HP hardware support services

HP Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE) provides proactive remote
monitoring, diagnostics, and troubleshooting to help you enhance
the availability of your servers, as well as storage and network
devices. The ISEE software is located on the storage server in the
c:\hpnas\components\ISEE folder. For more information, go
to the HP web site: http://h20219.www2.hp.com/services/cache/
10707-0-0-225-121.aspx.
HP Services provides service tools that notify you when a significant system
event has or will occur. These tools, WEBES System Event Analyzer (SEA)
and OSEM, are used both as part of the ISEE remote service offering and
as standalone tools to HP service customers. They are designed to send a
notification only when an event or series of events has occurred that require
service action. They are not intended to be real-time system state monitors
that trigger with every event. Most system components have the capability
of sending hundreds of state events during normal operation. SEA and
OSEM are designed to filter these component events and only notify
customers and/or HP Services when action needs to be taken to resolve or
prevent an outage. As designed they will not report all events. Other utilities
are available to monitor real time system state. The software is located on
the storage server in the c:\hpnas\components\ISEE\OSEM and
c:\hpnas\components\ISEE\WEBES folders.

About this guide

1 Setup overview
Your HP ProLiant storage server comes pre-installed with the Windows
Storage Server 2003 R2 operating system. Windows Storage Server
2003 R2 extends the Windows Storage Server 2003 operating system,
providing a more efficient way to manage and control access to local
and remote resources. In addition, Windows Storage Server 2003 R2
provides a scalable, security-enhanced Web platform for simplified branch
server management, improved identity and access management, and more
efficient storage management.

Planning for installation

Before you install your HP ProLiant storage server, you need to make a
few up-front decisions.

Determining a network access method

Before beginning setup and startup procedures, you should decide
upon an access method to connect to the storage server. The type of
network access you select is determined by whether or not the network
has a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, as shown in
"Deciding upon a network access method" on page 14. "Network access
methods" on page 15 shows the types of network access methods that are
available and provides more information about each one.

Planning a network configuration

You use the Rapid Startup Wizard to configure your storage server. This
wizard is displayed automatically when you first start your system. Before
you run the Rapid Startup Wizard, it is helpful to gather together the
network configuration information you need, including:
User name and administrator password (the system provides you
with defaults you need to change)
E-mail addresses to set up system alerts
SNMP settings
Local area network (LAN) configuration settings
To help you gather this information, see "Configuring the server on the
network" on page 35.

Using the Integrated Lights-Out 2 method

The HP iLO 2 management processor provides multiple ways to configure,
update, operate, and manage servers remotely. The HP ProLiant Storage
Server comes preconfigured with iLO 2 default factory settings, including a
default user account and password. These settings can be found on the
iLO 2 Default Network Settings tag found on the front of the server. If
iLO 2 is connected to a network running DNS and DHCP, you can use it
immediately without changing any settings.
For more information on using HP iLO 2, see the HP Integrated Lights-Out 2
User Guide.

To quickly setup iLO 2 using the default settings for iLO 2 Standard and
iLO 2 Advanced features, follow the steps below.
1. Ensure that a network cable is connected to the iLO 2 port (1) located
on the back of the storage server.

Figure 8 iLO 2 connector port

NOTE:
This connection method is easiest when the connection is
to a DHCP and DNS supported network.
2. If not using dynamic DHCP (IP addressing), you will need to input a
static IP address by using the direct attach method and the iLO 2 RBSU.
3. Using the methods described in the HP Integrated LightsOut 2 User
Guide, connect to the iLO 2 port.
NOTE:
To find the default iLO 2 log in settings, see the iLO 2
Default Network Settings card attached to your server. The
default DNS, administrator name, and password needed
to log in will be on this card.
4. If desired, you can change the default user name and password on
the administrator account to your predefined selections.
5. Set up your user accounts, if using the local accounts feature.
6. Activate iLO 2 advanced features by entering a license key from the
included ProLiant Essentials Integrated Lights-Out 2 Advanced Pack.
7. Access the HP ProLiant Storage Server using the iLO 2 Remote Console
functionality. Log in to the HP ProLiant Storage Server with the default
user name administrator and the password hpinvent. The HP
ProLiant Storage Server Management console starts automatically.
