HP StorageWorks MSA2012i

[Mohd Zainal Abidin]

Hi,

I have this NAS in my datacenter. I've start work a few month on this new environment.

Yesterday, i want to assign space to Linux server. But i don't know how to assign using this NAS.

Do HP have tutorial or perhaps step by step. I only know that this NAS don't have OS. But i'm not confirm about that.

Can HP provide any link that related?

Thank you.

Hi, you need to log on to the web interface of the MSA2012i. In there you can add a host, create vdisk and then assign it to a host.

Is the user guide for the MSA2012i

HP's manuals for the MSA2012i can be found here:

Googled a little bit, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-setup-debian-ubuntu-linux-iscsi-initiator/ seemed to have info for how to do this on linux.
