This guide is intended for anyone who configures and operates a new Dell
PowerVault 720N, 740N, or 760N filer that runs Data ONTAP 5.3 software.
It can be used by system administrators who are familiar with operating systems that
run on the filers clients, such as UNIX, Windows 9x, and Windows NT and with how
the Network File System (NFS), Common Internet File System (CIFS), and Hypertext
Transfer Protocol (HTTP) protocols are used for file sharing or transfers. This guide
doesnt cover basic system or network administration topics, such as Internet Proto-
col (IP) addressing, routing, and network topology.
The guide provides information about configuring the filer using both the Setup
Wizard and the setup command. It is organized in the following sections:
Chapter 1 introduces the standard features of the filer and provides a
description of the software media for the filer.
Chapters 2 and 3 describe how to configure the software using the Setup
Wizard.
Chapter 4 describes how to configure the software using the setup
command.
Chapters 5 through 9 provide additional information for configuration for both
Setup Wizard and setup command users.
Chapter 10 provides information about installing SecureShare if you used the
setup command; if you used the Setup Wizard, SecureShare was automati-
cally installed.
Appendix A, "Technical Specifications," summarizes the technical specifica-
tions of the PowerVault 720N, 740N, and 760N storage systems.
Appendix B, "Installing PowerVault Filer Software," provides instructions for
installing the Data ONTAP 5.3 software.
Appendix C, "Preparing for CIFS Configuration," provides information about
deciding on a domain or workgroup configuration, choosing between
PC-style or UNIX-style permissions, and adding the filer to a Windows NT
domain.
Appendix D, "Time Zones," provides the time zones needed for the setup
prompt.
