Sun Microsystems StorageTek 6140, Manual

Page: 15 / 32

This procedure relies on the following assumptions:
■
You have not installed the Solaris Operating System.
■
You have not installed the Sun Cluster software.
■
Your cluster has not been established.
■
You have enough host adapters to connect the nodes and the storage array to the service
processor panel.
If you need to install host adapters, see “How to Replace a Host Adapter” on page 27 . When this
procedure asks you to replace the failed host adapter, simply install the new host adapter instead.

Install and Cable the Hardware
Unpack, place, and level the storage array.
For instructions, see the StorageTek online documentation listed in Table P–2 .
(Optional) Install the Fibre Channel (FC) switch for the storage array if you do not have a switch
installed.
For the procedure about how to install an FC switch, see the documentation that shipped with your
FC switch hardware.
Connect the nodes to the service processor panel.
■
(SAN Configuration) Connect the FC switches to the service processor panel.
■
(Direct-Attached Configuration) Connect each node to the service processor panel directly.
For instructions, see the StorageTek documentation listed in “Related Documentation” on page 6 .
