3.0 Installation Instructions

If you are familiar with the Diamond-VT, Fibre Channel, SCSI and RAID configurations, you may set up and configure the Diamond-VT using these instructions. Find details, illustrations and other guidance for more involved operations and special cases in the rest of this manual.

CAUTION

Before configuring the Diamond-VT, ensure that any computer data to be stored on the array is properly backed up and verified. The operation and storage of computer data on any disk storage array should be accompanied by a regular program of computer data backups and verification for the data stored on such an array.

The Manufacturer is not responsible for the loss of any data stored on the Diamond-VT under any circumstances and any special, incidental, or consequential damages that may result thereof.

Three major steps are required to set up the Diamond-VT

1Physically set up Diamond-VT

2Connect to Ethernet

3Configure Virtual Tape

Step 1: physical setup

1Make sure the Diamond-VT is mounted properly and has adequate air flow around it.

2Insert the appropriate connector into the interface card in the back of the Diamond-VT.

3Connect the Fibre Channel or SCSI cable from your host computer system to the connector. To use ExpressNAV browser-based management interface and configure your Diamond-VT, you must connect to the Ethernet port.

4To set up the Ethernet connection: connect a cross-over cable (for a direct connection to a PC) or regular network cable from a network device to the RJ45 Ethernet port on the Ethernet management card on the front of the Diamond-VT.

Step 2a: set up the Ethernet connection

The Diamond-VT supports service operations over the RS-232 serial port using standard

5

terminal emulation software available with most systems.

1Connect a DB-9 null modem serial cable between the port marked RS-232 on the front of the Diamond-VT and the computer’s serial port. The cable must be no longer than three meters.

2Make sure the power switches on the power supplies on the rear of the unit are in the Stand- by position.

3Plug in the power cords to the back of the unit, then into an appropriate power source (100-240 VAC).

4Reboot your host computer system.

5Press the Stand-by power switch for each power supply on the Diamond-VT to the ON position.

6Upon successful power up and diagnostics, the unit displays the POST (power up self test) information.

The Diamond is now in Command Line Interface mode. You may modify the setup of the Diamond- VT using the CLI (see CLI: Interface via ASCII-based Commands on page 27), but the easiest method to configure the array is by using ATTO ExpressNAV software, a graphical user management interface accessed through a standard Internet browser. See

on page 23.

Step 2b: connect to Ethernet

If the Diamond-VT is attached to a DHCP server

1At the Ready prompt after POST (see Step 6 above), type set IPDHCP enabled

2Type SaveConfiguration Restart

3At the Ready prompt after POST (see above), type get IPAddress

4Enter this address into your browser.

5The ATTO ExpressNAV screen appears. Log in using the Telnet defaults:
