HP P2000 G3 Installation Steps

Hi,

 

I have P2000 G3, And I have read all installation guide but still I did not access SMU or CLI. Whenever I am trying to connect with 10.0.0.2 or 10.0.0.3 then after some second SMU page disable and get warning ( The system is currently unavailable) I am using straight cable via switch. 

 

Second what is Default user name and Password?

 

Please answer me ASAP....

Thanks,

Try access it via telnet or SSH if SMU does not work.
If that does not work try via serial cable.

Perhaps there are problems because of incorrect cabling.

Error leds of the system may provide some help.

username is "manage"

password is "!manage"

 

 

If you have trouble connecting to one controller, try the other one.  Id also advise an ssh CLI connection first if possible.

And usually when the SMU is stuck, restarting the management controller solves the problem.

1.  Check the backend cabling for P2000 as per the cabling guide. - http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02254377/c02254377.pdf

2. If it is, as it should be then verify there is no fault LED ON either on backend [Controllers] or the disk drives.

If it is incorrect, then please shut down the P2000 then change the cabling accordingly.

3. If Pt. 1 & 2 is applied already make a serial connection to P2000 by using either HyperTerminal or PuTTY as below:

 

A. For your machine to see the MSA as a device, you need to install a driver, there is a copy of the drivers on the CD that came with the device which can be downloaded from: http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12169&prodSeriesId=4118559&swItem=MTX-f7441b0018c143ac88d83572e8&prodNameId=4118560&swEnvOID=4064&swLang=13&mode=4&idx=1
Note: Windows 7 users, use the Windows 2008 Drivers.
B. Install the driver.
C. Connect the USB lead from the MSA controller to your machine, TAKE NOTE of the COM port number it's using.
D. Now you can use whatever terminal emulation program you prefer to connect to that COM port. (I prefer HyperTerminal, or you can use Putty if you want something a bit lighter).
E. Set the following, Bits per second = 115200, Data bits = 8, Parity = None, Stop bits = 1, and Flow control = None.
F. You will need to press {enter} to connect, then login.
MSA Default username = manage
MSA Default password = !manage

Note: If the MSA is connected to your network and if it cannot get a DHCP address it automatically gives itself 10.0.0.2/24 on controller A and 10.0.0.3/24 on controller B.

Try opening SMU while connected to Serial Connection and see if it still stucks? If no, you may need to check your network settings.
If its still not loading, restart the management controllers with command restart mc both

 


4. If the network settings are Okay, Cabling is correct, there is no hardware failure, we have restarted the Management Controllers and still you are not able to load SMU at all then use FTP method and upgrade the Storage Controller Firmware to the latest and let us know how it goes.

(Refer to Installation Instructions, if you any doubts about installation, they are precise and step by step)

Re: HP P2000 G3 Installation Steps

Kindly let me know LICENSE INSTALLATION require before configuration ?

Re: HP P2000 G3 Installation Steps

What is it are you trying to Configure? If it is remote replication than yes, you will need to install the licenses required.

If its just initial Installation then there is no license required to Power On, Configure Vdisks, Create Volumes, Access SMU etc.
