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\OSEM and c:\hpnas\components\WEBES folders.

14 About this guide

1 Installing and configuring the
server
Setup overview
Your HP ProLiant Storage Server comes preinstalled with either the Windows®Storage Server™2003
R2 operating system or the Microsoft® Windows® Unified Data Storage Server 2003, Enterprise x64
Edition operating system.
Microsoft 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.
Microsoft® Windows® Unified Data Storage Server 2003, Enterprise x64 Edition operating system
provides unified storage server management capabilities, simplified setup and management of storage
and shared folders, and support for Microsoft iSCSI Software Target.
IMPORTANT:
For more information about Microsoft® Windows® Unified Data Storage Server 2003 operating system,
see "Enterprise storage servers"onpage93.
Planning for installation
Before you install your HP ProLiant Storage Server, you need to make a few decisions.
Determining a network access method
Before beginning setup and startup procedures, 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. If the network has a DHCP server, you can access the storage
server through the direct attachment, remote browser, Remote Desktop, or iLO 2 methods. If your network
does not have a DHCP server, you must access the storage server through the direct attachment method.
NOTE:
The direct attachment method requires a display, keyboard, and mouse.

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 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 25.
Configuration checklist
Use the following checklist to make sure you have completed all configuration tasks for your HP ProLiant
Storage Server. The steps for each task are explained in more detail in subsequent chapters of this guide.

Do not interrupt the installation process; when the installation sequence is complete, the
system prompt appears.
3. Go to "Accessing the HP Storage Server Management console" on page 19 to set up server access.
Factory image
HP ProLiant Storage Servers are preconfigured with default storage settings and preinstalled with either the
Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 operating system or the Microsoft® Windows® Unified Data Storage
Server 2003 operating system. This section provides additional details about the preconfigured storage.

NOTE:
In the HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU), logical disks are labeled 1 and 2. In Microsoft Disk
Manager, logical disks are displayed as 0 and 1. For HP Smart Array configuration information, see
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantstorage/arraycontrollers/.
The DON’T ERASE logical disk supports the recovery process only and does not host a secondary
operating system. If the operating system has a failure that might result from corrupt system files, a corrupt
registry, or the system hangs during boot, see "System recovery"onpage121.
If the data volume is not carved at the factory or during the installation process, it must be configured
manually by the end user. Be sure to back up your user data, and then use the System Recovery DVD to
restore the server to the factory default state as soon as conveniently possible.
18 Installing and configuring the server

Default boot sequence
The BIOS supports the following default boot sequence:
1. DVD-ROM
2. HDD
3. PXE (network boot)
Under normal circumstances, the storage servers boot up from the OS logical drive.
•If the system experiences a drive failure, the drive displays an amber disk failure LED.
•If a single drive failure occurs, it is transparent to the OS.
Accessing the HP Storage Server Management console
Before accessing the HP Storage Server Management console, verify that the storage server is completely
installed in the rack, and that all cables and cords are connected.
To access the HP Storage Server Management console, you can use these access methods:
Direct attach To connect directly to the storage server without using the network.
Remote browser To establish a browser-based connection to the HP ProLiant Storage
Server Management console from a remote client running Internet
Explorer 5.5 (or later).
Remote Desktop To establish a connection from a remote client without using a browser.
This method requires the client to have Windows Remote Desktop
capability.
HP Integrated
Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) To establish a browser-based connection from a remote client using
the iLO 2 interface.
For more information, see "Planning for installation" on page 15.
IMPORTANT:
An IP address can be substituted for a storage server's serial number and hyphen when using either
remote browser or Remote Desktop methods to access the HP Storage Server Management console. For
example: 192.0.0.1 can be substituted for TWT08466-.
Using the direct attach method
You can access the HP Storage Server Management console using a monitor, mouse, and keyboard
directly attached to the storage server.
To connect the storage server to a network using the direct attach method
1. Log on to the HP ProLiant Storage Server with the default user name administrator and the
password hpinvent.
The HP ProLiant Storage Server Management console and Rapid Startup Wizard will start
automatically.
HP ProLiant Storage Server 19

NOTE:
You can change the administrator name and password when you configure the server
using the "Rapid Startup Wizard"onpage26.
2. To complete network configuration using the Rapid Startup Wizard, see "Configuring the server on
the network"onpage25.
Using the remote browser method
The storage server ships with DHCP enabled on the network port. If the server is placed on a
DHCP-enabled network and the serial number of the device is known, the server can be accessed through
a client running Internet Explorer 5.5 (or later) on that network, using the TCP/IP 3202 port.
IMPORTANT:
Before you begin this procedure, ensure that you have the following:
•Windows-based PC loaded with Internet Explorer 5.5 (or later) on the same local network as the
storage server
•DHCP-enabled network
•Serial number or IP address of the storage server
To connect the server to a network using the remote browser method, you must first ensure that the client
is configured to download signed ActiveX controls.
To enable ActiveX controls
1. On the remote client machine, open the Internet Explorer web browser and select Tools > Internet
Options > Security.
