window opens again and you click Install VSA for VMware ESX Server again to begin
the wizard.

server, and click Yes.

including the hard drives. See Table 2 (page 7).

When the installer is finished, the VSA is ready to be used in the HP P4000 SAN Solution.

group.
Installing the VSA OVF version
Import the VSA OVF version as a virtual appliance through the Virtual Infrastructure Client. When
you import the VSA you must perform the following tasks:
• Configure the data disk(s).
• Power on the VSA and set the IP address and host name of the VSA.
Configuring a data disk
