3. Configure cache optimization. If you are configuring a Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA
array, confirm that cache optimization is sequential.
4. Ensure that the fibre connection is set to point-to-point.
5. Ensure only one target ID per channel is configured.
6. Create at least two logical drives and configure spare disks.
7. Create one or more logical drive partitions for each server.
8. Map Logical Drive 0 to channels 0 and 4 of the primary controller
9. Map Logical Drive 1 to channels 1 and 5 of the secondary controller.
10. If more than two logical drives were created, map even-numbered logical drives to
channels 0 and 4 of the primary controller and odd-numbered logical drives to
channels 1 and 5 of the secondary controller.
11. Connect the first switch to port FC0 of the upper controller and port FC1 of the
lower controller.
12. Connect the second switch to port FC4 of the lower controller and port FC5 of the
upper controller.
13. Connect each server to each switch.
14. Install and enable multipathing software on each connected server.
15. After completing the configuration, save the configuration using “Save nvram to
disks” menu option in the firmware application and the “save configuration”
command in Sun StorEdge Configuration Service.
