Configuration Setup 2 This chapter provides information about preinitialization, collecting information, and configuring the HP StorageWorks NAS 2000s 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 2000s 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 2000s. 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.
Table 3: Configuration Information Part A: To Be completed for DHCP and non-DHCP configurations Server Host Name: Integrated Lights-Out Name: Integrated Lights-Out Default User: Integrated Lights-Out Password: Note: If NIC teaming is to be implemented, determine which ports will be teamed. Configure these Ethernet ports for DHCP protocol. For more information, refer to the Ethernet teaming features and procedures section of administrative procedures in the administration guide.
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 Server 2003 Desktop. Note: The NAS 2000s is designed to be deployed without a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
Procedure To initialize the NAS 2000s: 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 2000s and the corresponding network segments. See Figure 3 and Table 2 on page 14 for the locations of the network ports on the NAS 2000s. Note: Connect a loopback cable to any of the NAS 2000s Ethernet ports that are not configured for use. 2.
Figure 4: RapidLaunch search screen 8. All the NAS devices found on the network are displayed as shown in Figure 5. 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 5: RapidLaunch device discovery screen 9. Select the unconfigured HP StorageWorks NAS 2000s 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. Click Yes in the Security Alert dialog to accept the security certificate. 11. Login to the WebUI. This launches the WebUI configuration application (Rapid Startup) on the target HP StorageWorks NAS device, as shown in Figure 7.
Remote Browser Method (Using Hostname) The NAS 2000s ships by default 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 behind the front bezel of the NAS 2000s, as illustrated in Figure 6.
Procedure To initialize the NAS 2000s: 1. Connect the Ethernet cables to the respective network ports of the NAS 2000s and the corresponding network segments. See Figure 3 and Table 2 on page 14 for the locations of the network ports on the NAS 2000s. 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.
Direct Attach Method You can access the WebUI using a monitor, mouse, and keyboard directly attached to the NAS 2000s. Procedure To initialize the NAS 2000s: 1. Connect the Ethernet cables to the respective network ports of the NAS 2000s and the corresponding network segments. 2. Connect the monitor, mouse, and keyboard directly to the rear panel connectors of the NAS 2000s. See Figure 3 and Table 2 on page 14 for the locations of the connectors on the NAS 2000s. 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 7. Figure 7: 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.
Figure 8: Rapid Startup configuration review screen 10. Click Finish to exit Rapid Startup. If a reboot is required, Rapid Startup displays a message that a reboot is occurring and the configuration information will be set. 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 Configure storage by creating disk arrays, logical disks, and volumes. 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 which appear as drives on the NAS server. Creating Disk Arrays To create disk arrays using the Array Configuration Utility (ACU) on the WebUI’s Disks tab: 1.
Creating Logical Disks Continue using the ACU to create logical disks from the array space: 1. Select the array previously created. 2. Select Create Logical Drive from the right pane of the ACU interface. 3. Complete the logical drive creation wizard to designate some or all of the array space as a logical disk. 4. Click Save and OK to continue 5. Exit the ACU. Depending on how many physical disks are included in the array, several different types of logical disks are possible.
Creating a Volume To create a Volume on the newly created logical disk: 1. Click the Disks tab and select Volumes. 2. Select the Manage... in the Task section. 3. Select Create New on the Manage Volumes page. 4. Log in to the Remote Desktop session as an administrator. 5. In the Disk Management interface, select one of the disk items representing the logical disk previously created with the ACU. 6. Complete the Initialize and Convert Disk Wizard. 7.
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 2000s Administration Guide. 34 ■ Configure shadow copies for creating point-in-time snapshots of data volumes.
