Setup in the Configuration Fixture
Powering On and Configuring the Packaged Cluster
1.
Power on the storage system and wait for the controllers to initialize.
IMPORTANT:
You must power on the MSA500 system before powering on the servers.
After powering on, wait until the storage system startup complete message displays. It
might take up to two minutes for the system to completely power up.
2.
Power on one server.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use the Option ROM Configuration for Arrays (ORCA) utility to
configure the MSA500 system. The Array Configuration Utility must be used.
While the server boots, the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) and the ORCA
utility are automatically configured to prepare the server for the operating system
installation. To configure these utilities manually:
— Press the
F8
key when prompted during the array controller initialization to
configure the array controller using ORCA. The array controller defaults to
RAID 0 with one drive installed and RAID 1 with more than one drive
installed.
— Press the
F9
key when prompted during the boot process to change the server
settings, such as the settings for language and operating system, using RBSU.
The system is set up by default for the English language and a Microsoft®
Windows® 2000 installation.
For more information on the automatic configuration, refer to the
HP ROM-
Based Setup Utility User Guide
located on the Documentation CD.
3.
Insert the SmartStart CD into the CD-ROM drive and reboot the server. Follow
the on-screen instructions to begin the operating system installation process.
For more information on installing the operating system, refer to the SmartStart
installation poster included in the ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack, the
operating system documentation, or go to
http://www.hp.com/servers/proliant/highavailability
for additional information on
some operating systems.
