Supported storage systems
These installation instructions apply to StoreVirtual
3000 File Controller, which is based on the Proliant
DL120 Gen9 Server platform.
For details and specifications, see the HPE
StoreVirtual 3000 File Controller QuickSpecs
available at:

The Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2016
Standard Edition operating system is preinstalled
and activated on all systems.
Install the storage system hardware
1. Install the rail kit by following the Hewlett
Packard Enterprise Rack Rail Kit Installation
Instructions, which is packaged with the rail kit.
2. Install the storage system into the rack.
3. You can deploy the product as single-node or
use multiple systems to deploy a Windows
failover cluster. If you are setting up a cluster
configuration, you must connect a cable
between the servers to complete the initial
setup. Connecting a cable between the ports
as identified in Figure 1 (page 1) enables you
to create a simplified two-node cluster later in
the Initial Configuration Tasks (ICT) window.
If more than two nodes are desired in the
cluster, create the two-node cluster first, and
add nodes later.

Record network information
It is critical to have the correct networking
information available before proceeding with the
Page 1

system installation and configuration. It might be
necessary to pre-stage DNS information. Contact
your system administrator to clarify network
configuration requirements.
IMPORTANT: Before joining the
StoreVirtual 3000 File Controller system
nodes to the Active Directory domain, ensure
that there is a network connectivity between
each node and domain controller.
The StoreVirtual 3000 File Controller requires a
minimum of 6 IP addresses. These addresses can
be statically assigned, assigned by a DHCP server,
or both. If you are using static addressing or a
DHCP server that does not automatically update
DNS, ensure that both forward and reverse DNS
information (A and PTR records) is pre-staged in
the DNS server.
Use Table 1 (page 2) or Table 2 (page 2),
depending on your system configuration, to
document your network information before
proceeding with system setup.

Restrictive Active Directory environments
If the StoreVirtual 3000 File Controller system is
placed in a restrictive Active Directory environment,
it might require pre-staging Active Directory objects
or certain administrative permissions. For more
information, see the following Microsoft articles:
•http://blogs.msdn.com/b/clustering/archive/
2012/03/30/10289577.aspx
•http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/
cc731002(v=ws.10).aspx
Access the storage system
Use either the direct attach oriLO method to connect
to the storage system.
IMPORTANT: Only the direct attach and
iLO access methods can be used to install
the storage system. When the storage system
installation process completes and the
server’s IP addresses have been assigned,
you can use the remote desktop method to
access the storage system.
•Direct attach: This access method is
mandatory if your network does not have a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server. Connect the following cables to the
back panel of the storage system in this
sequence: keyboard, mouse, network cables,
monitor cable, and power cable.
NOTE: The keyboard, mouse, and
monitor are not provided with the storage
system.
•iLO: Access the storage system using the iLO
remote management method:
1. Connect a network cable to the iLO port
located on the back of the storage system.
2. Connect a power cable to the storage
system.
3. Locate the iLO Network Settings tag
attached to the storage system and record
the default user name, password, and
DNS name.
4. From a remote computer, open a standard
web browser and enter the iLO
management hostname of the storage
system.
Page 2

NOTE: By default, iLO obtains
the management IP address and
subnet mask from the DHCP server
in your network. The hostname
found on the iLO tag is
automatically registered with DNS
server in your network. If the DHCP
configuration is not possible or the
system is not found in DNS, use the
direct attach method to configure
iLO with a static IP address.
5. Using the default user information
provided on the iLO Network Settings tag,
log on to iLO and launch a remote console
to the storage system.
For detailed instructions on these access methods,
see the HPE StoreVirtual 3000 File Controller
Administrator Guide available at or the iLO 4 User
Guide, which you can search for (by product name)
at http://www.hpe.com/support/manuals.
Power on and complete the configuration
1. Power on the system by pushing the power
button on the front panel. If using iLO, click
Momentary Press under the Power Switch
menu of the remote console.
IMPORTANT: If you are deploying a
cluster, only interact with one of the
servers. After powering on both servers,
the Setup Windows Wizard and the Initial
Configuration Tasks must be run from
only one server.
The storage system starts and displays the
Setup Windows wizard.
2. Select the desired language, country or region,
language settings, keyboard layout, and click
Next.
3. Accept the license agreement on both the
nodes by clicking Accept.
4. When prompted, click Yes to configure your
system as a two-node cluster or click No to
configure your system as a single-node cluster.
The storage system installation process takes
approximately 10–15 minutes.
5. When the installation completes and the server
(or servers if deploying a cluster) reboots, you
are automatically logged on as the local
administrator (using the default Windows
Administrator password of HPEStorage!). If
you are deploying a cluster, continue to work
only with the server on which you used the
Setup Windows Wizard.
The ICT window opens automatically at logon. The
tasks presented vary depending on whether you
have chosen to deploy a single-node or two-node
cluster. For more information on any of these tasks,
click the help icon for the appropriate task group in
the ICT window or refer to the HPE StoreVirtual
3000 File Controller Administrator Guide, which you
can search for (by product name) at http://
www.hpe.com/support/manuals
IMPORTANT: Hewlett Packard Enterprise
strongly recommends that you validate your
configuration when using clusters. Whether
you create a cluster through the ICT or
Failover Cluster Manager, one of the first
steps is validating your configuration using
the Microsoft cluster validation tool. If you
choose to skip the validation step, you can
still validate the cluster after it is created.
Validate network information
For information on configuring and validating the
network information, see the HPE StoreVirtual 3000
File Controller Administrator Guide, which you can
search for (by product name) at http://
www.hpe.com/support/manuals.
