How to Add a Sun StorEdge T3 Disk Array

Use this procedure to add a new Sun StorEdge T3 disk array to a running cluster. This procedure provides flexibility so you can either add a Sun StorEdge T3 disk array, a Sun StorEdge FC-100 hub and host adapters, or add a Sun StorEdge T3 disk array to an existing Sun StorEdge FC-100 hub and host adapters.

This procedure defines Node A as the node you want to begin working with, and Node B as the remaining node.

  1. Set up a Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) server on the network you want the new Sun StorEdge T3 disk array to reside on, and then assign an IP address to the new Sun StorEdge T3 disk array.

    This RARP server enables you to assign an IP address to the new Sun StorEdge T3 disk array using the Sun StorEdge T3 disk array's unique MAC address.

    For the procedure on setting up a RARP server, see the Sun StorEdge T3 Installation, Operation, and Service Manual.

  2. Install the media interface adapter (MIA) in the Sun StorEdge T3 disk array you want to add as shown in Figure B-2.

    For the procedure on installing a media interface adapter (MIA), see the Sun StorEdge T3 Configuration Guide.

  3. If necessary, install a gigabit interface converter (GBIC) in the Sun StorEdge FC-100 hub as shown in Figure B-2.

    This GBIC allows you to connect the Sun StorEdge FC-100 hub to the Sun StorEdge T3 disk array you want to add.


    Note -

    There are no hub port assignment restrictions. You can connect your Sun StorEdge T3 disk array and node to any hub port.


    For the procedure on installing an FC-100 hub GBIC, see the FC-100 Hub Installation and Service Manual.

  4. Install the 10Base-T Ethernet cable between the Sun StorEdge T3 disk array and the Local Area Network (LAN) as shown in Figure B-2.

  5. Power on the Sun StorEdge T3 disk array.


    Note -

    The Sun StorEdge T3 disk array might take a few minutes to boot.


    For the procedure on powering on a Sun StorEdge T3 disk array, see the Sun StorEdge T3 Installation, Operation, and Service Manual.

  6. Telnet to the Sun StorEdge T3 disk array you want to add, and, if necessary, install the required Sun StorEdge T3 disk array controller firmware.

    Revision 1.16a firmware is required for the Sun StorEdge T3 disk array controller. For the procedure on upgrading firmware, see the firmware patch README.

  7. Does this new Sun StorEdge T3 disk array have a unique target address?

    • If yes, proceed to Step 8.

    • If no, change the target address for this new Sun StorEdge T3 disk array.

    For the procedure on verifying and assigning a target address, see the Sun StorEdge T3 Configuration Guide.

  8. Install a fiber optic cable between the Sun StorEdge FC-100 hub and the Sun StorEdge T3 disk array as shown in Figure B-2.


    Note -

    There are no hub port assignment restrictions. You can connect your Sun StorEdge T3 disk array and node to any hub port.


    For the procedure on installing a fiber optic cable, see the Sun StorEdge T3 Configuration Guide.
