Completing the Windows configuration

When prompted, enter the default Windows
Administrator password (

HPinvent!

). Then, the Setup

Windows wizard is displayed, in which you select
language and regional settings and accept the license
agreement. After installing some additional software,
the server blade reboots.

After the reboot, log on as the local administrator. The
Initial Configuration Tasks (ICT) window starts
automatically. Complete the tasks in sequential order
to complete the configuration of the system. For more
information on any task, click the help icon for the
appropriate task group in the ICT window.

Creating a Windows failover cluster
(optional)

Multiple HP 3830 Gateway Storage Blades are often
deployed as a Windows failover cluster to offer highly
available file services for SAN storage. If you are
deploying a cluster, install and configure each server
blade using the instructions in this document. Then,
see the HP StoreEasy 3000 Online Help for additional
information about creating the cluster.

IMPORTANT:

HP strongly recommends that

you validate your configuration when using
clusters. Whether you create a cluster through
the ICT or the Failover Cluster Manager, one of
the first steps is validating your configuration
using the Microsoft cluster validation tool. If you
choose to skip the validation step, you can still
validate the cluster after it is created.
