How to Install a Sun StorEdge T3 Disk Array

Use this procedure to install and configure a new Sun StorEdge T3 disk array in a cluster that is not running. Perform the steps in this procedure in conjunction with the procedures in the Sun Cluster 3.0 Installation Guide and your server hardware manual.

  1. Install the host adapters in the nodes that will be connected to the Sun StorEdge T3 disk arrays.

    For the procedure on installing host adapters, see the documentation that shipped with your host adapters and nodes.

  2. Install the Sun StorEdge FC-100 hubs.

    For the procedure on installing a Sun StorEdge FC-100 hub, see the FC-100 Hub Installation and Service Manual.

  3. Set up a Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) server on the network you want the new Sun StorEdge T3 disk array to reside on.

    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.

  4. Cable and power on the Sun StorEdge T3 disk arrays as shown in Figure B-1.

    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 fiber optic cables, see the Sun StorEdge T3 Configuration Guide. For the procedure on powering on the Sun StorEdge T3 disk array, see the Sun StorEdge T3 Installation, Operation, and Service Manual.

  5. (Optional) Configure the Sun StorEdge T3 disk array with the desired Sun StorEdge T3 disk tray logical volumes.

    For the procedure on configuring the Sun StorEdge T3 disk array with Sun StorEdge T3 disk tray logical volumes, see the Sun StorEdge T3 Disk Tray Administrator's Guide.

  6. Telnet to the Sun StorEdge T3 disk array you want to add, and 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. Ensure that this new Sun StorEdge T3 disk array has a unique target address.

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

  8. Reset the Sun StorEdge T3 disk array.

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

  9. Install the Solaris operating environment, and apply the required Solaris patches for Sun Cluster software and Sun StorEdge T3 disk array support.

    For the procedure on installing the Solaris operating environment, see the Sun Cluster 3.0 Installation Guide. For the location of required Solaris patches and installation instructions for Sun Cluster software support, see the Sun Cluster 3.0 Release Notes. For a list of required Solaris patches for Sun StorEdge T3 disk array support, see the Sun StorEdge T3 Disk Tray Release Notes.
