Prepare the site
Verify that your facility has the following:
❒
Adequate network support to provide each storage processor (SP) management
port with a discrete Ethernet connection and IP address.
❒
Appropriate electrical wiring in place to accommodate your installation’s power
cables. To support all of the storage system’s high-availability features, you must
receive power from at least two separate circuits.
Detailed technical specifications for CX4 series systems, including AC power requirements, are
available on Powerlink.
❒
A Windows workstation available on the same subnet as the storage system’s
management ports. You will use this host:
•
To initialize the storage system
•
As a client to launch Unisphere or Navisphere Manager. This client was
formerly referred to as the
Navisphere
®
management station
❒
CAT 5e or better Ethernet LAN cables (one per SP) for storage-system
management connections.
❒
Appropriate input/output cables as recommended by your EMC representative.
