Configuration Planning Worksheet Use this worksheet to prepare for your MSA1500 cs installation. This checklist supports most MSA1500 cs configurations-from the simple to the relatively complex. If your configuration is simple, you need only some of the items on checklist. If your configuration is more complex, you need most of the items. Note: This worksheet and the companion worksheets in the MSA1500 cs Installation Guide are not prerequisites for installing your MSA1500 cs, but some of the information on the worksheets is required for zoning, multi-pathing, future configuration changes, and troubleshooting purposes. 1 Check the boxes for the items you need First, place a check in all of the boxes on the left side of the checklist - these items are required for all MSA1500 cs configurations. Second, place a check next to any additional items needed for your configuration, such as "Items for Multi-Path Configurations," "Items for Clustered Servers," and "Possible Additional Items." 2 Record information about the items Read through the checklist and write down information about the items needed for your configuration. Record as much information as possible. Items marked with an asterisk ("*") are required. Note: You do not need to complete the entire worksheet at this time. Some information is easier to obtain during installation of your MSA1500 cs. 3 Verify that the items are supported After you have indicated your configuration type and have obtained the items you need to install your MSA1500 cs, verify that the items you plan to use are approved for use with the MSA1500 cs in your operating system environment. Go to the MSA1500 cs web site: http://www.hp.com/go/msa1500cs. Read the MSA1500 cs Compatibility Guide on the Technical Documentation page of the MSA1500 cs web site to confirm compatibility. During this process, you may need to obtain some new items and adjust your plans. Proceed with installing your MSA1500 cs only after obtaining all of the necessary hardware and software components and verifying that the models and versions you plan to use are supported. 4 Read the other side of this poster Now that you have gathered all of the items required for your configuration, please read the other side of this poster for an overview of the installation process and some best practices.
