6.3 HP StoreAll Storage Installation Guide (TA768-96085, April 2013)
4 Installing 9730 systems
The system is configured at the factory as follows:
• StoreAll OS version 6.2 is installed on the servers.
• LUNs are created and preformatted on the 9730 CX storage system.
• Depending on the system size, the 9730 system is partially or totally preracked and cabled.
NOTE: Four transit bracket are installed in the rack for stability during shipping (one bracket in
each corner of the rack). The transit brackets can remain in place or be removed after the 9730
installed. One of the brackets covers the power supply so if the power supply needs to be serviced,
the transit bracket will have to be removed. For more information about the transit brackets, see
the HP Intelligent Rack Family User Guide:

You will need the following information when you perform the installation:
• IP addresses as specified in “IP address requirements” (page 44).
• The administrator passwords for OA and VC. The default passwords are on the labels affixed
to the back of the chassis.
If you are performing the installation on an existing cluster, ensure that the same version of the
StoreAll software is installed on all nodes.
9730 network layouts
The 9730 supports four networking layouts. The default is to use a single, unified network for all
cluster and user traffic. The other layouts provide a dedicated management network, a user/cluster
network, and, optionally, additional user networks. To use a network layout other than the default,
you need to specify the number of networks needed when you run the 9730 Setup Wizard.
NOTE: Use layout 2 when adding an 9730 system to an existing 2-network StoreAll cluster.
See the HP StoreAll Storage Network Best Practices Guide for detailed information about the
network layouts.
