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.
NOTE:
This feature is only available on the 300 and 500 series ProLiant storage
servers.

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.
Depending on the configuration you have chosen, your storage server
may contain additional software providing solutions for specificbusiness
needs. Forexample,yourservermaybeoptimizedtobeaFilePrint
Appliance (FPA).
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 Network
Access methods. The following figure 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,
immediately after you are prompted to install system updates. 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"onpage39.
