tools for configuring MSA1000

hpuserabc — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 10:15:22 GMT

I have new MSA1000 with integrated 2/8 SAN switch, connected to servers with FC cables.

without SCSI cable connected, since the servers don't have SCSI/Smartarray.

can i configure the MSA1000 using ACU from one of the server via FC connection ?

if yes, how to make the ACU detect the MSA?

rightnow the only way i know to configure the MSA is using serial cable to the MSA controller.

thx

You can perfectly configure the MSA through a fiber connection with ACU

You will see a controller in the list of available controllers with the name 'MSA1000' after refreshing the list of controllers.

If you have zoning on your san switch. Make a zoning with a port of the MSA and the fiber controller from the host with ACU insttalled.
