Unpacking Systems

Not-racked Oracle FS System components are shipped in separate cardboard
cartons on a pallet.
Each shipping carton contains the following items taped on the cardboard:
Customer system record
•
Product label
•
Component label
•
Site preparation or pre-installation planning items
Set 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.
Get 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.
If a UPS is being used, get the IP address of the UPS device and the UPS
SNMP community string.
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.
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.
