Consider the following when cabling HP P2000 G3MSA Systems:• P2000 G3 FC/iSCSI MSA System LUNs may be
presented through either the iSCSI or FC host ports;presenting the same LUN through both protocols isnot supported.
• P2000 G3 MSA System Fibre Channel and iSCSIcontroller ports can both be used for connecting tohosts as well as for replication purposes.
• P2000 G3 10GbE iSCSI MSA Systems mustconnect to 10GbE-enabled devices (server, switch,or interconnect).
Direct-connect configurationsFor direct-connect configurations, connect cables fromthe P2000 G3 MSA controller to the host as shown inthe following illustrations.Any number or combination of LUNs can be sharedamong a maximum of 64 host ports, as long as the totaladds up to no more than 512 LUNs per P2000 G3 MSASystem.Consider the following about images in this section:• These figures show examples of simple, common

Step 5. Connect the P2000 G3 MSA Systemto a remote management hostThe remote management host directly manages systemsout-of-band over an Ethernet network. If included in yourenvironment, do the following to connect the P2000 G3MSA System to a remote management host:1. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the Ethernet
network management port on each P2000 G3MSASystem controller.
2. Connect the other end of each Ethernet cable to anetwork that your management host can access(preferably on the same subnet).
Step 6. Connect two P2000 G3 MSASystems to replicate volumesIf included in your environment, Remote Snap replicationis a licensed disaster-recovery feature that performsasynchronous (batch) replication of block-level data froma volume on a primary P2000 G3 MSA System to asecondary volume on the same system or on a separate,independent P2000 G3 MSA System. Two associatedmaster volumes form a replication set, with only theprimary volume (source of data) mapped for access bya server. Both systems must be licensed to use replicationand must be connected through switches to the samefabric or network (direct attach is not supported).Cabling configuration possibilities are many, including:• Single-controller — Multiple servers/single
network/two switches• Dual-controller — Multiple servers/different
networks/multiple switches• Dual-controller — Multiple servers/single
network/single switchFor more information about Remote Snap and RemoteSnap cabling requirements and examples, see“Connecting two storage systems to replicate volumes”in the HP P2000 G3 iSCSI MSA System User Guide.After the P2000 G3 MSA Systems are physically cabled,see the HP P2000 G3 MSA System SMU ReferenceGuide or online help for information about configuring,provisioning, and using this optional Remote Snapfeature.

Step 7. Power on the components
IMPORTANT: Important safety information aboutpower cords can be found on the SoftwareSupport/Documentation DVD provided with yourMSA chassis. To locate this information look forthe Safety and Disposal guide located on theDocuments tab.
Power on the enclosures and associated server(s) in theorder documented below.1. Connect the primary power cords from the rack to
separate external power sources. Note that PowerDistribution Unit (PDU) power cords are the onlytype of power cord supplied.
2. Using the provided power cords, plug in eachattached drive enclosure power supply module toone power source in the rack. If needed, power onthe drive enclosures using the power switch on therear of the units. Wait one minute to ensure that alldrives can be recognized by the array controller.
3. Plug in the P2000 G3 MSA array controller. Ifneeded, power on the array controller using thepower switch on the rear of the unit.
4. Power on servers (if they are powered down formaintenance purposes).
Step 8. Update firmwareAfter installing hardware and powering on componentsfor the first time, be sure to verify that the controllermodules, drive modules, and disk drives are running thelatest available firmware.Using the Storage Management Utility (SMU), right-clickthe system in the Configuration View panel and selectTools > Update Firmware. This panel shows the currentlyinstalled firmware versions and enables you to updatethem.To find and download the latest software and firmwareupdate for your product, go to the HP Downloadswebsite at http://www.hp.com/support/downloads.
Step 9. Configure the MSASee the HP P2000 G3 MSA System User Guide, HPP2000 G3 MSA System Reference Guide, and HPP2000 G3 MSA System Cable Configuration Guide forconfiguration and setup information. The latest versionsof these manuals are available at: http://www.hp.com/support/manuals.
