IBM System Storage N7000, Installation And Setup Instructions

Setup overview for the N7700/N7900 gateway

Prepare for connectivity between gateways
and storage subsystems, including the
following tasks:

Creating LUNs on the storage subsystem
Setting LUN security, as appropriate
Exporting (mapping) the LUNs to the
targeted ports for the gateways

Installing the gateway in a rack

Connecting your gateway to a storage
subsystem

Connecting your gateway to create a cluster
failover pair

Connecting your gateway to a network,
ASCII terminal, and any third-party tape
backup devices, and then powering on and
booting in regular mode

Performing basic setup and configuration of
the gateway software, including:

Specifying the LUNs on the storage
subsystem that the gateway can access
Providing system information for the
gateway, such as IP address and media
type
Installing an NFS or a CFS license
Installing the Data ONTAP   software

Configuring Data ONTAP features that you
