Use this procedure to install a storage system in an initial cluster. To add a storage system to an existing cluster, use the procedure in How to Add a Storage System to an Existing Cluster.
This procedure relies on the following assumptions:
You have not installed the Solaris Operating System.
You have not installed the Oracle Solaris Cluster software.
Your cluster has not been established.
You have enough host adapters to connect the nodes and the storage system to the service processor panel.
If you need to install host adapters, see How to Replace a Host Adapter. When this procedure asks you to replace the failed host adapter, simply install the new host adapter instead.
For instructions, see your storage system installation documentation. For a list of this documentation, see Related Documentation.
For the procedure about how to install an FC switch, see the documentation that shipped with your FC switch hardware.
For the procedure about how to cable the storage system, see your storage system installation documentation.
For instructions, see your storage system installation documentation.
For instructions about how to power on the storage system, see your storage system installation documentation.
For more information, see your storage system installation documentation.
For the procedure about how to install the Oracle Solaris operating environment, see How to Install Solaris Software in Oracle Solaris Cluster Software Installation Guide.

Use this procedure to add a new storage system to a running cluster. To install a new storage system in a Oracle Solaris Cluster configuration that is not running, use the procedure in How to Install Storage Systems in a New Cluster
Before You Begin
This procedure relies on the following assumptions:
You have enough host adapters to connect the nodes and the storage system to the service processor panel.
If you need to install host adapters, see How to Replace a Host Adapter. When this procedure asks you to replace the failed host adapter, simply install the new host adapter instead.
You do not need to install a new node in your cluster.
If you need to add a node to your cluster, see your Oracle Solaris Cluster system administration documentation. Ensure that you install the required Oracle Solaris patches for storage system support.
For instructions, see your storage system installation documentation. For a list of this documentation, see Related Documentation.
