Basic operation

Verify that you have completed the sequential "Installation Checklist" instructions in
Once you have successfully completed steps 1 through 8 therein, you can access the management
interface using your web browser to complete the system setup.

Accessing the SMU

Upon completing the hardware installation, you can access the web-based management interface—SMU
(Storage Management Utility)—from the controller module to monitor and manage the storage system.
Invoke your web browser, and enter the IP address of the controller module's network port in the address
field (obtained during completion of "Installation Checklist" step 8), then press Enter. To Sign In to the
SMU, use the default user name manage and password !manage. If the default user or password—or
both—have been changed for security reasons, enter the secure login credentials instead of the defaults.
This brief Sign In discussion assumes proper web browser setup.
IMPORTANT:
in the web-posted HP MSA 2040 SMU Reference Guide.
The Getting Started section provides instructions for signing-in to the SMU, introduces key concepts,
addresses browser setup, and provides tips for using the main window and the help window.
TIP: After signing in to the SMU, you can use online help as an alternative to consulting the reference guide.

Configuring and provisioning the storage system

Once you have familiarized yourself with the SMU, use it to configure and provision the storage system. If
you are licensed to use the optional Remote Snap feature, you may also need to set up storage systems for
replication. Refer to the following topics within the SMU Reference Guide or online help:
• Configuring the system
• Provisioning the system
• Using Remote Snap to replicate volumes
NOTE: See the "Installing a license" topic within the SMU Reference Guide for instructions about creating
a temporary license or installing a permanent license.
IMPORTANT:
use its Illegal Request setting. To do so, see either the configuration topic "Changing the missing LUN response"
in the SMU Reference Guide or the command topic "set-advanced-settings" in the CLI Reference Guide.
For detailed information on accessing and using the SMU, see the "Getting started" section
If the system is used in a VMware environment, set the system Missing LUN Response option to
Table 1 (page 19).
