Re: MSA2000 on linux
I hope that you have Linux installed on a server.
If you have MSA 2000fc, then the following procedure should apply.
1. Install the HBA drivers
2. Install multipathing software
3. Connect MSA 2000 and HBA to the SAN
4. Create Vdisk and volumes on MSA 2000
5. Present it to the HBAs
6. The volumes will appear like regular SCSI disk
7. Fdisk or parted can be used for partitions
8. Mkfs can be used for creating file systems
Can you please post your Hardware and software configuration?
-Thank You

Re: MSA2000 on linux
the linux is installed in CLI only. ( no graphic)
I have tried to Launch the discovery tool on the Linux machine ( connected to the MSA) but the the script didn't run without graphical interface.
How shall I configure the MSA partitions? Is there a tool a software, or a console?
Thank you.

Re: MSA2000 on linux
From there you can create the virtual disk(s), volumes and hosts and the present the volumes. The documentation offers a CLI guide as well:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManualтМй=en&cc=us&docIndexId=64179&taskId=101&prodTypeId=12169&prodSeriesId=3971478
I've tried the link and got a stupid "we're very sorry!" from HP's bad joke of a web presence, but was successful with a simple [reload] a few seconds later.
So, don't give up too fast! Reload after a a minute or so. Or after an hour or so...

Re: MSA2000 on linux
The MSA has 2 controlers ( 2 service ports)
I have only connected one ports to the Hub. Shall I connect the other also?

Re: MSA2000 on linux
1. connect the serial port to a laptop and start a terminal.
http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01505786/c01505786.pdf
page 42
2. set the IP addr
set network-parameters ip address netmask netmask gateway gateway
controller a|b
For example:
# set network-parameters ip 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1 controller a
3. use the internet brower to access the management console.
hope this helps.

Re: MSA2000 on linux
I have to create 3 file system for the linux server ( /backup /test /data)
Shall I create a Vdisk with 3 volumes?
After that the linux will detect the added 3 volume space?
