About this book

This book describes the installation and initial configuration processes specific to the Sun StorageTek VTL Value appliance. In VTL Value deployments, it supersedes the Sun Fire™ X4500 Server Installation Guide (819-4358-11) that ships with the X4500 platform. While the VTL Value appliance hardware is almost identical to the X4500, it has been specially preconfigured to host Virtual Tape Library software on the Solaris operating system.

Using this book

This book leads you through the process of setting up the VTL Value equipment from beginning to end, with all the needed information immediately to hand and the alternatives clearly indicated. Each chapter and section begins with a list of the tasks it contains. Tasks are presented in order, and the steps in each process are numbered, in the sequence in which they are to be performed. Conditional steps (steps that you perform only in specified circumstances) begin with the condition (“If A ...”) and end with the corresponding action (“... do B”); if the condition does not apply, you simply skip the step. Each task ends with a reference to the next task in the sequence:

Next task: “Installing slide-rail assemblies” on page 3.

When the setup process branches, the tasks ends with conditional alternatives:

Next task:

If the customer does not plan to run the management console from a host on the local area network (LAN), press Skip, and go to the next task.

Otherwise, carry out the procedure “Configuring the Ethernet management interface” on page 57.

To minimize the time you spend switching between publications or major sections of the document, we have made an effort to avoid cross references to external information wherever possible. If you need to have a figure, a table, or a procedure, it should always be, at worst, on a neighboring page.
