MSA2012i First Time Install

[David Mohler]

Hello,

Having been through all the manuals, I still cannot seem to figure out the most basic connection and configuration for the MSA2012i.

This is Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise on an HP DL380. The NICS are HP N373T.

Here are my initial questions:

1. Should I use BOTH the Microsoft iSCSI initiator and the HP NIC configuration utility? Do I need to unbind anything?

2. Should I use a differnet iSCSI Initiator than Microsoft's (such as something from HP)?

3. Where are the IP's set? In the Windows network properties or in the HP Configuration utility?

Thanks in advance for any help.
