Configuration and Setup of C8S94-60001 HP 3Par StoreServ 8000 Dual Port
Here are the steps to configure and set up the HP 3Par Storeserv 8000 Dual Port 10GB iSCSI/FCoE adapter C8S94-60001:
- Install the adapter card in the appropriate PCIe slot in your server. Be sure to follow proper grounding and anti-static precautions when handling the card.
- Connect the appropriate cables to the adapter ports and to the iSCSI/FCoE network.
- Install the appropriate drivers and software for the adapter on the server. These may be available from HP’s website or included with the card.
- Configure the adapter settings using the appropriate management software. This may include setting the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway for the adapter, as well as any other required settings.
- Configure the iSCSI/FCoE targets on the storage array that the server will connect to. This will typically involve setting up a new volume or LUN, and configuring the access settings for the server’s iSCSI initiator.
- Once the iSCSI/FCoE targets have been configured, use the server’s iSCSI initiator software to connect to the storage array. This will typically involve entering the IP address or hostname of the storage array, as well as the target volume or LUN that was configured in step 5.
- Verify that the server can see the storage array and access the target volume or LUN. This can be done using the appropriate storage management software, or by checking the server’s disk management utility.
