Figure 1: Example Redundant Gateway Pair Configuration
Planning
Please carefully read through the following planning recommendations and considerations to make

Do not perform any firmware or software updates or make any component connections until instructed
to do so during the pairing process.
It is also very important to have fully reviewed and be familiar with all portions of the ‘HP VMA-series
SAN Gateway Installation and User Guide’, P/N AM456-9007B-Rev 2. Many steps during this
gateway pairing process will make reference to or defer you to the Installation and User Guide to
perform certain tasks. Some tasks during this pairing process will be performed more easily using the
gateway CLI interface while others will be more easily performed using the web interface. It is
recommended to be very familiar with both interfaces and how to use them for all commands and
tasks.
WARNING: this redundant gateway pairing process is not an online process. There will be points
during the process where data access to VMA Arrays connected to an existing standalone gateway
