Installing the Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway System |
This chapter provides comprehensive instructions for connecting a Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway System or Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway Cluster System to SAN storage. It also provides initial configuration instructions for the system.
|
Note - If you are installing a different system, refer to the appropriate chapter. |
The Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway System Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway Cluster Systemcan be directly attached or attached through fabric switches to a Sun StorEdge 6130 array, a Sun StorEdge 6920 system, or a Sun StorEdge 9970/9980/9985/9990 system (shortened to "Sun StorEdge 99xx system") in this chapter).
|
Note - Refer to the Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway System web page for the most current SAN storage information. |
This chapter contains the following sections:
|
Note - The Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway System and Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway Cluster System ship with the operating system installed. |
Before connecting the system, do the following:
You will configure storage after the Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway System is installed and set up.
To set up the Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway System, you perform the following tasks:
Refer to the instructions for your SAN storage:
Refer to Connecting to the Network.
Refer to Powering On the Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway System.
4. Configure the system by doing the following:
b. Configure the basic system.
e. Configure Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway System storage.
f. For cluster configuration only, configure failover.
For the single-server configuration, refer to Initial Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway System Single-Server Configuration.
For the cluster configuration, refer to Initial Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway Cluster System Configuration.
Each Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway System server contains two dual port HBA cards. Using pairs of optical fiber cables, you can connect to storage directly or by using Fibre Channel switches.
When the Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway System is connected directly to storage without using a Fibre Channel switch, it is referred to as a "direct attach." Storage is configured using LUN masking.
Most Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway Systems are connected to SAN storage using a Fibre Channel switch, which is referred to as a "fabric attach." Because a switch can be a single point of failure, multiple switches can be used. Multiple switches can be configured with LUN masking to allocate storage to specific servers.
To ensure redundancy, you should connect to SAN storage port pairs.
This section describes how to cable the Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway System directly or through fabric switches to the Sun StorEdge 6130 array:
After connecting the systems, proceed to Connecting to the Network.
