Unpacking Systems
Racked Oracle FS Systems are shipped to the customer site with all components
(Controllers, Pilots, and Drive Enclosures) and internal cables fully assembled
and integrated into the rack. A fork lift must be used to move the shipping pallet
to the specified site in the data center.
The shipping pallet is designed so that the rack can only be unloaded in one
direction. Orient the shipping container so that the label RAMPS ATTACH THIS
SIDE is off-loaded from the pallet. When you roll the rack off the shipping pallet,
Site preparation or pre-installation planning items
The Oracle FS System defaults to the correct Call-Home connection
parameters and IP addresses, if it uses a direct connection to the Oracle
servers. If you are using a Proxy server, the information on the Call-Home
connection parameters and IP addresses comes from the local network and
firewall administrators. Get the Call-Home configuration modes from the
site network and/or firewall administrators.
Get the operating mode of the management Ethernet: auto-negotiation, or
manual speed and duplex.
Configure the DNS server and backup DNS server for Call-Home.
Set the IP address of your primary NTP server for synchronizing system
time. This is recommended for SAN and required for NAS.
Configure an email server for password recovery and optionally for
sending e-mail notifications.
Configure SNMP servers for traps and monitoring.
Ensure that you have the default customer login and the default support
login.
Download and install the GUI or the command line interface (CLI) or both
from http://system-name-ip, where system-name-ip is the name or the
public IP address of your system.
If a UPS is being used, get the IP address of the UPS device and the UPS
SNMP community string.
Understand enough about SANs to specify capacity, type of redundancy,
priority over other volumes, random or sequential file access, read or write
I/O bias, and Clone LUN space requirements.
