Complete system configuration

After the storage system is physically set up and the basic configuration is established, you must
complete additional setup tasks. Depending on the deployment scenario of the storage system, these
steps can vary. These additional steps can include:

Running Microsoft Windows Update—HP highly recommends that you run Microsoft Windows
updates to identify, review, and install the latest, applicable, critical security updates on the storage
system.

Creating and managing users and groups—User and group information and permissions determine
whether a user can access files. If the storage system is deployed into a workgroup environment,
this user and group information is stored locally on the device. By contrast, if the storage system
is deployed into a domain environment, user and group information is stored on the domain.

Joining workgroup and domains—These are the two system environments for users and groups.
Because users and groups in a domain environment are managed through standard Windows or
Active Directory domain administration methods, this document discusses only local users and
groups, which are stored and managed on the storage system. For information on managing users
and groups on a domain, see the domain documentation available on the Microsoft web site.
If the storage system is deployed in a domain environment, the domain controller will store new
accounts on the domain; however, remote systems will store new accounts locally unless they are
granted permissions to create accounts on the domain.

Using Ethernet NIC teaming (optional)—Select models are equipped with an HP or Broadcom
NIC Teaming utility. The utility allows administrators to configure and monitor Ethernet network
interface controller (NIC) teams in a Windows-based operating system. These teams provide options
for increasing fault tolerance and throughput.

Activating iLO 2 Advanced features using a license key—The Remote Console feature of iLO 2
requires a license key. The key is included with the storage system inside the Country Kit. See the
iLO 2 Advanced License Pack for activation instructions.

Adjusting logging for system, application, and security events.
