6.Install signal converters in the StorageWorks enclosures, if applicable (see Chapter 3 and Chapter 9).

7.Connect storage to the shared SCSI buses. Terminate each bus. Use Y cables or trilink connectors where necessary (see Chapter 3 and Chapter 9).

For a Fibre Channel configuration, connect the HSG80 controllers to the switches. You want the HSG80 to recognize the connections to the systems when the systems are powered on.

8.Prepare the member systems by installing:

•Additional Ethernet or Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network adapters for client networks (see Chapter 7).

•SCSI bus adapters. Ensure that adapter terminators are set correctly. Connect the systems to the shared SCSI bus (see Chapter 4 or Chapter 10).

•The KGPSA host bus adapter for Fibre Channel configurations. Ensure that the KGPSA is operating in the correct mode (FABRIC or LOOP). Connect the KGPSA to the switch (see Chapter 6).

•Memory Channel adapters. Ensure that jumpers are set correctly (see Chapter 5).

9.Connect the Memory Channel adapters to each other or to the Memory Channel hub as appropriate (see Chapter 5).

10.Turn on the Memory Channel hubs and storage shelves, then turn on the member systems.

11.Install the firmware, set SCSI IDs, and enable fast bus speed as necessary (see Chapter 4 and Chapter 10).

12.Display configuration information for each member system, and ensure that all shared disks are seen at the same device number (see Chapter 4, Chapter 6, or Chapter 10).
