Before You Begin

This chapter contains important information you need to be aware of before you use Sun StorEdge Configuration Service. Topics covered in this chapter include:


Installing the Software

For installation instructions, refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Software Installation Guide.


Example Screens

Many example screens are provided throughout this guide to demonstrate the program. These screens might identify either the Sun StorEdge 3310 SCSI array, Sun StorEdge 3320 SCSI array, Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array, or Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array in the output. Unless specifically noted that a function, and therefore its example screen, is for a specific array only, all arrays apply.


Superuser Privileges

You must be superuser (administrator) to run the Sun StorEdge Configuration Service console.


Sun StorEdge 3120 SCSI Array

The only Sun StorEdge Configuration Service array functions supported for the Sun StorEdge 3120 SCSI array are viewing component and alarm characteristics and determining drive failure. See Monitoring JBODs for procedures related to the Sun StorEdge 3120 SCSI array.


Sun StorEdge 3000 Family JBODs

The only Sun StorEdge Configuration Service array functions supported for Sun StorEdge 3000 family JBODs are viewing component and alarm characteristics and determining drive failure. See Monitoring JBODs for procedures related to Sun StorEdge 3000 family JBODs.



Note - JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) is an array connected directly to a server with no controllers.
