Before You Begin |
Refer to the following documents to make sure physical dimensions, service clearances, and power connections are ready for the installation of your Sun StorageTek 2500 Series array.
This Sun StorageTek 2500 Series Array Hardware Installation Guide describes how to install rack-mounting rails and array trays in a cabinet. This document also provides information to physically set up and connect your array to a host. Afterwards, information is provided to apply power and to add network functionality, including storage management (multipath/failover), IP addressing, iSCSI, and DHCP.
The terminology used in this document refers to the Sun StorageTek 2500 Series arrays. There are three styles of controller trays, each with different host interface ports (iSCSI, SAS, or FC). There is also the drive expansion tray, which enables the Sun StorageTek 2500 Series arrays to have more disk drives attached. The components that slide into the trays are called CRUs or modules. The terms you might see in this document are: controller (or controller module), power-fan module, I/O module, and disk drive.
Array management, data host management, and remote command line interface (CLI) functions are performed by the Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager (CAM) software. For installation and initial configuration of the Sun StorageTek 2500 Series array, including firmware upgrades, initial array setup, partitioning domains, configuring storage, and configuring IP addressing, see the Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Software Installation Guide.
In addition, the Sun StorageTek 2500 Series Array includes the following online documentation:
