Completing system configuration
After the storage server is physically set up and the basic configuration is established, additional setup
tasks must be completed. Depending on the deployment scenario of the storage server, 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
server. For recommendations, instructions, and documentation to help manage the software
update, hotfix, and security patches process on the storage server, see Microsoft Software Updates
on HP ProLiant Storage Servers at http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/storageservers.html .
• Creating and managing users and groups—User and group information and permissions
determine whether a user can access files. If the storage server is deployed into a workgroup
environment, this user and group information is stored locally on the device. By contrast, if the
storage server 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 server. For information on managing users
and groups on a domain, see the domain documentation available on the Microsoft web site.
• 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 server inside the Country Kit. See the
iLO 2 Advanced License Pack for activation instructions.
• Adjust logging for system, application, and security events.
• Installing third-party software applications—For example, these might include an antivirus
application that you install.
