Configuring Smart Arrays

On such hardware models as the HP ProLiant DL380 with smart array cards, you must add the disks to the smart array before attempting to image the node.

To do so, watch the screen carefully during the power-on self-test phase of the node, and press the F8 key when prompted to configure the disks into the smart array.

Specific instructions are outside the scope of the HP XC documentation. See the documentation that came with the HP ProLiant server for more information.

4.5.6 Preparing HP ProLiant DL580 G4 Nodes

Use the following tools to configure the appropriate settings on HP ProLiant DL580 G4 servers:

•Integrated Lights Out (iLO) Setup Utility

•ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU)

HP ProLiant DL580 G4 servers use the iLO utility; thus, they need certain settings that you cannot make until the iLO has an IP address. The HP XC System Software Installation Guide provides instructions for using a browser to connect to the iLO to enable telnet access.

Figure 4-7shows a rear view of the HP ProLiant DL580 G4 server and the appropriate port assignments for an HP XC system.
