storage systems only)

Module Installation Requirements

To ensure that the HBAs can negotiate I/O paths with the

MSA500 G2 controllers, always install the most recent

firmware for the 4-Port Shared Storage Module, the controller,

and the HBAs:

For HBA firmware upgrade procedures, refer to the

controller documentation that ships with the hardware.

For controller and Shared Storage Module firmware

upgrade procedures, refer to the HP website

(http://www.hp.com/support/proliantstorage).

Installing the 4-Port Shared

Storage Module

CAUTION: In systems that use external data

storage, be sure that the server is the first unit to be

powered down and the last to be powered back up. Taking

this precaution ensures that the system does not

erroneously mark the drives as failed when the server is

powered up.

Selective Storage Presentation

SSP is a controller firmware feature that enables the

administrator to control access from hosts to logical drives on

the MSA500 G2 storage system. The administrator selects

which server host or hosts can access the stored data, restricting

access as needed to assure data integrity and security.

Each logical drive on the HP StorageWorks Modular Smart

Array 500 Generation 2 controller has an access control list that

contains the IDs of the server host adapters that have access to

the drive. If a server attempts to send commands to a logical

drive without access authority, the controller rejects the

command.

4. Install the 4-Port Shared Storage Module.

The configuration utility maps the IDs of server host adapters to

connection names and sets up access control lists for logical

drives based on the adapter IDs.

SSP Hardware Configurations

To configure the hardware for SSP, use SCSI cables to connect

each server to the 2-Port or 4-Port Shared Storage Module

installed in the storage system. Boot volumes for individual

servers can reside on server drives or storage system drives.

Enabling SSP

After choosing the configuration that best suits your needs,

enable SSP with ACU Version 7.10 or later. Locate ACU on

the SmartStart CD. For instructions, refer to the HP Array

Configuration Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD.
