HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage - Manual (Page 8)

◦ The HP 3PAR storage system setup is verified, the storage system is powered on, and the
LEDs are functioning correctly.
◦ Either the physical Service Processor is installed and powered on, and you have assigned
an IP address; or the virtual Service Processor ( VSP ) is installed and connected, and you
have determined the temporary IP address.
•
Make sure you have:
Administrative access to the Windows host systems you are configuring
If you are planning to configure a remote host system (a machine other than the machine
into which you inserted the SmartStart media), you must be able to use the same ID and
◦
password to gain administrator access to both the system running SmartStart (the local
host) and the remote host.
◦ Rights to configure storage
To configure storage, your user account on the HP 3PAR storage system must be assigned
either a Super or Edit role, or be granted these rights: host_create, vv_create, and
vlun_create.
◦ HP 3PAR storage system and Service Processor information necessary for initialization
and configuration
