Planning Your Storage
o Set up your storage system.
o
The first time your HP NAS VA solution is booted up, it will not recognize that any
storage arrays are attached. To make your solution recognize the attached arrays:
1. Go to the Storage tab.
2. Navigate the logic tree to Quick Setup and select RAID Devices.
3. No RAID devices are listed in the RAID Device Summary. You should see a
message posted that says, "This system has not detected any RAID devices
connected to it. Use the Action button and select "Force Hardware Rescan" to
rescan and detect RAID devices ."
4. Click on the Action button.
5. Select Force Hardware Rescan (slow) to scan for your arrays.
6. From the Action button selection menu, select Initialize and Configure
Storage. This will create LUNs on the array, allowing you to use the storage for
your logical volumes, mount points, and share points.
o Verify that the HP NAS VA is accessible to users by accessing the shares with a
Windows client and mounting the file system from a UNIX client.
After you have setup your HP NAS VA, you can:
o Monitor your system by viewing settings in the Status Tab.
o Enable add-on software such as backup agents and anti-virus protection.
