2.2.2.2 Setting Parameters on the 3510s

The following procedures configure the 3510 hardware (minnows) after rack installation.

ProcedureTo Set an IP Address on 3510s

Steps
  1. Connect serial ports to laptop and launch hyperterminal or connect from a terminal on a Solaris system.

  2. When prompted with menu driven program, select vt100 mode.

  3. Navigate to “View and Edit configuration parameters”, then select Communication Parameters and Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

  4. Enter the IP address and netmask that you have assigned to the computer.

  5. Exit the serial connection and make sure you can now telnet from the management station. Once this is established all configuration will done through the command line interface

ProcedureTo Configure the 3510s

Steps
  1. Download the latest version of command line interface SUNWsccli package and install it on the management station.

  2. Run the following command to connect to the 3510 with an interactive prompt:


    # sccli amer-minnow-01
    sccli: selected se3000://172.31.0.141:58632 [SUN StorEdge 3510 SN#084DCD]
  3. Set Chassis ID on each controller and JBOD as shown in Figure 2–1 and verify you can see all disks by running show disks command.

  4. Verify the following parameters:

    Controller parameters 

    redundancy mode 

    active-active 

     

    redundancy status 

    enabled 

    Drive parameters 

    auto-global-spare 

    enabled 

    Host parameters 

    fiber connection mode 

    point-to-point (SAN) 

     

    controller name 

    amer-minnow-nn

    Cache policy 

    mode 

    write-back 

     

    optimization 

    sequential

  5. Gather the WWNs of the minnows and add them to zones accordingly:
