Assign an IP address to the
master
controller unit only. The master controller unit is
the storage array that has the interconnect cables attached to the second port of
each interconnect card.
For the procedure about how to set up an IP address, gateway, netmask, and
hostname on a storage array, see the
Sun StorEdge 6020 and 6120 Array System
Manual
.
3. Ensure that each storage array has a unique target address.
For the procedure about how to assign a target address to a storage array, see the
Sun StorEdge 6020 and 6120 Array System Manual
.
4. Ensure that the
cache
and
mirror
settings for each storage array are set to
auto
.
For more information, see the
Sun StorEdge 6020 and 6120 Array System Manual

5. Ensure that the
mp_support
parameter for each storage array is set to
mpxio
.
For more information, see the
Sun StorEdge 6020 and 6120 Array System Manual
.
6. Install any required controller firmware for the storage arrays you are adding.
Access the
master
controller unit and administer the storage arrays. The master
controller unit is the storage array that has the interconnect cables attached to the
second port of each interconnect card, when viewed from the rear of the storage
arrays.
For the required controller firmware for the storage array, see the
