Completing system configuration After the storage server is physically set up and the basic configuration is established, you must complete additional setup tasks. Depending on the deployment scenario of the storage server, these steps can vary. These additional steps can include: • Running Microsoft Windows Update-HP highly recommends that you run Microsoft Windows updates to identify, review, and install the latest, applicable, critical security updates on the storage server. For recommendations, instructions, and documentation to help manage the software update, hotfix, and security patches process on the storage server, see Microsoft Software Updates on HP ProLiant Storage Servers at http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/storageservers.html. • Creating and managing users and groups-User and group information and permissions determine whether a user can access files. If the storage server is deployed into a workgroup environment, this user and group information is stored locally on the device. By contrast, if the storage server is deployed into a domain environment, user and group information is stored on the domain. • Joining workgroup and domains-These are the two system environments for users and groups. Because users and groups in a domain environment are managed through standard Windows or Active Directory domain administration methods, this document discusses only local users and groups, which are stored and managed on the storage server. For information on managing users and groups on a domain, see the domain documentation available on the Microsoft web site. • Using Ethernet NIC teaming (optional)-Select models are equipped with an HP or Broadcom NIC Teaming utility. The utility allows administrators to configure and monitor Ethernet network interface controller (NIC) teams in a Windows-based operating system. These teams provide options for increasing fault tolerance and throughput. • Activating iLO 2 Advanced features using a license key-The Remote Console feature of iLO 2 requires a license key. The key is included with the storage server inside the Country Kit. See the iLO 2 Advanced License Pack for activation instructions. • Adjusting logging for system, application, and security events. • Installing third-party software applications-For example, these might include an antivirus application that you install. • Registering the server - To register the server, refer to the HP Registration website (http:// register.hp.com). 32 Installing and configuring the server
