Connecting the 9900V Subsystem

After you have configured the 9900V fibre-channel ports, you are ready to connect the
9900V to the host system(s).
To connect the 9900V subsystem to the host system:
1. Verify subsystem installation. The Hitachi Data Systems representative verifies that the
status of the fibre ports and LDEVs is normal.
2. Shut down and power off the host system. The user should perform this activity:
a) Shut down the host system.
a) When shutdown is complete, power off the Red Hat
b) Power off all peripheral devices except for the 9900V subsystem.
c) Power off the host system. You are now ready to connect the 9900V subsystem.
3. Connect the 9900V to the host system. The Hitachi Data Systems representative
installs the fibre cables between the 9900V and the host system. Note: The Hitachi Data
Systems representative must use the 9900V maintenance manual during all installation
activities. Follow all precautions and procedures in the maintenance manual, and always
check all specifications to ensure proper installation and configuration.
4. Power on and boot up the host system. The user should perform this activity:
a) Power on the host system display.
b) Power on all peripheral devices. The 9900V should already be on, and the fibre-
channel ports should already be defined. If not, the host system may need to be
restarted in order to recognize the new devices.
c) Confirm the ready status of all peripheral devices, including the 9900V.
d) Power on and boot up the host system connected to the 9900V.
