HP ProLiant ML310 G3 Storage Server Administration Guide (WSS R2 version, March 2006)

Setup completi
on
After the stora
ge server is physically set up and the basic config uration is established as described in the
HP ProLiant Storage Server installation guide, additional setup tasks must be completed. Depending on
the deployment scenario of the storage server, these steps can vary. These additional steps can include:
• Running Microsoft Windows Update— HP highly recommends that you run Microsoft Windows
updates to identify, review, and install the latest, applicable, critical security updates on the storage
server. For recommendations, instructions, and documentation to help manage the software
update, hotfix, and security patches process on the storage server, see Microsoft Software Updates
on HP ProLiant Storage Servers at h
ttp://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/storageservers.html.
• Creating a
nd managing users and groups—User and group information and permissions
determine
whether a user can access files. If the storage server is deployed into a workgroup
envi ronme
nt, this user and group information is stored locally on the device. By contrast, if the
storage s
erver is deployed i nto a domain environment, user and group information is stored
on the domain.
• Joining workgroup and domains—These are the two system environments for users and groups.
Because
users and groups in a domain environment are managed through standard Windows or
Active Directory domain administration methods, this document discusses only local users and
groups, which are stored and managed on the storage server. For information on managing users
and groups on a domain, refer to the domain documentation available on the Microsoft web site.
• Using E
thernet NIC teaming ( o ptional)—Sele ct models are equipped with an HP or Broadcom
NIC Tea
ming utility. The utility allows administrators to configure and m onitor Ethernet
netwo
rk interface controller (NIC ) teams in a Windows-based operating system. These teams
provi
de options for increasing fault tolerance and throughput. For more information, see "NIC
teaming" on page 123.
• Activating an iLO port using a license key—Select models include an iLO port. The Remote
Desktop feature of the iLO port requires a license key. The key is included with the product inside
the C
ountry Kit. Refer to the iLO Advanced License Pack for activation instructions.
• Installing third-party software applications—For example, these might include an antivirus
application that you install.
