Review MSA1000 Installation Best Practices

■ Use the MSA1000 Configuration Overview poster to help you gather all of

the items required for your MSA1000 installation.

■ Go to the MSA1000 website at

http://www.hp.com/go/msa1000

to confirm

your installation plans and review current information about the MSA1000.

■ As you install your MSA1000 into your SAN, record information about your

system in the provided configuration worksheets.

Use either the worksheet on the Configuration Overview poster or

“My MSA1000 Worksheets” on page 95 of this guide.

■ Install your MSA1000 in the sequence listed in this guide.

Several installation and configuration steps include dependencies and if you

deviate from the listed sequence, you may have to uninstall and then reinstall

your MSA1000. Difficulties that you encounter by not following the

directions in this guide may result in lost time and lost revenue while

troubleshooting the issues.

For example, in a Windows environment, when you power up the server after

installing the HBA for the MSA1000, Windows will display a “New

Hardware Found” message and will prompt to install an HBA driver. You

must cancel out of this window or Windows will install an HBA driver that is

unsupported for use with the MSA1000.

If you follow the instructions provided in this guide, we will walk you through

the installation process, one step at a time.

■ When planning your LUNS, customize the RAID type and striping method to

the type of data that will be stored on the array.

For example, for non-critical data, you may want to use RAID 0, which

provides no fault tolerance, but provides rapid storage of large amounts of

data. For critical data, use RAID 1 (RAID 1+0), RAID 5, or RAID ADG,

choosing the RAID type the offers the desired combination of fault-tolerance,

I/O performance, and capacity utilization.

Note: Depending on the number of drives that you include in an array, the ACU

automatically assumes a default RAID type of ADG, which maximizes fault tolerance

and capacity utilization, but at a significant cost to I/O performance. For comparable

fault tolerance but higher performance, consider using RAID 1+0.
