Completing the Installation
This procedure explains how to turn on the power and check the
unit. It also provides a brief overview of configuration tasks you may
need to perform.
Start-up Notes
The command module has light emitting diodes (LEDs) that
indicate the status of both the overall command module and the
individual components within the unit. It is important that you
check all the LEDs on the command module (front and back) when
you turn on the power to make sure there are no problems.
Configuration Notes
Once you have finished installing the command module hardware,
you will need to make sure that the physical drives are ready to store
data. Before you attempt to store data on your system, you should
use SYMplicity
TM
Storage Manager to determine the current status
and factory settings of your system. Some default software
parameters (such as RAID level, drive groups, and caching) are set at
the factory prior to shipment.
Once you determine the initial factory settings for your system, you
might need to configure or re-define the overall organization of the
physical and logical space on the drives. Whether you configure the
system depends on several factors, such as:
●
How many drive units (shelves, trays, etc.) and drives are
connected to the command module
●
How and where the command module is connected to the SCSI
bus
●
What type of operating system and disk array management
software (e.g. SYMplicity Storage Manager) you are using
●
Whether you want to use the factory default configuration
settings (number of logical units, RAID level, hot spare drives,
etc.)
