2 Installing and configuring the server

Setup overview

The HP StorageWorks P4000 G2 Unified NAS Gateway comes preinstalled with the Microsoft Windows® Storage Server™ 2008 R2 Enterprise x64 Edition operating system with Microsoft iSCSI Software Target and a Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) license included.

IMPORTANT:

•Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 x64 operating systems are designed to support 32–bit applic- ations without modification; however, any 32–bit applications that are run on these operating systems should be thoroughly tested before releasing the storage system to a production environ- ment.

•Windows Storage Server x64 editions support only x64-based versions of Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins, not 32-bit versions.

Determine an access method

Before you install the storage system, you need to decide on an access method.

The type of access you select is determined by whether or not the network has a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. If the network has a DHCP server, you can install the storage system through the direct attachment or remote management methods. If your network does not have a DHCP server, you must access the storage system through the direct attachment method.

The direct attachment method requires a display, keyboard, and mouse. These components are not provided with the storage system.

IMPORTANT:

Only the direct attach and remote management access methods can be used to install the storage system. After the storage system installation process is complete and the system's IP address has been assigned, you can then additionally use the remote browser and remote desktop methods to access the storage system.
