IBM System Storage TS7650G 3958 DD4, Installation Roadmap Manual

Page: 107 / 232

Procedure
1. Connect fibre channel cables according to Table 25 on page 68 and Figure 28 on
page 67.
Note: The customer must use an additional connectivity device between the
optical Fibre directly connected to RMSS optical adapters (for example, Fibre,
ESCON, or FICON) and an external public network. It can be a patch panel,
router, switch, or other suitable device. Optical Fibre connectivity that does not
go over a public network does not require an additional connectivity device.
2. Use Table 25 on page 68 and Figure 28 on page 67 to verify that the
recommended disk components are cabled correctly. (Connections to the
customer's host network not shown).
3.
Make any necessary adjustments to cable labeling or placement, then go to
“Powering-up the components.”
Powering-up the components
Power-up the recommended hardware components in the order shown in Table 26.
For more information on power-up procedures for each recommended component
type, see the related sections that follow.
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.
However, if the IP address of an SMTP server is provided during RAS package
configuration, the disk storage subsystems that communicate with the RAS
package (which includes DS4700 and DS5000 if they have firmware levels
supported by RAS) will send problem reports to the customer via email.
