Installing the enclosures
Installation checklist
The following table outlines the steps required to install the enclosures and initially configure the system. To
ensure a successful installation, perform the tasks in the order they are presented.
1
The SMU is introduced in
. See the SMU Reference Guide or online help for additional information.
2
If the systems are cabled for replication and licensed to use the Remote Snap feature, you can use the Replication Setup Wizard to
prepare to replicate an existing volume to another vdisk. See the SMU Reference Guide for additional information.
FDE considerations
The Full Disk Encryption feature available via the management interfaces requires use of self-encrypting
drives (SED) which are also referred to as FDE-capable disk drive modules. When installing FDE-capable
disk drive modules, follow the same procedures for installing disks that do not support FDE. The exception
occurs when you move FDE-capable disk drive modules for one or more disk groups to a different system,
which requires additional steps.
The procedures for using the FDE feature, such as securing the system, viewing disk FDE status, and
clearing and importing keys are performed using the SMU or CLI commands (see the SMU Reference
Guide or CLI Reference Guide for more information).
NOTE:
When moving FDE-capable disk drive modules for a disk group, stop I/O to any volumes in the
disk group before removing the disk drive modules. Follow the “Removing the failed drive” and “Installing
the replacement drive” procedures within the
HP MSA Drive Module Replacement Instructions
. Import the
keys for the disks so that the disk content becomes available.
