6.3 HP StoreAll Storage Installation Guide (TA768-96085, April 2013)

1 Installing 9300 and 9320 systems
The system is configured at the factory as follows:
• StoreAll OS software 6.2 is installed on the servers but is not configured
• For 9320 systems, LUNs are created and preformatted on the MSA storage system
You will need the following information when you perform the installation:
• One IP address per server to assign to the network bond
• One IP address per server to assign to the iLO interface
• One virtual IP address (VIF) to assign to the entire cluster for management use
• The IP addresses of your DNS servers
• The IP addresses of your NTP servers
If you are performing the installation on an existing cluster, ensure that the same version of the
StoreAll software is installed on all nodes.
Network information
In previous releases, 9300/9320 systems were set up with two networks:
• 1GbE models used the LOMs for the cluster and management networks and used the PCI card
as the user network.
• 10GbE models placed the cluster and user networks on the 10GbE cards and used the LOMs
as a management network.
By default, this release uses a unified network that incorporates cluster and user operations. There
is only one IP address per server by default, and the IP address exists on the public network. The
unified network creates bond0 on specific interfaces. For 10GigE systems, bond0 uses the
eth4/eth5 interfaces. For Quad GigE systems, bond0 uses interfaces eth4–eth7.
If necessary, you can create separate user and cluster networks, with bond0 as the cluster network
and bond1 as the user network. The initial installation configures bond0 on the default interfaces.
Later, you can customize bond0, selecting the correct interfaces for your network, and can then
define bond1. This procedure is described in detail later in this chapter.
See the HP StoreAll Storage Network Best Practices Guide for a detailed description of the unified
network on 9300/9320 systems, including the physical layout of the network.

See the documentation for the multipath solution.For 9300 systems, ensure that the correct multipath solution
for the storage arrays connected to the gateways has been
configured and is running on each file serving node.
