Host System Requirements

Data hosts connected to MSA2000 Family 2012i Modular Smart Arrays must meet 
the following requirements:

■

Systems must have two dedicated Ethernet ports available with either HBAs or 
Ethernet adapters (NIC hardware) that support iSCSI connectivity.

■

For systems with iSCSI HBAs, install any HBA drivers required for your 
system as specified in the MSA QuickSpecs. QuickSpecs can be found from 
your HP MSA products page at 

http://www.hp.com/go/msa

. Select MSA 

SAN Arrays, and then select your product. The link for QuickSpecs will be on 
the right.

■

For systems using NIC hardware, you must install and configure the 
Microsoft® iSCSI Software Initiator. For more information, see “Installing the 
Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator” on page 40.

■

Depending on your system configuration, data host operating systems may 
require that multipathing is supported. If a data host uses a single cable to attach 
to the storage, then multipathing software is not required. If a data host uses 
multiple cables to attach to the storage, and fault tolerance is expected, then 
multipathing software is required.

To obtain the MSA2000 Family MPIO DSM, go to the HP MSA products page at

. Select MSA SAN Arrays, select your product, 

and go to Related products.
