Installing the MSA2000 Family SES Driver for
Microsoft Windows Hosts
Installing the MSA2000 Family SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) driver prevents
Microsoft Windows hosts from displaying the Found New Hardware Wizard when
the storage system is discovered.
1. Download MSA2000 Family SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) driver package
msa2000-ses- version.zip from the http://www.hp.com/go/msa . Select MSA
SAN Arrays, select your product, and go to Related products.
2. Extract the package contents to a temporary folder on the host.
3. In that folder, double-click Setup.exe to install the driver.
4. Click Finish.
The driver is installed.
5. Optionally, delete the extracted files and the SES driver package.
Configuration Considerations
Before connecting the controller enclosure to one or more data hosts, consider the
following options and limitations. Fault tolerance and performance requirements
determine whether to optimize your configuration for high availability or high
performance.
Using a Direct or Switch Attach Configuration
Attaching the controller enclosure directly to data hosts is suitable for environments
where the storage is only used by one or two hosts.
Switch attach storage places one or more FC switches between the controller
enclosure and data hosts. This enables more than one host to share a storage system
and provides a level of redundancy if more than one switch is used.
