https://community.hpe.com/t5/msa-storage/msa2012i-first-time-install/m-p/1109936#M5135 Hello,<BR /> <BR /> Having been through all the manuals, I still cannot seem to figure out the most basic connection and configuration for the MSA2012i. <BR /> <BR /> This is Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise on an HP DL380. The NICS are HP N373T.<BR /> <BR /> Here are my initial questions:<BR /> <BR /> 1. Should I use BOTH the Microsoft iSCSI initiator and the HP NIC configuration utility? Do I need to unbind anything?<BR /> <BR /> 2. Should I use a differnet iSCSI Initiator than Microsoft's (such as something from HP)?<BR /> <BR /> 3. Where are the IP's set? In the Windows network properties or in the HP Configuration utility?<BR /> <BR /> Thanks in advance for any help.
