Overview continued
If you do not already have a Powerlink account,
we strongly recommend that you go
and set one up immediately
. The Powerlink
website is
your portal to the latest documentation and troubleshooting information, user-
customized documentation specific to your configuration, and utilities and wizards
required for the installation, such as the E-Lab™ Interoperability Navigator and the
Navisphere® Service Taskbar. Use the search feature to navigate the website.
If you are installing the CX3-40c in an environment other than Windows (such as AIX, Linux,
HP-UX, or Solaris), the Powerlink website contains configuration and installation information
for those operating systems, including the EMC Installation Roadmap for CX3-Series, CX-Series,
AX-Series and FC-Series Storage Systems. The roadmap provides detailed checklists of
installation procedures for supported storage-system environments, and lists the documents
you will need to complete each task.
Preinstall - Step 1
Prepare the site
1. Verify that your facility has adequate network wiring to provide the following:
•
An Ethernet connection for the management port on each storage processor
(SP).
•
An Ethernet connection for each of the iSCSI data ports (four per SP) that you
will use. These ports should be on a different subnet from the management
ports. In addition, each network interface card (NIC) or iSCSI host bus adapter
(HBA) initiator port in a server requires a unique IP address. In a server with
multiple NICs or iSCSI HBAs connected directly to the storage system, or on a
dedicated iSCSI network, the initiator ports must be on separate subnets.
