How to Perform Initial Configuration Tasks on the Storage Array

Steps

1. Power on the storage array.

2. Set up and configure the storage array.

   For the procedures on configuring the storage array, see the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual.

3. If necessary, upgrade the storage array's controller firmware.

   Sun Cluster software requires patch version 113723-03 or later for each Sun StorEdge 3510 array in the cluster.

   See the Sun Cluster release notes documentation for information about accessing Sun's EarlyNotifier web pages. The EarlyNotifier web pages list information about any required patches or firmware levels that are available for download. For the procedure on applying any host adapter's firmware patch, see the firmware patch README file.

4. Configure the new storage array. Map the LUNs to the host channels.

   For the procedures on setting up logical drives and LUNs, see the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual or Sun StorEdge 3000 Family RAID Firmware 3.27 User's Guide.
