T3 Installation and Configuration
Establish T3 Ethernet Access
To configure and manage the partner group, you must use the T3’s Ethernet (10BaseT)
connection. You will need the following information: T3 IP Address; Subnet Mask; Gateway
IP Address. Connect both Ethernet cables to the Ethernet switch, which will be used for
remote management access. Only the master T3 will be accessible under these conditions.
However, the alternate master should also be connected in case the master T3 fails.
Refer to the installation process in the SUN StorEdge T3 Disk Tray Installation, Operation,
and Service Manual.
After performing SUN’s disk tray inspection and following SUN’s electrical requirements,
edit the host files. Be sure to follow all cautionary notes in the SUN manual.

T3 configuration requirements are as follows:
• T3 must be configured as a “partner group.” See SUN StorEdge T3 Disk Tray
Installation, Operation, and Service Manual , page 2-37, steps 1-8.
• Establish Alternate Pathing on the Host. See SUN StorEdge T3 Disk Tray Installation,
Operation, and Service Manual , page 2-44, steps 2 and 3.
• Configure the T3 for MultiPath Read/Write mode (MP r/w).
• Configure each disk tray to represent one LUN with one hot spare. You must establish
dual data paths. This is done by configuring each disk tray as a single LUN. See Table
