• I/O Modules connect the controller nodes to the drives using SAS cables, enabling the transferof data between the nodes, the drives, PCMs, and enclosures. The I/O modules are locatedat the rear of the drive enclosure and are numbered 0 to 1 from bottom to top. There are twoI/O modules per enclosure.

6 System Components and Specifications

• The HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage system can include an HP 3PAR Service Processor (SP)or can use a Virtual Service Processor (VSP). If your configuration includes an SP, it will belocated at the bottom of the rack under the enclosures and above the power distribution units(PDU).

• Power Cooling Module is an integrated power supply, battery, and cooling fan. There aretwo types of PCMs:

◦ The 580 W is used in the drive enclosures and does not include a battery.

◦ The 764 W (includes a replaceable battery) is used in the node enclosures. The PCMsare located at the rear of the system, on either side of an enclosure.

There are two PCMs per enclosure that are numbered from 0 to 1, from bottom to top andleft to right.

NOTE: In the HP M6720 Drive Enclosure, there are two PCMs that are diagonally from oneanother and the remaining PCM slots are filled with blank panels.

• The Power Distribution Units (PDU) are housed in the HP G3 rack. There are two PowerDistribution Units (PDUs) that are mounted horizontally at the bottom of the rack and arenumbered 0 to 1 from bottom to top.

Capacity SpecificationsThe following table lists system capacity and configuration details.

NOTE: SSDs have a limited number of writes that can occur before reaching the SSD's writeendurance limit. This limit is generally high enough so wear out will not occur during the expectedservice life of an HP 3PAR StoreServ under the great majority of configurations, IO patterns, andworkloads. HP 3PAR StoreServ tracks all writes to SSDs and can report the percent of the totalwrite endurance limit that has been used. This allows any SSD approaching the write endurancelimit to be proactively replaced before they are automatically spared out. An SSD has reached themaximum usage limit once it exceeds its write endurance limit. Following the product warrantyperiod, SSDs that have exceeded the maximum usage limit will not be repaired or replaced underHP support contracts.

When the equipment arrives, you must make sure that there is enough room to unload and unpackthe storage system.The specific amount of space you will need to unpack the storage system is based on the dimensionsof the container, the ramp, and the room required to access the storage system so that it can bemoved to its placement destination.

NOTE: See “Structural/Environmental Considerations” (page 19) for more information on placingthe storage systems and reserving room for service access.

AcclimatizationStorage systems are shipped or stored at extreme temperatures and may require time to adjust tooperating temperatures before startup. The maximum acceptable rate of temperature change fora non-operating system is 36° F/hour (20° C/hour). The storage system requires time to acclimatizeto new environmental conditions before being powered on. During that time, it is possible toproceed with the physical installation of the storage system. However, the storage system mayneed at least 24 hours to acclimatize to a new environment prior to completing the full systeminstallation. If condensation is present even after the 24–hour acclimatization period, it is necessaryto wait until all condensation has evaporated before completing the power-on sequence.

18 General Site Planning

3 Structural/Environmental ConsiderationsConsider the following when choosing or designing your facilities for the storage system:

• Equipment location and layout that allows efficient use, easy maintenance, and futureexpansion.

• Facility construction that provides a suitable operating environment, sufficient power, andadequate protection from fire, contamination, or other hazards.

• Suitable temperatures and appropriate air quality that is free from environmental contaminants.The customer is responsible for maintaining the room environment according to the recommendedspecifications. Environmental conditions for the room and under the floor must be maintained withinthe acceptable limits to prevent any adverse impact on performance and reliability. The installationenvironment should be monitored on a regular basis to ensure continued conformance torecommended environmental specifications. The customer may request assistance from an HP 3PARrepresentative for help with analyzing the site location and environment to make appropriaterecommendations.For information on rack requirements and considerations, see the Best practices for HP IntelligentSeries Rack Family white paper.

NOTE: The example uses nominal numbers to simplify calculations.

Anchoring DimensionsSome installations may require the storage systems to be anchored to the floor for better stability,especially in active seismic locations. The HP Tie Down Option Kit enables you to anchor anIntelligent Series Rack to the floor in geographical areas that are prone to seismic activity, therebymeeting international building code guidelines. This product provides a solution to help avoiddamage or serious injury in the event of building or floor movement.

NOTE: For information on options available for the Intelligent Series Rack, refer to the RackOptions Catalog at www.hp.com/go/rackandpower.For information on rack requirements and considerations, see the Best practices for HP IntelligentSeries Rack Family white paper.

Meeting Environmental ConditionsHP recommends that you maintain a controlled environment with a high degree of cleanliness,close control of temperature and humidity, and infrequent access by personnel.

CAUTION: The storage system operating environment must be free from continuous vibrationand from dust and other environmental contaminants.

Maintaining the Optimal TemperatureThe level of cooling required for the storage systems is quite different from the air-conditioningused in offices. Air conditioning systems for comfort are designed for the lower heat and highermoisture generated by the human body. In contrast, equipment has high heat output that ismoisture-free (sensible heat). In comfort systems, sensible heat normally produces 60–70% of theload, whereas the dry heat of electronic equipment produces a sensible heat ratio of over 95%.Prior to installation, verify the operating site is equipped with a cooling system that can supportall thermal emissions.Proper site layout is critical to ensure the ambient temperature near the intake of the system doesnot rise beyond the system specifications. Exceeding the maximum ambient temperature for anyperiod negatively affects the reliability and performance of the system. Continued operation forextended periods under such conditions might actually cause the system to shut down.

CAUTION: Heated air from nearby equipment should not exhaust into the front of the storagesystem.

Use the following average and maximum thermal emissions of storage system components toestimate the cooling requirements for a storage system based on a specific system configuration.

Table 9 Thermal Emissions of Components

9,946 BTU/hr (2,506.4 Kcal/hr)7,314 BTU/hr (1,843.2 Kcal/hr)Drive enclosure (pair)2

1 Controller nodes can only be installed in pairs.2 Storage systems require a minimum of two drive enclosure. However, additional drive enclosure can be installedindividually.

Storage systems can tolerate temperature and humidity fluctuations if the specified guidelines areunderstood and followed. Exposure to conditions outside the specified ranges may damage thesystem or its components.Before a system is powered on, the air entering the subsystem must be clean and within the rangesspecified for temperature and humidity. The room humidity must be kept sufficiently low to preventcondensation on or within the subsystem, and must never exceed the limit specified in the subsystemenvironmental requirements tables, including transient humidity. The system must never be exposedto conditions that could cause internal condensation to occur within the subsystem.The air conditioning units should have controls monitoring thermal conditions underneath the floor.Humidification is normally required to replace moisture removed during the cooling process. The

20 Structural/Environmental Considerations

www.hp.com/go/rackandpower

relative humidity for a subsystem equipment room should be set at 40%. This level is sufficient tosuppress electromagnetic charge buildup, and low enough to avoid the risk of corrosion andcondensation. To avoid air contamination from the humidifier, water treatment may be necessaryin areas with high mineral content.

Air Supply and FlowThe air flow capacity of the facility where the storage systems are installed needs to be sufficientto remove the heat generated by the equipment. In addition, the air handlers must provide theairflow volume required by the units being cooled. To ensure this airflow, the facility must have apositive air pressure underneath the floor (if the facility has raised floors). When conditions withinthe computer room are changed (new units are added, the computer system is moved, and so on),airflow checks should be made.The amount of outside (composition) air should be kept to the minimum needed to create a slightpositive pressure within the room, and it should not exceed industry recommendations of 0.3 cubicmeters/minute (10 cubic feet/minute) per person stationed in the equipment room. Whilerecommendations for outside air in comfort air conditioning are 10–15% of the airflow, the computerroom environment is cleaner and operates more efficiently if outside air is kept below 1 percentof the airflow. Cooling/heating and humidification needs are reduced, and a minimum ofcontaminated building air is introduced into the installation area.

Air CleanlinessAir contaminants can cause equipment malfunction and can damage storage systems. It is essentialthat steps be taken to prevent air contaminants, such as metal particles, solvent vapors, corrosivegases, soot, airborne fibers, or salt, from entering or being generated within the server roomenvironment.A high-efficiency air filter should be employed on each air inlet for outside air to stop dust at thepoint of entry to the installation site. Special additional filtering is necessary where the environmentis exposed to salt air, corrosive gases, or unusual dust/dirt conditions. Electronic equipment issensitive to air contaminants such as the following:

• Excessive amounts of soot particles

• Condensate particulates such as carbonates

• Concrete particulates from unsealed concrete

• Metal flakes or filings, such as those produced by sawing, filing, or drilling

• Floor-cleaning solutions with high ammonia content.

• Deteriorating/decomposing building materials, including floor tiles, fabrics, sheetrock,insulation, and acoustical tiles

• Pollutants generated by any servicing performed in and around the computer room

• Paper chaff, dust, and toners from printers within the computer room

• Processing chemicals from reproduction equipment such as microfiche processors.In electronic equipment, contaminants cause connector contact and motor-bearing degradation.They also cause electrical leakage, shorting paths between integrated circuit leads and betweenprinted wiring traces on printed circuit boards.Air supplied to and circulated within the server room and plenums underneath the floor shouldideally pass through mechanical or electrostatic filters. HVAC ducts and plenums and sub-floorareas, including cable raceway openings (where used), should be kept clean. All unused cables,hardware, and debris should be removed from the area underneath the floor to avoid becomingdust/dirt traps or potential sources of rust.During major changes in the server room environment, special considerations must be taken intoaccount whenever any drilling, sawing, welding, brazing, and so on, is performed.

Meeting Environmental Conditions 21

Precautions must be taken to prevent material particles (concrete or metal particles for example.)from becoming airborne. Storage systems should be powered down during construction thatrequires any drilling, sawing, welding, brazing, and so on. In addition, all debris must be removedbefore powering up the systems. Maximum concentrations of corrosive gases and solvent vaporsmust also be considered.

22 Structural/Environmental Considerations

4 Power RequirementsThe following describes all power domains within a HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage systems.

Electrical Requirements and LimitationsBefore physically installing a storage system, verify that the operating site has the necessary electricalcircuitry. Each storage system requires four (200 - 240) Volt, 30 Amp outlets, or two outlets if onlythe bottom half of the rack is occupied. For proper redundant power protection, power should besupplied from two or more power sources. Use the approximate current requirements for storagesystem components listed in “Power and Heat Specifications” (page 12) to estimate the current,power, and heat requirements for a specific system configuration.

Power QualityThe quality of the input power is critical to the performance and reliability of the system. Variationsin the input power can cause a power failure or malfunction. Many of the causes of transient signalsand noise on commercial power lines are difficult to locate or are beyond the customer’s control.To reduce the impact of the irregularities, some form of power conditioning may be needed. Consultyour electrician for assistance.

Voltage and Frequency ToleranceSteady state voltage must be maintained within 10% of the normal rated voltage, measured (underload) at the power input terminal of the specified server. The frequency must be maintained at(50-60 HZ), 1 phase 50/60 +2%, -4%.When there is a possibility of brownouts or other marginal voltage conditions, installing a voltagemonitor is advisable.Systems are tested to comply with the IEC/EN 61000–4–5 standard.HP recommends installing a lightning protection device on the server room power source whenthe following conditions exist:

• The primary power is supplied by an overhead power service.

• The utility company installs lightning protectors on the primary power source.

• The area is subject to electrical storms or equivalent types of power surges.

Electrostatic DischargeStorage systems are susceptible to failure due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Electrostatic chargescan accumulate on people and furniture because of direct contact with floor coverings or movementwhile in contact with furniture coverings. Discharge of static electricity to a metal surface on serverracks can interfere with the system operation and cause discomfort to anyone who comes in contactwith it.Some factors contributing to electrostatic discharge are the following:

• High-resistance floor covering

• Carpeting without antistatic properties

• Low humidity (less than 20%)The system is tested to comply with the IEC/EN 61000–4–2 standard.

Branch CircuitsThe individual panel branch circuits should be protected by suitable circuit breakers properly ratedaccording to manufacturer specifications and applicable codes. Each circuit breaker should be

Electrical Requirements and Limitations 23

labeled to identify the branch circuit it is controlling. The receptacle should also be labeled. Planon a circuit breaker maximum of 30 A per PDU (de-rated to 24 A).

Emergency Power ControlAs a safety precaution, you might consider providing emergency power-off controls for disconnectingthe main service wiring that supplies storage systems. Install these controls at a convenient placefor the operators and next to the main exit doors of the room after checking local electrical codesfor further guidelines.

Power Distribution UnitsIn HP-integrated storage systems, four PDUs are mounted horizontally below the enclosures at thebottom rear of the rack. Numbers for PDUs are assigned beginning with 0, from bottom to top.

NOTE: If a storage system rack does not have components installed in the top portion of the rack,do not connect and use the two upper PDUs (PDU 2 and PDU 3) to power the system. Redundantpower is still supplied to the lower bays in the rack through PDU 0 and PDU 1.

Storage system PDUs are equipped with NEMA® L6–30 or IEC 60309 connectors, depending onthe region. International PDUs are equipped with IEC 60309, 2P+E (3 wire, 2 Pole + Earth Ground)connectors. The appropriate receptacles or adapters are necessary at the operating site toaccommodate these connectors.Each PDU is equipped with two power banks and separate circuit breakers, used exclusively forstorage system components.

WARNING! To avoid possible injury, damage to storage system equipment, and potential lossof data, do not use the surplus power outlets in the storage system PDUs. Never use outlets in thePDUs to power components that do not belong to the storage system or to power storage systemcomponents that reside in other racks.

Power Cord ConnectionsStorage systems arrive with all internal power cords configured. Each PDU AC cord connects tothe wall outlet and supplies power to the node and drive enclosure power supplies. The powercan be routed from the top or bottom of the rack.

Redundant PowerThe storage system supports redundant power through the use of PDUs and PCMs.

WARNING! To avoid possible injury, damage to storage system equipment, and potential lossof data, do not use the surplus power outlets in the storage system PDUs. Never use outlets in thePDUs to power components that do not belong to the storage system or to power storage systemcomponents that reside in other racks.

To support redundant power:

• The PCMs in each enclosure must connect to separate PDUs.

• Each PDU in the system must connect to an independent AC circuit.

Power Cooling ModulesThe storage system includes an enclosure that has two PCMs, an integrated power supply, and acooling fan and battery, that are located at the rear of the system on either side of an enclosure.The PCM converts current from an AC line to appropriate DC levels and supplies power to thecontroller node.

24 Power Requirements

There are two types of PCMs:• 580 W PCM - Used in HP M6720 and HP M6710 drive enclosures

• 764 W PCM (includes a replaceable battery pack) - Used in controller node enclosuresThe following table provides the technical specifications of the replaceable battery located insidethe 764 W PCM.

Controller Node ConnectionsThe controller nodes provide the ports that are required to connect to external drives, systems, andother devices. A controller node contains one PCIe slot that accepts the dual-port or quad-portFibre Channel adapter, dual-port or quad-port NIC, or the dual port 10 Gb/s iSCSI adapter. Thenumber of ports available for the host connection will vary based on the configuration.

NOTE: Ethernet Port (MGMT) is also used for the management interface connection.

Fibre Channel SFP adapters are used to connect to the customer FC switch and/or hosts and canalso be used for Remote Copy operations. Depending on whether your system includes two or fournodes and the type of PCI adapter installed (FC or CNA), a system can support a maximum of4–24 SFPs.

Controller Node Connections 27

Required CablesThe quantities and lengths of the cables required for storage system installation vary according tothe specific storage system and network configuration. Fibre Channel cables are used externallyto connect the controller node to the customer switch or host (in the case of a directly connectedhost). The SAS cables are used to connect the controller node to the drive enclosures.

NoneMaintenance

1 To provide redundancy and to permit online software upgrades, both controller nodes in a node pair (for example,nodes 0 and 1 and nodes 2 and 3) must maintain connections to each host server.

• Each controller node supports one Ethernet connection to a switch or hub. Separate connectionsfrom the Ethernet switch or hub to at least two controller nodes are required to supportredundancy. With redundancy, one IP address is shared between the two connections andonly one network connection is active at a time. If the active network connection fails, the IPaddress is automatically moved to the surviving network connection.

• At a minimum, the storage system requires one Fibre Channel (or iSCSI) connection from ahost computer to a controller node. However, HP recommends separate connections fromeach host computer to each of the controller nodes in the storage system, with connectionsdistributed evenly across all nodes.

The following shows the maximum supported Fibre Channel cable length based on the cable sizeand port speed:

Cable Routing OptionsFor 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE), iSCSI, and Fibre Channel cables that connect the storage systemto the customer network or hosts, approximately 7 feet (2 meters) of each cable must be reservedfor internal routing within the storage system rack.

Network AccessExternal Ethernet, iSCSI, FCoE, or Fibre Channel cable connections are completed at the time ofinstallation. These external connections are necessary to do the following:• Establish connections from the controller nodes to the host computer or computers

• Connect the storage system to the network, enabling storage system management through theHP 3PAR Management Console and HP 3PAR Command Line Interface (CLI)

• Allow communication to the storage system from the SP

Supported Network TopologiesSeveral different network topologies can connect the storage system to the local area network,depending on operating site policies and requirements. Currently, the two supported topologiesare shared and private.

Internal Cable Connections 29

SharedWith a shared network topology, the storage system and SP share the internal customer network.A shared topology requires all of the following:

• A static IP address and system name for the storage system

• A minimum two Ethernet connections from a switch or hub to the storage system controllernodes, if there are more than two nodes

• A static IP address for the SP

• One Ethernet connection from a switch or hub to the SP

PrivateWith a private network topology, both the storage system and SP reside on the same privatenetwork segment of the customer local area network. All management workstations used toadminister the system must also reside on the same private network segment. A private topologyrequires all of the following:

• A static IP address for the storage system

• Two Ethernet connections from the storage system to a private network segment

• A minimum two Ethernet connection from the SP to the private network segment, if there aremore than two nodes

• A static IP address for the SP

• At least one management station on the private network segment

Service Processor ConnectivityThe SP is used to provide remote error detection and reporting, and to support diagnostic andmaintenance activities involving the storage system.HP uses the data collected by the SP to maintain, troubleshoot, and upgrade any HP 3PAR storageequipment on the customer site. To perform these activities, the SP must communicate with HPCentral or a local service provider. The connection between the SP and HP Central or a localservice provider can be made by using the customer network and the Internet. Connections usingthe customer network pass through a customer’s firewall. When a designated managementworkstation resides on the same network as the SP and is configured to access the SP, a customerhas the option to block external communications at any time. The SP needs to be on the samesubnet as the storage system.

6 Third-Party/Existing Rack MountingSome installations may use third-party or existing racks to house the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000Storage components. Install system components only into a standard 19-inch rack. The rack mustalso be equipped with the appropriate PDUs or power receptacles and have access to an adequatepower source that provides the recommended level of redundancy.For site administers who choose to mount storage system components, the following kits areavailable:

• 7200 Node Enclosure

• 7400 Node Enclosure

• Drive Enclosure

• Service Processor

NOTE: For physical dimensions and power/heat specifications for storage system components,see “Power and Heat Specifications” (page 12). For general information on placement andrecommended conditions, see “Structural/Environmental Considerations” (page 19).

Service Installation Prerequisites

Location of Rack• Place the rack in its final location.

• Make sure the operational power, with the correct connectors, exists in the proposed locationof the rack. The system will operate in 100-240VAC 50/60Hz and requires 200-240 VACPDUs or power strips. Each drive enclosure requires two C13/C14 connections. The SPrequires one C13/C14 connection.

• 36 inch (91.4 cm) of service clearance is required directly in front of the rack. This is requireddue to the depth of the enclosure and potential to damage to other equipment that is in frontof the rack/enclosure.

• 30 inch (76.2 cm) of service clearance is required on both sides of the front of the rack. Thisis required because two people must lift the enclosure and set into the rack. The allocatedspace is necessary on each side for the person to stand and maneuver the enclosure.

• 30 inch (76.2 cm) of unobstructed clearance is required directly behind the enclosure toservice the nodes (for example, do not attach PDUs, power-strips, power cord routing, andother things to the back of the rack). There must be unobstructed clearance directly behindthe node enclosure in order to remove or install a controller node.

Rack Requirements• The rack is operational and has enough space for the installation. HP installation and upgrade

services does not include building a new rack, re-racking, or moving existing components.The required contiguous rack space is defined by the quantity of 7000 Storage and driveenclosures in the system. There must be 2U of rack space for each HP 3PAR 7000 Storageenclosure and 2U SAS drive enclosure, 4U of rack space for the 4U SAS drive enclosure, and1U for a service processor. HP also recommends having an open rack space above and belowthe installed storage system components for drive enclosure upgrades.

• Only use a 4–post rack for an installation. Using any other types of racks is prohibited . Thevertical RETMA rails must have square holes.

Service Installation Prerequisites 31

• Customer cabling (power, FC, SAS, and Ethernet) must be routed in an organized path so itdoes not restrict the removal of controller nodes or obstruct the servicing area.

• The rail kits for the 7000 series node and drive enclosures have a supported depth range of24.5 inch to 32 inches (measurement between the inside of the retma rails from front to back).Shipment of the units installed in the third party racks is NOT supported.

Enclosure Installation• Two people are required to lift the enclosure during any servicing purposes.

Service Limitations (Also applicable to third party rack installations)HP will not perform the following tasks:

• Assemble the rack from components

• Configure the rack hardware

• Position the rack

• Perform any extensive racking, re-racking, or cabling activities, including cabling activitiesinvolving conduits, raceways, patch panels, and movement or configuration of computer roomfloor panels.

• Complete a full site inspection, such as a comprehensive analysis of power, cooling andhumidity, airborne contaminants, vibration, and sufficient structural capability of the raisedfloor in the data center to accommodate the weight of the array to be installed.

Dimensional RequirementsRefer to “Physical Specifications” (page 10) for physical specifications of the enclosures.If you are installing any HP equipment in a four-post rack, the rack must comply with the minimumand maximum specifications. A clear path between the front and rear vertical (RETMA) rails mustbe established. There must not be any obstructions to the area when installing the rails andenclosures.

Rack Space ConsiderationsHP highly recommends installing enclosures in contiguous rack space because it ensures the copperSAS reaches the connecting ports, and provides consistency for servicing and installation. Whenadditional drive enclosure are added in the future, it is recommended to place them with the initialenclosure, but it is not required.Your site configuration should also specify an area of contiguous space within the rack for installingHP equipment, such as the top, bottom or middle part of the rack. HP recommends considering anarea closest to the location of the sourced host cables when you are determining an installationarea.Build the rack from bottom to top.

Maintaining Minimum ClearancesProper clearances should be maintained for all mounted installations to allow for proper ventilation,cabling and access for maintenance.

Four-Post Shelf KitThe four-post shelf kits allow the drive enclosure and components to be mounted in a variety offour-post racks. Each enclosure or component requires its own mounting kit.

NOTE: Do not stack the enclosure on top of another one.

Four-post shelves are mounted to the front and rear rails of a four-post rack. Each side requirestwo shelf halves and the corresponding mounting hardware. The shelf halves are expandable tofit racks of different depths. Front shelf halves have left and right pieces, while the rear shelf halfcan be used on either side of the rack. When the installation is complete on both the left and rightsides, the equipment can be placed on the shelves and secured to the RETMA rails.

Redundant Power RequirementsEach storage system component is supplied with redundant PCMs. The controller nodes and driveenclosure are designed to continue operating even when AC power is lost to one of the PCMs.For this feature to operate properly, each power supply line cord within an enclosure must beattached to an independent electrical source, each controlled and protected by its own circuitbreaker. Multiple outlets in a power distribution unit or power strip do not constitute an independentelectrical source.Additionally, each line cord must be plugged into an outlet that is capable of supporting the entireload of its enclosure.

CAUTION: The PDUs are not provided with the installation kit. Verify the PDUs meet the minimumpower requirements before powering on the system. Special consideration must be given to thisrequirement. Failure to do so may result in the overloading of the branch circuit if a power supplyfails, and shuts down the storage system, and cause similar failures in all the equipment connectedto the branch circuit.

CAUTION: AC line cords should be securely attached to the customer PDUs and outlets withcord-retention mechanisms to prevent accidental disconnection during service activities. HP providescord retention mechanisms on HP power supplies but does not supply retention devices forconnection to the customer PDUs or outlets.

Record network informationIt is critical to have the correct networking information available before proceeding with the systeminstallation and configuration. It may be necessary to pre-stage DNS information. Contact yoursystem administrator to clarify network configuration requirements.

IMPORTANT: Before joining the 3PAR StoreServ File Persona controller nodes to the ActiveDirectory domain, ensure network connectivity exists between each node and the domain controller,and the StoreServ system time is in sync with the domain controllers. This is commonly achievedby configuring the StoreServ controllers to synchronize their time with the NTP service running onthe Active Domain controllers.

The HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200c and a 2-node 7400c File Persona require a minimum of 3 IPaddresses, the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7400c with all 4-nodes running File Persona requires a minimumof 5 IP addresses. These addresses may be statically assigned or assigned by a DHCP server orboth. HP recommends assigning static IP addresses. If you are using static addressing or a DHCPserver that does not automatically update DNS, ensure that both forward and reverse DNSinformation (A and PTR records) are pre-staged in the DNS server. Use Table 22 (page 43) orTable 23 (page 44) depending on the HP 3PAR StoreServ model to document your networkinformation before proceeding with system setup.
