10. Configure zone groups and assign them to the servers.
a. Set the Multi-initiator mode.
b. Create the zone groups.
Zoned SAS and shared SAS storage enclosures use different types of zoning. For more
information, see the VSM online help and the HP 6G Virtual SAS Manager User Guide.
c. For each server bay, assign zone groups to grant the server access to the storage.
1 1. Force the servers to discover the storage by restarting all servers that need to access the
storage. If supported by your operating system, use a management utility to scan for new
hardware. Be sure to view device and status information to confirm that they were properly
discovered.
12. Configure the MSA 2040 SAS or P2000 G3 SAS MSA System. If not included in your solution,
proceed to the next step.
a. Obtain and record the IP address of each MSA 2040 SAS or P2000 G3 SAS MSA
controller in the provided spaces in
enclosure worksheet" (page
Management Utility (SMU) or Command Line Interface (CLI) to configure the MSA. For
information, see "Obtaining IP values" in the HP MSA 2040 User Guide or HP P2000
G3 MSA System SAS User Guide.
b. Obtain and record the SAS WWN of all P71 1m/P712m/P721m/P731m ports on all
server blades that will access the MSA 2040 SAS or P2000 G3 SAS MSA storage in
the provided spaces in
worksheet" (page
access to the storage.
The WWNs of all P71 1m, P712m, or P721m/P731m ports connected to each SAS BL
switch are displayed as "Device ID" on the Switch Port Mapping page in Onboard
Administrator. (HP Onboard Administrator user guide)
c. Enter MSA 2040 SAS or P2000 G3 SAS MSA system parameters. ("Configuring the
system" in the HP MSA 2040 SMU Reference Guide or HP P2000 G3 MSA System SMU
Reference Guide)
d. Create vdisks and volumes using the SMU or CLI. For information, see "Creating a vdisk"
in the HP MSA 2040 SMU Reference Guide or the HP P2000 G3 MSA System SMU
Reference Guide.
If the MSA is being used as the boot device for server blades, create the required volumes
on the MSA. For information, see Booting from shared storage with direct connect SAS
storage for HP BladeSystem and HP MSA2000sa on the MSA2000sa website.
e. (Recommended) Map each MSA volume to the servers that need access. For information,
see "Provisioning the system" in the HP MSA 2040 SMU Reference Guide or the HP
P2000 G3 MSA System SMU Reference Guide.
For each MSA volume:
Dual-domain configurations require at least two mappings per volume to each server.
