Before an HCP with SAN-attached storage system can be deployed, you need to ensure that the intended location for the system meets certain environmental requirements. If the location does not already meet these requirements, you should wait to deploy the system until the necessary changes have been made.
You also need to have on hand the additional components that enable you to complete the connections between the HCP system and your environment.
This chapter describes the conditions and components required for the successful installation and operation of an HCP with SAN-attached storage system.
