAID Assistant configuration utility launched by the
HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM. The pencil icon in the margin is a reminder
to log your configuration choices on the worksheets.
The Integrated HP NetRAID Controller Configuration Guide is intended to be
used in conjunction with your HP NetServer documentation. Refer to your system
documentation for details such as cable product numbers and I/O slot boot order.
If you are setting up your HP NetServer for the first time,
• For HP NetServer LH 3/3r and LH 4/4r, begin with the HP NetServer
installation road map that came with your system. Return to this guide
when the roadmap instructs you to configure the mass storage subsystem.
• For HP NetServer LH 3000/3000r, LH 6000/6000r, and LT 6000r,
begin with the HP NetServer installation guide that came with your
system. Return to this guide when the installation guide instructs you to
configure the mass storage subsystem.
