4 Configuration Introduction The FCArray Assistant configuration activities primarily involve configuring the FCArray Assistant Client for the following items: • Setting up server groups and servers • Loading a configuration from disk and saving it to the controller • Setting or modifying user preferences such as alarms, alerts, event message editing, and communications parameters • Setting or modifying controller options to suit the application needs • Setting up the Intelligent BBU (battery back-up unit) • Creating, modifying, or deleting RAID Controller configurations • Mapping LUNs Before You Begin To ensure the correct configuration settings, you should have successfully completed the following items: • FCArray Assistant Server installation and start up for Windows NT 4.0 on at least one file server on the network. See Chapter 2 in this guide. • FCArray Assistant Client installation and start up for Windows NT 4.0 on this workstation. See Chapter 2 in this guide. NOTE If this is the initial configuration of the Rack Storage/12FC, HP recommends signing onto the managed server and then reconditioning the BBU (battery pack) immediately after setting up FCArray Assistant. The reconditioning battery process may take up to 15 hours to complete. This would also apply if this were the first time a FCArray Controller card is used, or a new BBU (battery pack) has been installed, the battery pack should be reconditioned as soon as possible. 29

Configuration
Introduction
The FCArray Assistant configuration activities primarily involve configuring the
FCArray Assistant Client for the following items:
Setting up server groups and servers
Loading a configuration from disk and saving it to the controller
Setting or modifying user preferences such as alarms, alerts, event message
editing, and communications parameters
Setting or modifying controller options to suit the application needs
Setting up the Intelligent BBU (battery back-up unit)
Creating, modifying, or deleting RAID Controller configurations
Mapping LUNs
Before You Begin
To ensure the correct configuration settings, you should have successfully
completed the following items:
FCArray Assistant Server installation and start up for Windows NT 4.0 on
at least one file server on the network. See Chapter 2 in this guide.
FCArray Assistant Client installation and start up for Windows NT 4.0 on
this workstation. See Chapter 2 in this guide.
NOTE
If this is the initial configuration of the Rack Storage/12FC, HP
recommends signing onto the managed server and then
reconditioning the BBU (battery pack) immediately after
setting up FCArray Assistant. The reconditioning battery
process may take up to 15 hours to complete.
This would also apply if this were the first time a FCArray
Controller card is used, or a new BBU (battery pack) has been
installed, the battery pack should be reconditioned as soon as
possible.
