Installation

Once you have ordered your hardware and software, read the following information on how to attach your storage system to a SUN Server running Solaris 2.7, 8, or 9 (and appropriate patches).

Before You Begin

The materials needed for the installation are listed below. Check to see that you have each of these items. The following pages provide more information about these materials (see headings) with specific steps and details on what to do.

Before you begin, make sure you have these items:

1.A SUN Server running Solaris 2.7, 8, or 9 (and appropriate patches)

2.One or more HBA(s)—appropriate to your storage system

3.SFP Transceivers for the Control Module/Array Module/Drive Module(s)

4.Fibre Channel cable(s) that will connect the host to the storage system

5.A storage system that is fully configured.

Note: If you don’t have your storage system configured, you can attach your laptop running the latest SMclient Field Tool to it. This will enable you to assign drives, LUNs, and volumes.
