Note
The HP P4800 G2 solution is available as a fully factory-integrated system or as a field installation. For the factory-integrated system, begin with step 1.
For the field installation, an HP Service Engineer will integrate the solution onsite and you can disregard the rest of this guide.
Example of a two node configuration. Connect a network cable from the OA on the blade enclosure to your manage-
ment network.
Connect the system power cord to the site power source. The blade enclosure
powers on automatically.
Connect at least one cable from each Flex-10 module to the management
network.
From the Insight Display assign a network address or allow DHCP address
assignment to the enclosure.
Log in to the OA from a web browser using the administrator username and
password located on the asset tag of the OA.
Using the OA virtual power buttons, power down the SAS switches and Flex-10
modules. Then reapply power in the following sequence:
1. Disk enclosure
Press the power button on the back of each disk enclosure. Wait three
minutes.
2. SAS Switches
Use the OA to power on the SAS switches. Wait one minute.
3. Flex-10 Modules
From the OA, power on the Flex-10 modules.
4. Server blades
One minute after powering on the SAS switches, power on the P4460sb
G2 server blades.
The remaining steps can be completed remotely.
Use the OA to configure the local enclosure.
Open the Virtual Connect Manager from the OA and log in using the
administrator username and password located on the asset tag of the active
Flex-10 module.
Configure the Virtual Connect domain and define a network for the iSCSI
traffic. For user information, see the HP Virtual Connect for c-Class
BladeSystem User Guide on the HP P4800 G2 BladeSystem SAN Solution
Documentation CD
For an example of how to isolate iSCSI traffic within the enclosure, skip the rest of
this guide and continue with the HP Converged Infrastructure Reference Architecture
for VMware View (http://www.hp.com/go/vdi).

Step 2 Configuring the network interface
Step 3 Setting up the SAN
Using the Onboard Administrator:
For each P4460sb G2 node, connect to the iLO Integrated Management Console
and complete the following instructions.
Prerequisites
Before configuring the network settings on individual storage systems, have the
following information ready:
• Host names
• IP addresses, subnet mask and gateway.
Logging into the configuration interface
Press enter to log in. Use the tab key to move through the fields and menu
options in the configuration interface.
Configuration interface main menu
Tab to network TCP/IP settings and press enter.
Selecting an interface to configure
Tab to select the network interface that you want to configure (eth0 or port1)
and press enter.
Change the host name and set IP address
Set the IP address, subnet mask and gateway.
Best practice
Manually assign IP addresses to the storage systems. Using DHCP to obtain an
IP address is not recommended unless using reserved addresses.
Verify IP address
Ping the IP address of the storage system from another host on the network to
verify that it is operating correctly.
Repeat for each storage system.
Using the HP P4000 Management Software for Microsoft Windows DVD:
Insert the DVD in the DVD drive. The installer should launch automatically.
Installing the centralized management console (CMC)
Install the CMC on the computer that you will use to administer the SAN. You
need administrative privileges while installing the CMC.
Using the installation wizard:
1. Click Centralized Management Console.
2. Click Install CMC.
3. Continue through the installation wizard, following the instructions on
each window.
Install the Failover Manager
Install the Failover Manager onto a separate server on the network.
Caution: Do not install the Failover Manager on the P4800 G2
BladeSystem SAN, since this would defeat the purpose of the Failover
Manager.
Using the installation wizard:
1. Click Failover Manager.
2. Click Install FOM.
3. Continue through the installation wizard, following the instructions on
each window.
4. Click Finish to exit the wizard and start the Failover Manager.
Discover storage systems on the network
Use Find Systems to discover the storage systems on the network, using either
IP addresses or Auto discover by broadcast checkbox.
The found storage systems appear in the Available Systems category in the
CMC.
Verify or configure RAID and configure network settings
Verify the RAID configuration on your storage systems before creating a
management group. You can only reconfigure RAID on storage systems that
are in the Available Systems pool. Change network settings, including
bonding NICs, before creating a management group.
Verify software version is up to date
Use the “Check for Updates” to update your software to the latest version.
Setting up SAN storage
Use the management groups, clusters and volumes wizard to set up the
storage configuration and create a storage volume.
Download and install iSCSI initiator(s)
Install the appropriate iSCSI initiator on your application servers.
Enable access to volumes
Use the Assign Volume and Snapshot wizard to prepare the volume for
server access. You set up application servers in the management group, and
then assign volumes to the servers.
Log in to volumes via iSCSI initiator(s)
Configure the initiator(s) to ...
• Connect to the cluster VIP.
• Discover the targets.
• Log on.
• Format the disks with a file system.
Next Steps:
• Check the Alarms panel and resolve any alarms.
• Check the Best Practices Analyzer under the Configuration Summary.
