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 the MSA2000 Family SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) driver package
msa2000-ses- version.zip from 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.
Connecting Data Hosts to Controller Enclosures
This section explains how to connect the controller enclosure to data hosts through
Ethernet switches.
The controller enclosure has four host connections, two per controller. Connect
Ethernet cables from controller hosts ports to switch ports, and from switch ports to
data hosts, as shown in the following figure.
To maintain redundancy, connect each data host through the switch or switches to
both controller A and controller B. Make sure that link speed and topology settings
on switches match those on the controller host ports to which they are connected. A
speed mismatch prevents the host from accessing the storage system.
Note – For clarity, the schematic illustrations of the controllers shown in this
section show only relevant details such as host ports. For detailed illustrations
showing all components, see “Hardware Components and LEDs” on page 13.
