McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual
6-34
As a guide for planning tasks, complete the planning checklists under
this task. Checklists provide detailed planning activities and provide
space for a planned completion date for each activity. The customer's
management information system (MIS) project manager should
examine the checklists and determine the personnel and resources
required for completing planning and installation tasks. Customer
personnel might be used from the following functional areas:
• Systems programming personnel to update input/output (I/O)
definitions to identify directors, fabric switches, and SAN routers.
• Ethernet management personnel to obtain IP addresses, gateway
addresses, and subnet masks for directors, fabric switches, SAN
routers, and the management server; and a DNS host name for
the server.
• Facilities planning personnel to outline the facility floor plan and
to arrange for electrical wiring, receptacles and telephone lines.
• Installation planning personnel to determine fiber-optic and
Ethernet cabling requirements, routing requirements, and to plan
connectivity between directors, fabric switches, SAN routers, and
attached devices.
• Trainers to determine training and education needs for
operations, administration, and maintenance personnel.
• Administrators to determine director port names and WWN
nicknames, identify attached devices, and assign password levels
and user names for director, fabric switch, and SAN router access.
