13.
Connect the sci0 ports between 7700 FSP Controller A and B using 10 Gbps Ethernet
(10GbE) cabling.
14.
Confirm link state and IP using the following commands:
15.
Issue the
ping
command from 7700 FSP Controller A to 7700 FSP Controller B (and from
the reverse direction) to test access:
The 7700 FSP Controller initial setup has been completed. You must still create LUNs, enable the
Configuration Repository (CR), and enable HA using a combination of Symphony Help and CLI
commands.
Note:
If you will use iSCSI, see
Configuring 7700 FSP Controllers for iSCSI
complete configuring the 7700 FSP Controllers for iSCSI. After completing iSCSI configuration on
the 7700 FSP Controllers, return here to complete the setup for the 7700 FSP Controllers.
Using Symphony to Set Up the 7700 FSP
Controller
This section describes the remaining tasks you need to complete set up for the 7700 FSP
Controllers:
•
Create a SAN client and a LUN to act as a Configuration Repository (CR)
•
Create and Enable a CR for each 7700 FSP Controller
•
Configure and Enable HA on each 7700 FSP Controller
Creating SAN Clients and CRs
Before creating SAN clients and Configuration Repositories, verify you have completed the
following prerequisites:
•
All storage shelves have been zoned and recognized by the 7700 FSP Controllers.
•
All storage shelves have been installed, configured, and managed by Symphony.
Use Symphony to create a SAN client for each 7700 FSP Controller on all storage shelves that will
contain a Configuration Repository (CR) LUN, by completing the following:
1.
Create SAN clients using the procedure described in the "Creating and Deleting SAN Clients"
topic in Symphony Help on each storage shelf you selected.
2.
In Symphony, create a 11GB LUN using the procedure described in the "Adding LUNs" topic in
Symphony Help on each storage shelf specified in step 1.
