Before you begin
Read this information before beginning your installation.
Before you begin your installation, print and complete a Configuration worksheet for your storage system
to gather the information that the software setup process requires. The configuration worksheet is
provided in the
Data ONTAP Software Setup Guide
for your version of Data ONTAP, which is available on
the IBM
®
System Storage
®
N series support website:
www.ibm.com/storage/support/nseries
If you are configuring a storage system as part of a high-availability (or active/active) configuration,
some information types must be unique for each storage system mode in the configuration, and some
information types must be identical on both storage system nodes. If you have a high-availability (or
active/active) configuration, IBM recommends that you print and complete two copies of the
configuration worksheet, one for each system node.
Note:
In the Data ONTAP 7.2 and 7.3 release families, the term
active/active configuration
(or
active/active
pair
) refers to a pair of storage systems or gateways (sometimes called nodes or controller modules)
configured to serve data for each other if one of the two systems stops functioning. In the Data ONTAP
8.
x
release family, this functionality is referred to as a
high-availability (HA) configuration
or an
HA pair
.
