10. Reinstall the Profiler in the rack.
CAUTION: Observe the safety cautions in the mounting instructions that are shipped
with the Profiler.
11. Reconnect the power cable and management network cable.
12. Connect the fiber cable from the SAN device to one of the FC HBA
connectors on the rear of the Profiler chassis.
13. Power on the Profiler and reinstall the bezel on the front of the chassis.
14. After 5 minutes, verify that the Link LEDs are lit on both the Profiler FC
HBA card and the Fibre Channel device to which it is cabled.
At this point, hardware installation is complete and Profiler should be operating
normally, although the SAN option will not be operational until the software
configuration is completed.
Preparing to configure the software
All Profiler models include the driver for the SAN interface (Fibre Channel Host
Bus Adapter, FC HBA) and the commands necessary to establish a connection
with a SAN device. Nothing needs to be downloaded or loaded from disk.
Ensure that the following conditions are met and information is available before
you begin the software configuration.
LUN _________________________________________________________
The SAN administrator must allocate a LUN (logical unit number) for Profiler
to use. Note that Profiler will reformat and partition its assigned storage area.
Any data on that LUN will be lost unless you specify a command option that
prevents Profiler from copying its existing logs to its LUN.
WWN ________________________________________________________
The administrator’s SAN management solution must associate the LUN with
the World Wide Name (WWN) of the Profiler FC HBA port that is to access
the SAN device. (The WWN is printed beside the connector.)
Login ________________________________________________________
The person performing the software configuration must be able to access the
Profiler command line interface and log in to the account named
mazu
. For an
Enterprise Profiler system, they must by able to log in to each Expansion
Module.
Link _________________________________________________________
The link level connection between Profiler and an FC device must be in
operation. This requires only that the Profiler FC HBA is running and cabled
to a Fibre Channel device, such as a switch or storage device.
