How to Install a Single-Controller Configuration in
a New Cluster
Use this procedure to install a storage array in a single-controller configuration
before
you install the Solaris operating environment and Sun Cluster software on your nodes.
The following procedures contain instructions for other array-installation situations:

1. Install the host adapters in the nodes that are to be connected to the storage
array.
For the procedure about how to install host adapters, see the documentation that
shipped with your host adapters and nodes.
2. Install the Fibre Channel (FC) switches.
For the procedure about how to install FC switches, see the documentation that
shipped with your FC switch hardware.
3. Set up a Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) server on the network on
which the new storage array is to reside.
Use the RARP server to set up the following network settings.
■
IP address
■
gateway (if necessary)
■
netmask (if necessary)
■
hostname
For the procedure about how to set up a RARP server, see the
Sun StorEdge 6120
Array Installation Guide
.
4. Cable the storage arrays.
For the procedures on how to connect your storage array, see the
Sun StorEdge 6120
Array Installation Guide
.
a. Connect the storage arrays to the FC switches by using fiber-optic cables.
b. Connect the Ethernet cables from each storage array to the Local Area
Network (LAN).
c. If necessary, install the interconnect cables between storage arrays.
d. Connect the power cords to each storage array.
5. Power on the storage array.
Verify that all components are powered on and functional.
