Hi,
I am confused about how to properly configure MSA1000 with ESX 3.x. I did a search on Google and found good threads in this community but it left me confused. HP Best Practices guide says to use latest firmaware but minimum of 4.48 and "Active/Passive set to MRU" . When I try to find the 4.48 firwmare on HP web site all I can find is version 7.xx which, as far as I can figure out, only supports Active/Active. Then there is the quesion of configuring two HBA paths via staic through how? This is just frustrating. I am shocked that there is no clear document from either VMware or HP.
Which firware should I be using? Latest is 7xx.
Is Actice/Active ok? Where and how do I confiure this?
Do still need to configure the 2 HBA paths manually? If so, can I do that from Window Server rather then minicom software from ESX? Can't I just follow (there are several diiections out there and not sure which to follow but I can test both) the manual path confis via HypterTerminal\Putty access to Swithc via serial cable?
Thanks.
