Read this chapter and use the reference information during rack-mounting and installing the 7700
Flash Storage Platform devices to complete the following tasks:
•
Appendix E, Installing and Accessing Violin
, provides a brief overview of a Symphony installation, provides reference
documentation that supports installing Symphony on a separate server that can access the
7700 FSP components, identifies it as the single point for configuring and managing your 7700
FSP storage cluster, and provides the procedure for accessing Symphony to get started.
Note:
For best results, Symphony requires that all 7000 Series FSP and 6000 Series storage
shelves, 7700 FSP Controllers, and Brocade 6510 switches be rack mounted, powered on, and
all network management cabling connected. Each shelf should have the configuration jump-
start process completed. For more details, see Chapter 4 Using the Configuration Wizard-Script
File for Setup in the latest version 7000 Series Flash Storage Platform Installation Guide.
•
Connecting Cables to the Fibre Channel Switches
on page 28: describes where you should
connect the fibre cabling on the two Brocade 6510 Fibre Channel switches, which act as the
connection point between the 7700 FSP storage shelves and the 7700 FSP Controllers.
Together, these connected components form the 7700 FSP storage cluster.
•
on page 29: describes where you connect the storage network
interface cables from a supported shelf to a storage area network (SAN) using Fibre Channel
cabling.
•
Connecting 7700 FSP Cluster Storage Devices
on page 33: describes where you connect the
northbound, southbound, and power cables between the 7700 Flash Storage Platform devices
(Fibre Channel switches, 7000 Series FSPs/6000 Series storage shelves, and 7700 FSP
Controllers) and the client network.
•
Powering on the 7700 FSP Devices
on page 42: describes where you power on the racked
and cabled 7700 Flash Storage Platform devices.
Caution:
To prevent potential power surge damage to your equipment when installing multiple
shelves in the 7700 Flash Storage Platform cluster, complete all rack mounting, and route all
network and power cables for every shelf
before
applying power to the first shelf. After you complete
the power on for the first shelf, wait several minutes before you power on the next shelf. Continue
until each deployed shelf in the 7700 FSP has been powered on to prevent potential circuit damage.
Connecting Cables to the 7700 FSP Controllers
This section provides an overview of the 7700 FSP Controllers that includes figures and tables that
describe the slots, ports, and connectors needed for connecting either the Fibre Channel or iSCSI
version 7700 FSP Controllers.
•
Figure 2.1 shows the Fibre Channel slot, port, and connector locations on the 7700 Controller
rear panel and Table 2.2 provides descriptions for each location (for details, see
•
Figure 2.2 shows the iSCSI slot, port, and connector locations on the 7700 Controller rear
panel and Table 2.3 provides descriptions for each location (for details, see
