For more information about cabling storage enclosures to the switch, see "Deployment examples" (page 89). g. Connect the power cords. h. Apply power to the MDS600 storage enclosures. Confirm successful startup of the MDS600 storage enclosure. View the LEDs on the front and rear of each MDS600 to monitor the progress of the POST. For more information about MDS600 LED patterns, see "Component identification" in the HP StorageWorks 600 Modular Disk System User Guide. i. If needed, upgrade the firmware on the MDS600 I/O modules, using the firmware obtained in Step 7.c. The MDS600 must be updated using the Virtual SAS Manager (VSM) utility of the SAS BL Switch. For more information on updating firmware on the MDS600, see "Updating firmware on MDS600 disk enclosures" (page 76). 8. Install MSA2000sa controller enclosures and MSA drive enclosures. If not included in your solution, proceed to the next step. For detailed instructions on installing MSA storage enclosures, see "Installing and Cabling Enclosures" in the user guide for your MSA2000sa model. a. Before installing each MSA storage enclosure, record important device information in "MSA2000sa controller enclosure worksheet" (page 70). b. Determine the currently-installed firmware version and record it in the provided spaces in "Device worksheets" (page 65). Firmware version information is displayed in the HP Storage Management Utility (SMU). In the Configuration View panel, right-click the system, select View > Overview. c. Determine if there is a newer version of firmware available. Firmware for the MSA2000sa can be obtained from the HP Support Downloads website (http://www.hp.com/support/ downloads. d. Rack the MSA storage enclosures. e. Insert drives in the MSA storage enclosures. Be sure that either a blank module or a drive is installed in each drive bay, to ensure proper airflow and cooling. f. Connect MSA2000 drive enclosures to the MSA2000sa controller enclosure. Be sure to follow provided guidelines of a fault-tolerant cabling configuration to provide a highly available solution. For more information about cabling cascaded drive enclosures, see "Deployment examples" (page 89). Do not connect SAS cables between the MSA controller enclosure and the switch at this time. Connect them only after ensuring that the latest available firmware is installed on the MSA2000sa controllers. g. Connect the Ethernet cables and power cords. h. Apply power to the MSA storage enclosures. • Power on any cascaded drive enclosures and allow them to complete its POST. Make sure that the drive enclosures complete their startup routines before powering on the controller enclosure. If the controller enclosure is powered on prematurely, it may not properly discover the attached storage. • Power on the controller enclosure and allow it to complete POST. • Confirm successful startup of the MSA enclosures and their drives. View the LEDs on the front and rear of each MSA to monitor the progress of the POST. For more information about MSA LED patterns, see "Hardware Components and LEDs" in the user guide for your MSA2000sa model. 62 Installation steps
