Installing the Arrays
Instructions for installing the arrays are located in the Sun StorEdge T3 Array Cabinet
Installation Guide that you have already downloaded.
The arrays in the Sun StorEdge N8600 filer are configured in partner groups. Each
array partner group consists of a master controller unit (MCU) array and an alternate
MCU array. The arrays are mounted one above the other in the cabinet. Both arrays
are physically and electrically identical, however, the cabling configuration makes
one of them the MCU and the other the alternate MCU. By convention, the lower of
the two is called the MCU and the cabling diagrams in this procedure will make it
so. You can install either one on top, but the cabling procedures will make the
bottom one the MCU.
Note –
There is no need to power off the filer in order to install additional partner
groups.
Perform this procedure for each partner group that you are adding to the Sun
StorEdge N8600 Filer.
