Setup and Configuration Overview Setting up systems is a well-defined process. This section is intended as an overview of the process, not a detailed list of step-by-step instructions. Step-by-step procedures are documented in the administration guide. Some of the steps are driven by wizards within the WebUI. In either type of setup, it is important to read all of the supplied documentation before starting.
Storage Management Overview This section provides an overview of the components that make up the NAS storage structure. A complete discussion of the components and their relationships is available in the administration guide. Caution: This section on storage management and Windows DM is required reading material for the NAS administrator. This section develops the concepts and requirements that serve as the basis for successfully using an HP StorageWorks NAS device.
File System Elements File system elements are composed of the folders and subfolders that are created under each logical storage element (partitions, logical disks, and volumes). Folders are used to further subdivide the available file system providing another level of granularity for management of the information space. Each of these folders can contain separate permissions and share names that can be used for network access. Folders can be created for individual users, groups, projects, etc.
Configuration Setup 2 This chapter provides information about preinitialization, collecting information, and configuring the HP StorageWorks NAS 1200s using the online method. Details include three methods of system configuration and an overview of storage configuration. Preinitialization Before beginning the installation process, verify that the hardware installation is complete. Verify that the NAS 1200s is completely installed in the rack and that all cables and cords are connected.
Collect Information for Configuration Choose a host name and collect general information before initializing the NAS 1200s. Configuration Information Collect the general information required to initialize the NAS device for both dynamic host configuration protocols (DHCP) and non-DHCP configurations. You will be asked for this information during configuration, as shown in Table 3. Become familiar with this information before attempting to configure the NAS device.
WebUI Configuration The WebUI is designed to be a graphical, easy-to-use application that gathers the necessary information for configuration. The WebUI may be accessed through three methods: ■ RapidLaunch method ■ Remote Browser method (using hostname) ■ Direct Attach method Note: You can configure this system through the WebUI or manually through Remote Desktop or Windows Storage Server 2003 Desktop. Note: The NAS 1200s is designed to be deployed without a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
Procedure To initialize the NAS 1200s: Caution: Do not power up the NAS device until steps 1 through 5 are completed. 1. Connect the Ethernet cables to the respective network ports of the NAS 1200s and the corresponding network segments. See Figure 2 and Table 2 on page 19 for the locations of the network ports on the NAS 1200s. Note: Connect a loopback cable to any of the NAS 1200s Ethernet ports that are not configured for use. 2.
Figure 3: RapidLaunch search screen 8. All the NAS devices found on the network are displayed as shown in Figure 4. It may take several minutes for the NAS device to be found on the network. Note: The RapidLaunch utility will refresh periodically, looking for new devices on the network. Refresh the device list manually by selecting the Refresh button.
Figure 4: RapidLaunch device discovery screen 9. Select the unconfigured HP StorageWorks NAS 1200s device from the device list. If more than one displays, check the serial number in the System Name column by clicking the appropriate cell. 10. Login to the WebUI. This launches the WebUI configuration application (Rapid Startup) on the target HP StorageWorks NAS device, as shown in Figure 6. Note: The default login for the WebUI is administrator and the password is hpinvent.
Remote Browser Method (using Hostname) The NAS 1200s ships with DHCP enabled on the network port. If the system is placed on a DHCP enabled network and the serial number of the device is known, it can be accessed through a client running Internet Explorer 5.5 (or later) on that network, using the 3202 port of the device. The serial number is located below the power source on the back of the NAS 1200s, as illustrated in Figure 5.
2. Go to the NAS device and power it on. It will be several minutes before the NAS device is accessible on the network. Note: The NAS device will respond when the NAS operating system has started. 3. Open Internet Explorer on the PC. Enter https://, the serial number of the NAS 1200s followed by a hyphen (-), and then :3202. Press Enter. Example: https://D4059ABC3433-:3202 Note: Substitute the server name for the serial number if a server name was previously set. 4. Login to the WebUI.
Direct Attach Method You can access the WebUI using a monitor, mouse, and keyboard directly attached to the NAS 1200s. Procedure To initialize the NAS 1200s: 1. Connect the Ethernet cables to the respective network ports of the NAS 1200s and the corresponding network segments. 2. Connect the monitor, mouse, and keyboard directly to the rear panel connectors of the NAS 1200s. See Figure 2 and Table 2 on page 19 for the locations of the connectors on the NAS 1200s. 3.
Rapid Startup Wizard Configuration This utility will guide you through the configuration process. Requirements Ensure that an Internet Explorer window has been opened and the WebUI is at the Rapid Startup Wizard as shown in Figure 6. Figure 6: Rapid Startup wizard screen Note: The Rapid Startup Wizard will be the default page unless you complete the wizard or select the checkbox next to the text that reads, "Do not show this wizard as the default page.
Procedure Using the information from Table 3, fill in the screens that follow. 1. Select Next to start the Rapid Startup Wizard (There may be a slight pause because the wizard is gathering information about the system and populating the fields.) 2. Configure the Date and Time Settings. Select Next to continue. 3. Configure the Administrator Account settings. Select Next to continue. 4. Configure the Alert Email settings. Select Next to continue. 5. Configure the SNMP Settings. Select Next to continue. 6.
The browser will return to the status page. The refresh may take several minutes if the device was restarted. Note: Once the Rapid Startup Wizard has been completed the Welcome page will become the default page. Configure Storage Physical disks can be arranged as RAID arrays for fault tolerance and enhanced performance, then segmented into logical disks of appropriate sizes for particular storage needs. These logical disks then become the volumes that appear as drives on the NAS server.
Creating File Shares Once the storage space is set up, file shares are created by selecting an entire volume or a particular folder on a volume and designating that space as a network volume. That space is then available to groups of client computers on the network. The client computers access this space through a variety of file sharing protocols using the disk space to store their files and folders. 1. Click the Shares tab and select Shares. 2.
Basic Setup Complete This completes the basic configuration of the HP StorageWorks NAS system, however, some computing environments may require additional settings and configuration as noted below. Completing the System Configuration Most of these tasks can be completed using the HP StorageWorks NAS WebUI. All procedures for the configuration tasks may be found in the HP StorageWorks NAS 1200s Administration Guide. 36 ■ Configure shadow copies for creating point-in-time snapshots of data volumes.
