HP StorageWorks P4000 G2 Unified NAS Gateway User Guide (5697-0624, November 2010)

2 Installing and configuring the server
Setup overview
The HP StorageWorks P4000 G2 Unified NAS Gateway comes preinstalled with the Microsoft
Windows® Storage Server™ 2008 R2 Enterprise x64 Edition operating system with Microsoft iSCSI
Software Target and a Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) license included.
IMPORTANT:
• Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 x64 operating systems are designed to support 32–bit applic-
ations without modification; however, any 32–bit applications that are run on these operating
systems should be thoroughly tested before releasing the storage system to a production environ-
ment.
• Windows Storage Server x64 editions support only x64-based versions of Microsoft Management
Console (MMC) snap-ins, not 32-bit versions.
Determine an access method
Before you install the storage system, you need to decide on an access method.
The type of access you select is determined by whether or not the network has a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. If the network has a DHCP server, you can install the storage
system through the direct attachment or remote management methods. If your network does not have
a DHCP server, you must access the storage system through the direct attachment method.
The direct attachment method requires a display, keyboard, and mouse. These components are not
provided with the storage system.
IMPORTANT:
Only the direct attach and remote management access methods can be used to install the storage
system. After the storage system installation process is complete and the system's IP address has been
assigned, you can then additionally use the remote browser and remote desktop methods to access
the storage system.
