CDs in this kit are used when installing and configuring the MSA. Getting started Use this worksheet to prepare for your installation. This worksheet supports most configurations. If your configuration is simple, you need only some of the items on the worksheet. If your configuration is more complex, you need most of the items. Note: This worksheet and the companion worksheets in the HP StorageWorks MSA1500 installation guide are not prerequisites for installing your MSA1500, but some information on the worksheets is required for zoning, multipathing, future configuration changes, and troubleshooting purposes. Complete the following tasks on the Web ● Add the MSA1500 product page as a favorite in your browser. This site (http://www.hp.com/go/msa1500cs) includes the latest information about the MSA1500, including product specifications, compatibility information, software and firmware downloads, user documents, and support advisories and notifications. ● Sign up to automatically receive new advisories and notices. This site (http://www.hp.com/go/e-updates) includes options to register for and automatically receive, by e-mail, personalized product tips, update information, driver- and support-related advisories, and other notices for this and other HP devices. ● Review all old product advisories and notices. To help you better plan for and successfully install your MSA1500, read all of the outstanding customer advisories before installing the array. Advisories are available on the Software, firmware, and drivers page of the MSA1500 website. Check the boxes for the items you need First, place a check in all of the left-most boxes in the checklist-these items are required for all configurations. Second, place a check next to any additional items needed for your configuration, such as an additional controller or Fibre Channel I/O module for multipathing, clustering software and hardware components, or additional servers or switches. 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 the installation. Verify that your items are supported After you have determined your configuration type and items you plan to use, verify that these items are approved for use. Read the compatibility guide on the Technical Documentation page of the MSA1500 website to confirm compatibility of your hardware and software components. Learn about the installation process Now that you have determined which items are needed for your installation and have confirmed their support, read the other side of this poster for an overview of the installation process and some best practices.
