Sun Cluster 3.0-3.1 With Sun StorEdge 6320 System Manual for Solaris OS

ProcedureHow to Perform Initial Configuration Tasks on the Storage Array

Steps

  1. (StorEdge 6320SL storage system ONLY) Install the Fibre Channel (FC) switch for the storage system if you do not have a switch installed.

    Note –

    In a StorEdge 6320SL storage system, the customer provides the switch.

    For the procedure about how to install an FC switch, see the documentation that shipped with your FC switch hardware.

  2. Configure the service processor.

    For more information, see the Sun StorEdge 6320 System Installation Guide.

  3. Create a volume.

    For the procedure about how to create a volume, see the Sun StorEdge 6320 System Reference and Service Manual.

  4. (Optional) Specify initiator groups for the volume.

    For the procedure about how to specify initiator groups, see the Sun StorEdge 6320 System Reference and Service Manual.

  5. Unpack, place, and level the storage system.

    For instructions, see the Sun StorEdge 6320 System Installation Guide.

  6. Install the system power cord and the system grounding strap.

    For instructions, see the Sun StorEdge 6320 System Installation Guide.

  7. (StorEdge 6320SL storage system ONLY) Connect the storage arrays to the FC switches by using fiber-optic cables.

    Caution – Caution –

    Do not connect the switch's Ethernet port to the storage system's private LAN.

    For the procedure about how to cable the storage system, see the Sun StorEdge 6320 System Installation Guide.

  8. Power on the new storage system.

    Note –

    The storage arrays in your system might require several minutes to boot.

    For the procedure about how to power on the storage system, see the Sun StorEdge 6320 System Installation Guide.

  9. If necessary, reconfigure the storage system's FC switches to ensure that all nodes can access each storage array.

    The following configurations might prevent some nodes from accessing each storage array in the cluster:

    • Zone configuration

    • Multiple clusters that use the same switch

    • Unconfigured ports or misconfigured ports
