10.5 HP StoreVirtual Storage VSA Installation and Configuration Guide (TA688-96138, March 2013)

1. Begin the installer one of the following ways:
• Insert the HP StoreVirtual Management Software DVD in the DVD drive.
• Double-click the executable that you downloaded to start the installation.
2. Click Install VSA for VMware vSphere to begin the wizard.
3. In the Meta Launcher command line window that opens, enter 1 to run the installer CLI, or
enter 2 to run the installer GUI. Both versions require the same information and perform the
same installation.
• If you selected the GUI installation in the Meta Launcher CLI window, the GUI installer
window opens again and you click Install VSA for VMware for vSphere again to begin
the wizard.
4. If necessary, enter the login credentials to allow the installer to configure the VSA for vSphere
on the vSphere server, and click Yes.
5. Accept the terms of the License Agreement again.
6. Work through the wizard to configure the parameters of the virtual machine on the network,
including the hard drives. See Table 2 (page 7).
NOTE: Run the wizard again to configure another VSA for vSphere using the same parameters
as appropriate.
7. Finish the installation, reviewing the configuration summary, and click Deploy.
When the installer is finished, the VSA for vSphere is ready to be used in the HP StoreVirtual
Storage.
8. Next, use the Find function in the CMC to discover the VSA for vSphere, and then add it to
a management group.
Installing the VSA OVF version
Import the VSA for vSphere OVF version as a virtual appliance through the Virtual Infrastructure
Client. Download the .ovf files from the website:

When you import the VSA for vSphere you must perform the following tasks:
• Configure the data disk(s).
• Power on the VSA for vSphere and set the IP address and host name of the VSA for vSphere.
Configuring a data disk
When you configure the data disk, use Table 3 (page 8) to determine the proper size for the
disk. The maximum disk size on the ESX Server is limited by the block size used to format the
datastore.
