HP StorageWorks EVA iSCSI connectivity quick start instructions for Windows (5697-7442, March 2008)

Step 5. Connect t
he mpx100/100b to
an I P switch
1. Connect one end of a standard Cat 5e or Cat 6 network cable
to the MGMT port on the mpx100/100b (Figure 3). Connect the
other end to an IP switch in a network that is accessible from the
management server running Command View EVA.
2. Connect one end of another Cat 5e or Cat 6 net work cable to the
GE1 port on the mpx100/100b. Connect the other end to an IP
switch in a network that is accessible from the server(s) running
an iSCSI initiator.
Step 6. Start the mpx100/100b
1. Attach the AC power cord to the mpx100/100b and the power
distribution unit (PDU). Verify that the mpx100/100b system power
LED is illuminated. The mpx100/100b runs a self-test and b egins
normal operation.
2. Verify that the heartbeat LED is blinking (once per second) and that
