Installing The 9900V Subsystem - Hitachi Freedom Storage Lightning 9900 V series Configuration Manual

Installing the 9900V Subsystem

The 9900V subsystem comes with all hardware and cabling required for installation.
Installation of the 9900V subsystem involves the following activities:
1. Hardware installation. The Hitachi Data Systems representative performs this activity,
which includes:
– Assembling all hardware and cabling.
– Loading the latest microcode and SVP updates for full fibre support.
– Installing and formatting the logical devices (LDEVs) using the SVP. (This requires
complete LDEV configuration information from the user, including the desired
number of OPEN-x, LUSE, Virtual LVI/LUN and VLL LUSE devices.)
– Installing the fibre-channel adapters and cabling. Note: The total fibre cable length
attached to each fibre-channel adapter must not exceed 500 meters (1,640 feet). Do
not install/de-install fibre-channel cabling while Red Hat
cause the system to hang. Always confirm that Red Hat
installing/de-installing fibre cabling.
– Configuring the 9900V fibre port topology. The fibre topology parameters for each
9900V fibre-channel port depend on the type of device to which the 9900V port is
connected, and the type of port. Determine the topology parameters supported by
the device, and set your topology accordingly (see sections 2.3 and 2.5).
Important: When the CHT is replaced, you must pull out all fibre cables that are
connected to it.
2. LUN Manager installation. The user or Hitachi Data Systems representative can perform
this activity. You will use the LUN Manager software to configure the 9900V fibre-
channel ports. For instructions on installing the LUN Manager software, please refer to
the Hitachi Freedom Storage
User's Guide (MK-92RD101). For further information on LUN Manager, please refer to the
Hitachi Freedom Storage
Note: If the remote LUN Manager feature is not installed, the Hitachi Data Systems
representative can configure fibre-channel ports for you using the SVP of the subsystem.
Please contact your Hitachi Data Systems account team for further information on fibre-
channel configuration services.
