Chapter 3. Configuring the system
This document helps you set up your system for the first time.
About this task
In the previous steps, you installed the enclosures in the rack, connected all cables,
powered the system on, and checked the LED status for the system. When you
have completed all these steps, continue with the last step to configure the system.
The last step for configuring your system provides instructions for several
scenarios:
v
Setting up your system for the first time.
v
Adding one or more expansion enclosures to an existing system.
v
Adding another control enclosure to an existing system.
v
Using IBM Flex System Manager to upgrade SAN Volume Controller.
Setting up your system for the first time with a control enclosure or a
control enclosure and one or more expansion enclosures
When a new control enclosure is installed in the Flex System chassis for the first
time you must create and configure a clustered system. This procedure is used to
guide you through the necessary steps.
Before you begin
v
You must use a supported web browser. Verify that you are using a supported
web browser from the following website: www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/
overview/hardware/puresystems/pureflex_system/storage_node/
flex_system_v7000
v Decide whether you are going to use an DHCP server to assign the node service
IP address or you will assign static IP addresses.
If using an DHCP server make sure your IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Nodes
have access to the DHCP server and there are at least two DHCP addresses
available on your subnet. These are the addresses that will be used in the initial
installation.
If assigning static service IP addresses, make sure that you know the
management IP address that you want to assign to the system. This is the
address that will be used to access the system for management after installation
is complete.
v If you are using the Chassis Management Module (CMM) to setup your system,
ensure that the chassis is being managed by the CMM.
v
If you are using the CMM to setup your system, verify that you are using a
supported CMM for IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Nodes from the following
website: www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/overview/hardware/
puresystems/pureflex_system/storage_node/flex_system_v7000
v
If you are using the Flex System Manager (FSM) to setup your system, you must
have an installed and pre-configured FSM. Verify that you are using a supported
FSM for IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Nodes from the following website:
