This service provides for the unpacking, installation, and basic configuration of your higher-performance HP ProLiant storage server (network attached storage, [NAS]) devices. NAS clustering is also included when appropriate. This service begins with verification that you have completed all prerequisite worksheets. HP will perform the physical unpacking, installation, initialization, and basic configuration of the NAS appliance. Load-balancing and failover functionality will be enabled where available. If the storage server is sold as dedicated NAS storage, internal NAS storage and external storage are connected and basic logical unit number (LUN) configuration is completed. SAN connected storage is also connected. If a NAS cluster is desired (and appropriate cluster components are purchased), the installation and configuration of the cluster service are also performed. The NAS functionality will then be validated through the creation and verification of a sample file share. A sample file data copy, or snapshot, is also created.
