4 Configuration Configuration includes: • MSA1510i supported management tools • Configuration best practices • Configuration overview • Configuring the Microsoft iSCSI initiator • Configuring the VMware iSCSI software initiator Supported management tools The following is a partial list of the tools that are supported for use with the MSA: • Storage Management Utility (SMU) overview • MSA Command Line Interface (MSA-CLI) overivew • HP Systems Insight Manager (HP-SIM) overview • Packet InterNet Groper (PING) overview • MSA array controller LCD panel Storage Management Utility (SMU) overview The Storage Management Utility (SMU) is integrated in the MSA array controller firmware and offers a graphical user interface (GUI) application for configuring, managing, and monitoring the MSA array and its storage. The SMU is accessed through a browser by entering the IP address of the MSA management port. Sample tasks include: configuring iSCSI elements, setting up the management interface, configuring the logical units (LUNs), limiting access to the storage, viewing controller and storage setup, viewing status information, and running diagnostic reports. The SMU interface includes the following tabs: • Wizards-for configuring a system. The Initial System Configuration Wizard is the easiest and simplest method of initially configuring a system. You are prompted in a logical sequence for basic storage, iSCSI, logon, and management settings. After completing the wizard, the Configure tab is displayed for entering security settings, information about additional servers, or modifying settings entered through the wizard. Wizards are best used in single-server environments or other environments needing bulk storage. • Configure-for configuring a system, entering new information, and changing existing settings. When initially configuring a system, this tab offers more flexibility than the Wizards tab, and is best for multi-server environments that need to customize the creation of storage LUNs and targets. • View-for viewing detailed configuration and status information. • Diagnose-for generating an XML-formatted diagnostic report. • Update-for updating MSA array controller and component firmware, hard drive storage enclosure firmware, and hard drive firmware. MSA Command Line Interface (MSA-CLI) overview The MSA Command Line Interface (MSA-CLI) is integrated in the MSA array controller firmware and offers a command level method of configuring, managing, and monitoring the MSA array and its storage. The MSA-CLI is accessed locally through a host computer connected to the customized RJ-45Z serial port on the front of the MSA controller or, remotely through a Secure Shell Connection (SSH) or Telnet. 1510i Modular Smart Array installation and user guide 59
