located near the management and iSCSI ports on each RAID controller, as
shown in Figure 127 on page 224. You may not be able to easily access this
information after you install the DS5100 and DS5300.
6. Install and secure the DS5100 and DS5300 chassis in the rack cabinet. See
“Installing the DS5100 and DS5300 on the support rails” on page 43.
7. Install in the rack cabinet the storage expansion enclosure or enclosures you
will cable to the DS5100 and DS5300. Follow the instructions in the
Installation, User’s, and Maintenance Guide for your storage expansion
enclosure to set up and mount the storage expansion enclosures.
Attention
Before you power on the DS5100 and DS5300, the storage subsystem
must be cabled to at least one storage expansion enclosure populated
with the minimum number of drives for the storage expansion enclosure.
Otherwise, the DS5100 and DS5300 controllers do not successfully
complete the power-on process and operate optimally.
All drives in the connected storage expansion enclosure or enclosures
must contain no prior configuration data. Additionally, if at least two drives
are not installed in each EXP5000 attached storage expansion enclosure,
or at least four drives in each EXP5060 storage expansion enclosure, the
resulting insufficient load to the storage expansion enclosure power
supplies might cause the drive expansion enclosure power supplies to
intermittently appear as failed and then reappear in an optimal state,
falsely indicating that the power supplies are bad.
8. Use SFP modules and fibre channel cables to cable the DS5100 and DS5300
to the storage expansion enclosure or enclosures. See “Connecting storage
expansion enclosures to the DS5100 and DS5300” on page 60.
9. Perform one of the following cabling tasks to enable management of the
DS5100 and DS5300 configuration:
v
If you are using out-of-band management, cable the DS5100 and DS5300
Ethernet ports to either the management workstation or the host. See
“Connecting secondary interface cables” on page 111.
v
If you are using in-band management, cable the DS5100 and DS5300 host
channels to the fibre channel host bus adapters (HBAs) in either the hosts
or the fibre channel switch that connects to the host HBAs. See either
“Connecting hosts directly to the DS5100 and DS5300 Fibre Channel host
ports” on page 108, or “Connecting hosts to the DS5100 and DS5300 iSCSI
ports” on page 110.
10. Connect the power cables for the DS5100 and DS5300. See “Connecting the
power cables” on page 122.
11. Power on the attached storage expansion enclosures and the DS5100 and
DS5300 using the procedure described in “Turning on the storage subsystem”
on page 131.
12. Install the DS Storage Manager host software on the management workstation
(for out-of-band management) or on the host (for in-band management). Refer
to the
IBM System Storage DS Storage Manager Installation and Host Support
Guide
for the appropriate operating system for instructions on how to install the
DS Storage Manager host software.
13. Use the DS Storage Manager host software to verify the configuration.
