Preparing for installation
Use the following list to prepare a controller unit for installation.
1 Prepare the site to meet all area, environmental, power, and site requirements. For more
information, see "Operating specifications" on page 5 and "Preparing the site" on page
10 .
2 Move the controller unit and its rack cabinet to the site.
3 Remove the controller unit from its shipping container and check the contents (see the
list of items on page 2 ). If any items are missing, contact your IBM reseller before
proceeding.
4 Assemble the tools and equipment you will need for installation. These might include:
• Power cords (comes with the enclosure)
• Screwdrivers and wrenches (various sizes)
• Antistatic protection (such as a grounding wrist strap)
• Fibre Channel (FC) and Ethernet interface cables and cable straps
• Rack-mounting hardware (comes with the controller unit)
• Storage-management software to configure the storage subsystems (comes on an
Installation CD with the controller unit)
5 Install additional hardware, based on the method of storage subsystem management.
You can manage the storage subsystems using the host-agent method, as shown in
Figure 4 on page 7 or the direct manage method, as shown in Figure 5 on page 7 .
If you are using the: Then:
Host-agent method (uses host-agent
software installed on the host machine) Install at least one management station and a software-agent
host. When you finish, continue with
Step 6 on page 8
.
Direct manage method (uses Ethernet
connections from a management station
to each controller) Install at least one management station and attach Ethernet
cables to each management station – one pair per controller
unit. You will connect the cables to each controller later when
you install the controller unit. When you finish, continue with
Step 6 on page 8
