Symphony Installation Requirements Checklist
Symphony can be installed and deployed by meeting either the Violin Symphony VM or Violin
Symphony Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) requirements. The basic requirements for each of
these installation types are listed in Table 1.3. Under Symphony VM, Symphony runs as a virtual
appliance, while under Symphony RPM it runs as bundle running under its native OS (Linux):
•

and
Connecting Cables to the Fibre Channel Switches
•

and
Connecting Cables to the Fibre Channel Switches
Note:
The Symphony server needs IP network access to all of the Violin Systems devices (7700
FSP Controllers, 7000 Series FSP and 6000 Series shelves, and the FC switches) that are under
its management. Symphony itself is either assigned an IP address (static or DHCP) or a host name
during installation by the on-site network or storage administrator.
Note:
The Health gadget in Symphony provides an at-a-glance view of system health for devices
and device groups managed by Symphony. However, Symphony does not directly monitor the 7700
FSP Controllers in the 7700 FSP storage cluster.
To monitor the system status for its disks, power supplies, fans, and temperature of the 7700 FSP
Controllers, use iDRAC. iDRAC supports SNMP, IPMI, remote logging, and SMTP mail alerts. For
more details on setting up and using iDRAC, see
Monitoring 7700 FSP Controllers Using iDRAC
When installing the 7700 FSP storage cluster and Symphony, set up and use the iDRAC alerts to
avoid unreported issues with the 7700 FSP Controllers.
