storage enclosures, see "Updating firmware on MSA2000sa controller and drive enclosures" (page 79). j. Install required MSA-specific drivers and software, such as the multipathing Device Specific Module, on each server that will access the MSA2000sa. (See "Host System Requirements" in the MSA2000 user guide and MSA2000sa QuickSpecs.) k. Connect SAS cables from the MSA2000sa controller enclosure to the switch. Connect the MSA2000sa controller enclosure to the switch only after upgrading the controller firmware to the latest version. Be sure to follow provided guidelines of a fault-tolerant cabling configuration to utilize the high-availability features. For more information about cabling storage enclosures to the switch, see "Deployment examples" (page 92). 9. Configure zone groups and assign them to the servers. a. Set the Multi-initiator mode. b. Create the zone groups. Zoned SAS and shared SAS storage enclosures use different types of zoning. For more information, see the VSM online help and the HP 3G Virtual SAS Manager User Guide. c. For each server bay, assign one or more zone groups, to grant the server access to the storage. Certain restrictions exist, including that the server blades may need to first be taken offline. Be sure to follow all requirements outlined in "Zoning requirements and device mappings" (page 51). 10. Force the servers to discover the storage by restarting all servers that need to access the storage. If supported by your operating system, use a management utility to scan for new hardware. Be sure to view device and status information to confirm that they were properly discovered. 11. Configure the MDS600 storage enclosure. If not included in your solution, proceed to the next step. a. Obtain and record the WWID of each MDS600 I/O module in the provided spaces in "MDS600 storage enclosure worksheet" (page 71). b. Obtain and record the SAS WWN of all P700m ports on all server blades that will access the MDS600 storage in the provided spaces in "Server and P700m controller worksheet" (page 69). These WWN are used in the ACU when granting hosts access to the storage. 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. From each server assigned a drive-bay zone group, create arrays and LUNs using the ACU or ACU CLI. ("ACU" in the Configuring Arrays on HP Smart Array Controllers Reference Guide) 12. Configure the MSA. ("Configuring a System for the First Time" in the user guide for your MSA2000sa model) If not included in your solution, proceed to the next step. a. Obtain and record the IP address of each MSA2000sa controller in the provided spaces in "MSA2000sa controller enclosure worksheet" (page 72). This IP address is used when accessing the Storage Management Utility (SMU) or Command Line Interface (CLI) to configure the MSA. (See "Obtaining IP Values for Your Storage System" in the user guide for your MSA2000sa model.) b. Obtain and record the SAS WWN of all P700m ports on all server blades that will access the MSA2000sa storage in the provided spaces in "Server and P700m controller Installation steps 65
