Stand-alone gateway installation checklist
About this task
The checklist below outlines the tasks required to successfully install the hardware
in a stand-alone gateway configuration. If you are installing a clustered gateway,
use the “Clustered gateway installation checklist” on page 26.
Important:
This document references IBM 4.8 TB Fibre Channel Disk Controllers and IBM 7.2
TB Fibre Channel Disk Expansion Units in many of the hardware installation
figures, examples, and procedures.
In addition to the IBM DS4700 disk controller, the TS7650G also supports the
DS5000 disk controller, the DS8000 disk controller and the XIV disk controller, as
well as various non-IBM storage solutions. If the customer has elected to use disk
storage components other than the IBM disk controllers mentioned above, the
figures, examples, and procedures in this document will not apply to the
configuration on which you are working. Therefore, it is suggested that you
determine the make and model of the disk storage components in use and, if
necessary, obtain the related product documentation before you begin installation
of the gateway.
The RAS code no longer sends call home packages for problems with any of the
disk storage products attached to the gateway including DS4700. DS5000, DS8000
and XIV.
