Страница: 25 / 188

Chapter 1. Before you begin the installation
Before you can begin installing your system, you must unpack and verify your
order and make other preparations.
The Quick Installation Guide contains a set of instructions to help you unpack and
install your system. The guide is divided into three chapters.
1. The steps in Chapter 1, “Before you begin the installation” (the chapter you are
now reading) involve verifying your order, becoming familiar with the
hardware component terminology, and ensuring that you have met the
environmental requirements.
2.
The steps in Chapter 2, “Installing the Storwize V7000 Gen2 and Storwize
V7000 Gen2+ hardware,” on page 13 involve installing the hardware and
attaching the data cables and power cords.
3. Chapter 3, “Configuring the system,” on page 143 helps you create your
configuration file and access the management GUI. The management GUI
guides you through the initial configuration process.
Important information:
v This guide presumes that you have read the planning information regarding
your physical environment that is available from the IBM Knowledge Center for
Storwize V7000.
v
Ensure that any cables that you are supplying are available for installation.
Installation scenarios
Depending on your order, this documentation steps you through setting up your
system for the following scenarios:
v Setting up a new system that consists of a control enclosure only. In this case,
you are not installing any expansion enclosures.
v Setting up a new system that consists of a control enclosure and one or more
expansion enclosures.
v Adding an expansion enclosure to an existing system. In this case, you initially
installed a control enclosure (and, optionally, one or more expansion enclosures).
You want to add an expansion enclosure to your existing system. You do not
need to power off the system. You can add an expansion enclosure while the
system is operational.
v Adding a control enclosure (either by itself or with one or more expansion
enclosures) to an existing system.
You do not need to power off the system. You
can add a control enclosure while the system is operational.
v Setting up a new system that consists of more than one control enclosure.
Install the first control enclosure and then the required expansion enclosures. For
each additional control enclosure, complete the setup as if you were adding it to
an existing system.
Table 5 on page 2 lists the steps for each scenario.
