HP Storevirtual Installation and configuration Guide

In recent past we have been involved in multiple projects and the most interesting one was multi-node HP StoreVirtual 4730 implementation. The entire setup had multiple sites involved and took more time than expected as we ran into some issues during the implementation.
In this series, we will explore the installation and configuration of HP StoreVirtual  4730. HP StoreVirtual Storage systems are basically scale-out storage platforms which are designed to meet the constantly changing needs of virtualized environments. These storage nodes are based on the LeftHand operating(SAN i/Q) systems  and meet the need for simplicity and flexibility in today's virtual data centers.

In this first section we will demonstrate the node configuration using  ILO. Once the hardware is racked and stacked, ensure all cables are properly inserted, connect the power cord and power on the storage system. if you have ILO, ensure to setup an ILO IP address and rest of the things can be done remotely.

Connect to ILO and access remote console option
