Chapter 7. Planning your storage complex setup
During installation, IBM customizes the setup of your storage complex that is
based on information that you provide in the customization worksheets.
Each time that you install a new storage system or management console, you must
complete the customization worksheets before installation by technical service
representatives.
Use the customization worksheets at IBM Techdocs (http://www.ibm.com/
support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/PRS4743) to specify the initial setup for
the following items:
v
Company information
v
Management console network settings
v
Remote support (includes call home and remote service settings)
v
Notifications (includes SNMP trap and email notification settings)
v
Power control
v
Control Switch settings
Important:
Technical service representatives cannot install a storage system or
management console until you provide them with the completed customization
worksheets.
Company information
Specify on the company information worksheet any information that technical
service personnel (or your service provider) can use to contact you as quickly as
possible or to access your storage complex.
This information includes the following items:
v
General company information, such as company name and telephone number
v
Administrator contact information
v
Storage complex location
You must complete this worksheet for all installations that include a management
console.
Management console network settings
Use the management console network setting worksheet to specify the IP address
and LAN settings for your management console.
The management console network settings include the following items:
v
Management console network identification
v
Ethernet settings, if you want the management console to connect to your LAN
v
DNS settings, if you plan to use a domain name server to resolve network
names
v
Routings, if you want to specify a default gateway for routing
Note:
IBM attaches your LAN after the storage complex is installed and in
operation.
