This checklist supports most MSA1000 configurations — from the simple

to the relatively complex. If your configuration is relatively simple, you

will only need some of the items on the checklist. If your configuration is

more complex, you will need most of the items.

Note: Please note that this worksheet and the companion worksheets in the HP

StorageWorks MSA1000 Installation Guide are not prerequisites for installing your

MSA1000, but some of the information on the worksheets is required for zoning,

multi-pathing, future configuration changes, and troubleshooting purposes.

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

required for all MSA1000 configurations.

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

such as “Items for Multi-Path Configurations” and “Items for Clustered Servers”.

Record information about the itemsRecord information about the items

Record information about the items

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

your MSA1000 configuration.

Gather and record as much information as you can, but be sure to find the

information for the items marked with an “*”.

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

to obtain during the process of installing your MSA1000.

After you have indicated your MSA1000 configuration type and the items that you

need to use to install the MSA1000 in your SAN, you must verify that the items you

plan to use are approved for use with the MSA1000 in your operating system

environment.

Go to the MSA1000 website: http://www.hp.com/go/msa1000.

Locate, print, and read the MSA1000 Compatibility Guide on the Technical

Documentation page of the MSA1000 website to confirm your installation plans.

During this process, you may need to obtain some new items and adjust your plans.

Proceed with installing your MSA1000 only after obtaining all of

the necessary hardware and software components and verifying

that the models and versions you plan to use are supported.
