The WWNs of all P700m ports connected to each HP 3Gb SAS BL Switch are displayed as "Device ID" on the Switch Port Mapping page in Onboard Administrator. (See the HP Onboard Administrator user guide.) c. Create Vdisks and volumes using the SMU or CLI. ("Creating Virtual Disks" in the user guide for your MSA2000sa model) If the MSA is being used as the boot device for server blades, create the required volumes on the MSA.

(See "Mapping a Volume to a Host" in the user guide for your MSA2000sa model.) For each MSA volume: • Create a mapping to all WWNs of the server that needs access. • Open access to the volume through all SAS ports on the MSA2000sa controller. High availability configurations require at least two mappings per volume to each server. 13. The basic steps of installing the External SAS storage for HP BladeSystem solution are complete. Additional configuration steps may include: • If the MSA is used as a boot device for server blades, configure the server blades properly and then install the operating system.
