A Installing Storage Software Manually

WARNING!
Service Processor Setup wizards are not available.
This appendix describes how to manually set up and configure the storage system software and
SP. You must execute these scripted procedures from a laptop after powering on the storage system.

Connecting to the Laptop

You can connect the laptop directly to a controller node or SP using the connector cables. Once
you have established a serial or Ethernet connection, you can access the CLI to perform maintenance
procedures.

Connecting the Laptop to the Controller Node

Connect the RJ45 cable to the controller node MGMT port (known as the public interface) to the
maintenance laptop with a LAN connection.
For a two-node system, both nodes need to be connected to the public network. HP recommends
that each node of a four-node system have a public network connection. If only two connections
are used on a four-node system, each node pair should have a connection. Node pairs are 0–1
and 2–3.

Connecting the Laptop to the HP 3PAR Service Processor

See the section "Connecting a Laptop to the SP" in the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7450 Storage Installation
Guide.

Serial Cable Connections

The gray adapter for the laptop (PN 180-0055) is used on the serial port for connection to the
controller node MFG port. You will need a USB-to-serial adapter on a modern laptop to have a
serial port.
The black adapter for the SP (PN 180-0059) connects the Ethernet port on the maintenance laptop
to the maintenance port on the SP.

Maintenance PC Connector Pin-outs

Connect the maintenance laptop to the serial port on the SP using a standard Ethernet cable and
connector.
