3. Install the server blade.

4. Install the software on the server blade. The Quick Restore DVD is used for this purpose. See

Chapter 18 for more information.

5. Set up fail over. For more information, see the HP StorageWorks X9000 File Serving Software

User Guide.

6. Enable high availability (automated failover) by running the following command on server 1:

# ibrix_server –m

7. Discover storage on the server blade:

ibrix_pv -a

8. To enable health monitoring on the server blade, first unregister the vendor storage:

ibrix_vs -d -n <vendor storage name>

Next, re-register the vendor storage. In the command, <sysName> is, for example, x710. The

<hostlist> is a range inside square brackets, such as X710s[2–4]. If the first server (x710s1

in this example) is hosting the dedicated Management Server, do not include it in the

<hostlist>.

ibrix_vs -r -n <sysName> -t exds 172.16.1.1 -U exds -P <password> -h

9. If you made any other customizations to other servers, you may need to apply them to the newly

installed server.

Adding capacity blocks

Capacity blocks can be added to an existing system while the system is still running. One or more

capacity blocks can be added at a time, up to the point where the system has the maximum number

of capacity blocks.

Additional capacity blocks will be pre-provisioned in the factory with the standard LUN layout and

capacity block settings (for example, rebuild priority). Parity initialization will have completed on all

LUNs. The LUNs will be blank and will not have been formatted.

Instructions for adding a capacity block are shipped with the new capacity block and can also be

found at: http://www.hp.com/go/X9000/support, and then click the Manuals link.

After the new capacity block is physically installed in the rack and connected, use the following steps

to complete the installation:
