Before you begin

Read this information before beginning your installation.

Before you begin your installation, print and complete a Configuration worksheet for your storage system
to gather the information that the software setup process requires. The configuration worksheet is
provided in the

Data ONTAP Software Setup Guide

for your version of Data ONTAP, which is available on

the IBM

N series support website:

www.ibm.com/storage/support/nseries/

If you are configuring a storage system as part of a high-availability configuration, some information
types must be unique for each storage system mode in the configuration, and some information types
must be identical on both storage system nodes. If you have a high-availability configuration, IBM
recommends that you print and complete two copies of the configuration worksheet, one for each system
node.
