•
Unpacking HP VMA SAN Gateway Hardware Components: The first step
in the hardware installation phase is to unpack the HP VMA SAN Gateway
shipping box and confirm that all components are present.
•
Rack-mounting the HP VMA SAN Gateway Chassis: The second step is to
mount the HP VMA SAN Gateway chassis in the rack.
•
Connecting to Memory Arrays with PCIe Cables: The third step is to
connect each HP VMA SAN Gateway to one or more Memory Arrays using
PCIe cables.
•
Connecting Power: The fourth step is to connect to a power feed.
•
Connecting the Serial Console and Management LAN: The fifth step is to
connect the serial console and management LAN.
•
Cabling and Configuring Network Connections: In this step you connect
the HP VMA SAN Gateway to network switches using 10GbE or 8Gb Fibre
Channel cables and, optionally, to configure support on the cluster and
network switches for bonded interfaces and VLANs.
All Phase 1 configuration procedures are described in
Phase 2: Network Configuration
Phase 2, System Network Configuration, includes the following procedure:
•
Configuring Network Settings: You set up and define the network settings
for the HP VMA SAN Gateway cluster. During this phase you must configure
the following IP addresses, parameters, and names: the public interface IP
address and netmask for each node (HP VMA SAN Gateway in the cluster).
The Phase 2 configuration procedure is described in
Phase 3: Memory Array Configuration
In this phase, you install and configure the Memory Arrays. These procedures are
discussed in detail in the
HP VMA-series VMA Array Installation and Service Guide
.
Phase 4: Cluster Configuration
In this phase, you connect to the HP VMA SAN Gateway and define the HP VMA
SAN Gateway cluster and global cluster parameters. An HP VMA SAN Gateway
cluster consists of one or more HP VMA SAN Gateway nodes. Using the
configuration wizard greatly simplifies this process.
