You must follow the power sequence in the order shown. To establish
power redundancy for trays with two power supplies, use a separate
power source for each power-fan canister. For additional redundancy,
you may connect each DC power connector on the same power-fan
canister to a different power source.
IMPORTANT
You must turn on the power to all connected drive trays
before you turn on the power to the CE4900 controller-drive tray.
Performing this action makes sure that the controllers recognize each
attached drive tray.
Disconnect the two-pole 20-amp circuit breaker for the storage array.
Make sure that all of the DC power switches on the DC-powered
controller-drive tray and drive trays are turned off.
Connect the DC power connector cables to the DC power connectors
on the rear of the controller-drive tray and drive trays.
Have a qualifi ed service person connect the other end of the DC
Power connector cables to the DC power plant equipment.
Turn on the Power switch on each power-fan canister in all of the newly
installed drive trays.
Turn on the Power switch on each power-fan canister in the controller-
drive tray.
NOTE
When turning off the power to the storage array, perform the
procedure in the reverse order. Turn off the power fi rst to the controller-
drive tray, and then turn off the power to the drive trays.

WARNING (W16)
Risk of bodily injury –
Each tray
has more than one power cord. To remove all electrical
current from the devices, make sure that all of the
power cords are disconnected from the power source
and that the two-pole 20-amp circuit breaker for the
storage array has been disconnected.

Turn on the DC power
IMPORTANT
: DC power is an option that is available for use with
your CE4900 controller-drive tray and FC4600 drive tray. If you
choose to have –48 VDC power available, you need a qualifi ed
service person to install the equipment that provides special DC
power connectors to each power-fan canister in your storage array.
WARNING (W12) Risk of electrical shock –
This unit has more than
one power source. To remove all power from the unit, all DC MAINS
must be disconnected by removing all power connectors (see item 4
below) from the power supplies.
WARNING (W14) Risk of bodily injury –
A qualifi ed service person
is required to make the DC power connection according to NEC and
CEC guidelines.

You must follow the power sequence in the order shown. To establish
power redundancy for trays with two power supplies, use at least two
different power distribution units (PDUs) in the cabinet. Split the power
connections from each tray into the separate PDUs. Then connect the
PDUs to external power receptacles that are on different circuits.
IMPORTANT
You must turn on the power to all connected drive trays
before you turn on the power to either the CE7900 controller tray or the
CE4900 controller-drive tray. Performing this action makes sure that
the controllers recognize each attached drive tray.
Turn off all of the Power switches from the rear of the storage array,
and make sure that all of the power cords are connected.
If the main AC circuit breaker switches in the cabinet are not already
turned on, turn on the circuit breaker switches.
Turn on the Power switch on each power-fan canister in all of the
newly installed drive trays.
Turn on the Power switch on each power-fan canister in the
CE4900 controller-drive tray or CE7900 controller tray.
NOTE
When turning off the power to the storage array, perform the
procedure in the reverse order. Turn off the power fi rst to the CE4900
controller-drive tray or CE7900 controller tray, and then turn off the
power to the drive trays.

Determine the
management method
Both management methods are specifi c to the installation steps in
Section 10. This section and those that follow concern confi guration of
the entire storage array.
•
In-band management
– Managing a storage array by using a
storage management station to send commands through the host
input/output (I/O) connection to the controller.
•
Out-of-band management
– Managing a storage array by using
a storage management station to send commands through the
Ethernet connections on each controller.
For more information, refer to the “Deciding on the Management
Method” step in the
Initial Confi guration and Software Installation
Guide for SANtricity™ ES Storage Manager
.
For Out-of-band management, use one of the methods below to
confi gure the controllers for network connectivity:
Without a DHCP server
Connect separate Ethernet cables to each controller.
Manually confi gure the network settings on the controllers, using
the guidelines and procedures from the “Manually Confi guring the
Controllers” step in the
Initial Confi guration and Software Installation
Guide for SANtricity ES Storage Manager
.
With a DHCP server
Connect separate Ethernet cables to each controller.
Assign static IP addresses to the controllers.
NOTE
This method applies only to IPv4 networks.
Stateless Address Autoconfi guration
Connect separate Ethernet cables to each controller.
NOTE
This method applies only to IPv6 networks and does not require
either a DHCP server or a router.
In the AMW, select the
Setup
tab, and select the
Rename
Storage Array
link to name the storage array. You can use up
to 30 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), pound signs (#), and
underscores (_).
Also on the
Setup
tab, click the
Locate Storage Array
link to fi nd
the storage array in the cabinet. A white LED blinks on the front of the
selected storage array. Physically label the storage array with its name.
Click the
Storage & Copy Services
tab to see the storage array’s
confi guration.
If the storage array is not in the Optimal state, click the
Needs
Attention
link. Follow the steps in the Recovery Guru.
Select the
Summary
tab, and select
Storage Array Profi le
.
By clicking the tabs, fi nd the controller fi rmware, NVSRAM, ESM
fi rmware, drive product ID, and fi rmware version, and record them.
Close the storage array profi le.

Before performing this step, make sure that you have correctly
confi gured the storage array IP addresses as described in the
Initial
Confi guration and Software Installation Guide for SANtricity ES
Storage Manager
.
Start the SANtricity ES Storage Manager software from your
management station either by typing
SMclient
and pressing
Enter
(UNIX OSs), or by navigating to the directory that contains
the
SMclient.exe
fi le, typing
SMclient
and pressing
Enter
(Windows OSs). The client software starts and shows the Enterprise
Management Window (EMW).
Select
Tools >> Automatic Discovery
from the EMW to discover the
storage array.
In the confi guration dialog, click
OK
to start the automatic discovery.
Click the
Devices
tab of the EMW to see the storage arrays.
Double-click the storage array that you want to manage. The
associated Array Management Window (AMW) is launched.
NOTE
To add a storage array from outside the local subnetwork, use
the manual discovery method. From the EMW, click the
Add Storage
Arrays
link, and follow the instructions.
Two types of computers are associated with the storage array.
•
Hosts
send I/O to the storage array.
•
Management stations
manage the storage array.
The type of operating system that the management station runs is the
directory that you need to locate on the DVD.
At this time, check your current Fibre Channel host bus adapters’
(HBAs’) BIOS, and device driver versions, and, if necessary, update
them before proceeding. For HBAs, obtain the BIOS and device
drivers directly from the vendor.
For Microsoft Windows installations,
•
Install the StorPort device driver.
• Install the MPIO multi-path driver on the host.
On the SANtricity ES Storage Manager Installation DVD, locate the
appropriate operating system (OS) directory.
•
Review the appropriate operating system and device driver
readme
fi les included on the SANtricity ES Storage Manager
Installation DVD for additional information.
Launch the SMIA executable fi le. Follow the instructions in the wizard,
and select one of these installation methods:
•
For the Management Station designated as a monitor (for
monitoring and sending alert notifi cations), select
Management
Station (full installation)
, and, when prompted, click
Automatically Start Monitor
.
•
For the Management Station that you will use to manage
the storage array, select
Management Station
, and, when
prompted, select
Do Not Automatically Start the Monitor.
•
For all I/O hosts attached to the storage array, select
Host
.
