Windows Multilingual User Interface on Storage Server service release DVD The latest HP ProLiant Storage Server Service Release (SR) DVD includes Microsoft Windows Multilingual User Interface (MUI) pack. The Windows MUI pack is a set of language-specific resource files that can be added to the English version of Windows Server 2003.
CD in Windows Explorer and double-click on Setup.exe. On the HP storage server service release menu, click Install Service Release X.X (where X.X is the version number) to start the setup wizard and from the Features menu, select the appropriate MUI packs and follow the instructions to install them on the system.
Substitute the server name for the serial number if a server name was previously set. Log into the WebUI. This launches the WebUI configuration application (Rapid Startup) on the target HP ProLiant storage server, as shown in Figure Storage server startup...
Connect the monitor, mouse, and keyboard directly to the rear panel connectors of the storage server. Power on the storage server. Log into the device using the WebUI user name and password. HP ProLiant Storage Server user guide...
NOTE: The default login for the WebUI is administrator and the password is hpinvent. The WebUI uses the same login as the local administrator's account or an account with administrative privileges. Open Internet Explorer to launch the WebUI configuration application (Rapid Startup) on the target storage server, as shown in Figure 1.
After the Rapid Startup Wizard is complete, the Welcome window becomes the default page. Completing the system configuration The basic configuration for the HP ProLiant Storage Server is complete at this point, however, some computing environments can require additional settings and configuration.

This section on storage management is required reading material for the storage server administrator. This section develops the concepts and requirements that serve as the basis for successfully using an HP ProLiant Storage Server. Failure to read this section and the appropriate sections on storage management in the administration guide may lead to data loss or file corruption.
Each unit of data is termed a block. The blocks form a set of data stripes over all the hard drives in an array, as shown in Figure HP ProLiant Storage Server user guide...
To protect against data loss from hard drive failure, storage servers should be configured with fault tolerance. HP recommends adhering to RAID 5 configurations. The table below summarizes the important features of the different kinds of RAID supported by the Smart Array controllers.
NOTE: For configurable storage servers, storage limitations are based on the type of SAN to which the storage server is connected. See the individual SAN documentation for limitations of Windows Storage Server 2003. HP ProLiant Storage Server user guide...
Logical storage elements Logical storage elements consist of those components that translate the physical storage elements to file system elements. The storage server uses the WebUI to manage the various types of disks presented to the file system. The WebUI has two types of LUN presentation: basic disk and dynamic disk.
Simple volumes can be mirrored or converted to spanned volumes. Fault tolerant disks cannot be extended either. Therefore, selection of the volume HP ProLiant Storage Server user guide...
RAID. These volumes can also be assigned drive letters or be mounted as mount points off existing drive letters. In general, HP recommends using the array controller for the management of fault tolerance over the use of Windows Storage Server 2003 software RAID because it places an additional level of operating system overhead on volumes.
Formats consist of NTFS, FAT32, and FAT and all three types can be used on the storage server. However, VSS can only use volumes that are NTFS formatted. Also, quota management is possible only on NTFS. HP ProLiant Storage Server user guide...
Permissions can then be granted to those shares based on users or groups of users in each of the file sharing protocols. If your storage server model supports clustering, see the HP ProLiant Storage Server administration guide for complete details on cluster setup.

Additional storage configuration is needed for the creation of data drives. Depending on the type of storage server, storage configuration can involve local storage configuration via the HP Array Configuration Utility, Adaptec Storage Manager, or SAN management tools. Physical drive configuration Each 300 series and 500 series ProLiant Storage Server comes with two hot-pluggable HDDs for the operating system only.
Data volumes are not carved at the factory or by the Quick Restore DVD, and must be configured manually by the end user. Refer to the HP ProLiant Storage Server administration guide for additional information. Default storage configurations...
