Attention:
Do not power on the system at this time.
Note:
The N3400 storage system has no requirement or provision for grounding.
For proper grounding of expansion units, see the
Installation and Setup Instructions
for the expansion
unit.
Setting up and booting the system
Use these instructions to set up and boot the N3400.
1.
Make sure the Configuration worksheet from the
Data ONTAP Software Setup Guide
for your version
of Data ONTAP is completed and available for use.
Note:
IBM recommends that you print a copy of this worksheet from the
Data ONTAP Software Setup
Guide
for your version of Data ONTAP.
2.
Check that your system is properly set up. Make sure that the expansion unit IDs and speed
switches are properly set, and that the cabling is correct for your configuration.
Note:
Make sure that the network and Fibre Channel switches are powered on and configured
before you turn on the system.
3.
Turn on the power to any switches, and then turn on the power to only the expansion units, making
sure you turn them on within 5 minutes of each other. After you have powered on the storage
expansion units, turn on the N3400.
Note:
It takes the LEDs on the system power supplies a few seconds to illuminate.
The system begins to boot, and then it stops at the first setup question, which is displayed on the
console.
4.
Check the console for NVMEM battery messages.
Data ONTAP checks the battery charge when booting. If the battery is not charged enough to hold
the NVMEM contents for a sufficient period, the boot process is stopped until the battery is properly
recharged. However, you can resume booting by following the console messages. You can check the
battery charge level through the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) by pressing
Ctrl+G
and
then entering the
sensor show
command. The battery status is displayed on the console. Exit the
BMC by entering the
system console
command to return to the system console.
Note:
If the battery needs charging, you must leave the system power on.
5.
Go to the system console for each node and answer the installation questions for that node, using
the information recorded in the Configuration worksheet from the
Data ONTAP Software Setup Guide
for your version of Data ONTAP.
If you configured the BMC during setup, the setup script pauses for a short time while the BMC
reboots and sets its configuration information.
Note:
You will be asked to continue setup through the web interface. If you select
No
, you will
continue setup through the command line interface. If you select
Yes
, you can log in to the N3400
using the IP address specified earlier in the setup or you can continue through the command line
interface. Refer to the
Data ONTAP Software Setup Guide
for your version of Data ONTAP for more
information about choosing a setup method.
6.
Check the licenses on the node(s) by entering the following command:
license
Add any missing licenses by entering the following command for each missing license:
license add <license_code>
where
<license_code>
is the license code for the product.
