Audience assumptions
This document is for the person who installs, administers, and
troubleshoots servers and storage systems. HP assumes that you are
qualified in the servicing and installation of computer equipment and
are trained in recognizing hazards in products and hazardous energy
levels. For complete information on installing and configuring your MSA
2000 G2, please see the user guide provided on the Software

Connecting remote management hosts
The management host directly manages systems out-of-band over an
Ethernet network.
1.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet management port on each
controller.
2.
Connect the other end of each Ethernet cable to a network that your
management host can access (preferably on the same subnet).
Configuration notes
Any number or combination of LUNs can be shared among connected
servers as long as the total number of LUNs adds up to no more than
512 LUNs per MSA 2000 G2.
When expanding storage, a maximum of five (5) enclosures (including
the array enclosure) OR ninety-nine (99) drives are allowed in the array.
