1 Product Overview This chapter describes the configuration options and setup and configuration dependencies and requirements for the StorageWorks NAS B2000 by Compaq. Configuration Options The NAS B2000 offers both internal and external storage options. It ships with an integrated SCSI-3 Smart Array 5i Controller for internal storage.
Product Overview Managing the NAS B2000 The NAS B2000 is configured at the factory with default system settings and with the NAS operating system installed. Storage, however, is not pre-configured, allowing the NAS administrator to tailor the organization and configuration of the storage to specific environmental needs. Refer to the “Storage Management” section later in this chapter for more information.
Product Overview Dependencies and Requirements Specific conditions must be met in order for the NAS B2000 to operate. Storage Requirements To protect against data loss from hard drive failure, arrays should be configured with fault tolerance in mind. Several fault tolerance methods have been devised and are described in the StorageWorks by Compaq NAS B2000 Administration Guide.
Product Overview Deploying the NAS B2000 on the Network The default shipping configuration contains two 10/100 integrated network interface controller (NIC) ports for client data access. These data ports also allow access to the Web user interface (WebUI) that accompanies the product. It is from the WebUI that most management and administrative procedures can be accomplished. An additional management port for remote console and diagnostics is provided off the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition board.

Product Overview 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.
Product Overview 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 VR is required reading material for the NAS administrator. This section develops the concepts and requirements that serve as the basis for successfully using a StorageWorks NAS device.

Product Overview Storage Elements The lowest level of storage management on the NAS B2000 occurs at the physical drive level. Physical drives are grouped into RAID arrays for fault tolerance and better performance. The end user should configure RAID arrays using ACU. Refer to the administration guide for more details on creating RAID arrays.
Product Overview • All the units that make up a pool should have the same high-availability characteristics (RAID levels and striping methods). If one LUN member of the pool goes offline, the entire pool is unavailable. File System Elements Virtual disks are formatted with NTFS with drive letter assignments or mount point assignments. Refer to the administration guide for more details on file system elements.
2 Before You Begin This chapter describes the preinitialization and configuration tasks required for the StorageWorks NAS B2000. Preinitialization Before beginning the installation process, verify that the hardware installation is complete. Verify that the NAS B2000 is completely installed in the rack and that all cables and cords are connected. The setup utility documented here and in the next section only provide basic setup for the network components of the NAS B2000.

3 Configuration Setup This chapter provides information about configuring the StorageWorks NAS B2000 using the online method. Before completing the tasks in this chapter, verify that the NAS B2000 is installed in the rack and that all cables and cords are connected. It is also necessary to collect certain information required during the configuration process, as mentioned in Chapter 2, “Before You Begin.
Configuration Setup WebUI Configuration The NAS B2000 includes a WebUI that is designed to be a graphical, easy-to-use application that gathers the necessary information for configuration. The WebUI may be accessed through two methods: • Through auto discovery mode using the RapidLaunch utility • By host name Auto Discovery Method (Via RapidLaunch) The NAS B2000 includes a RapidLaunch CD that can run on any Windows-based PC using Internet Explorer 5.5 (or later).
Configuration Setup Procedure To initialize the NAS B2000 using the WebUI configuration application: 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 B2000 and the corresponding network segments, in accordance with the information in the “Configuration Information” section in Chapter 2. See Figure 3-1 and Table 3-1 for the locations of the network ports on the NAS B2000. 2.

Configuration Setup Direct Access Method (Using Hostname) The NAS B2000 ships by default with DHCP enabled on the network port. If the system is placed on a DHCP serviced network and the serial number of the device is known, it can be accessed through a client running Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 (or later) on that network, using the 3201 port of the device. The serial number may be found behind the front bezel of the NAS B2000, as illustrated in Figure 3-6.
Configuration Setup Procedure To initialize the NAS B2000 using the WebUI configuration application: 1. Connect the Ethernet cables to the respective network ports of the NAS B2000 and the corresponding network segments in accordance with the information in the “Configuration Information” section in Chapter 2. See Figure 3-1 and Table 3-1 for the locations of the network ports on the NAS B2000. 2. Go to the NAS device and power it on.
Configuration Setup Completing the System Configuration After the configuration process, there are additional tasks required in order to begin sharing files on the network. All procedures for the configuration tasks may be found in the NAS B2000 administration guide.
