Next steps

Physical installation of the TS7650G hardware components is now complete. The
remainder of this document provides instructions for configuration and setup of
the TSSC, the ProtecTIER servers, and the ProtecTIER Manager workstation.
Attention: Interdependencies among the tasks require that the tasks be completed
in the order in which they appear.
The SSR should follow the instructions in "Setting up the TSSC for use with the
TS7650G" on page 77 through Chapter 7, "RAS verification," on page 91, to
configure the TSSC for use with the gateway; configure the Reliability, Availability,
and Serviceability (RAS) package on the ProtecTIER server(s); and Perform RAS
verification and test the RAS Call Home functionality.
After the SSR completes the TSSC and RAS configuration, the trained ProtecTIER
specialist should follow the instructions in "Configuring the first server with
ptconfig" on page 97 through Chapter 14, "Testing a clustered system," on page
139 to configure ProtecTIER; install ProtecTIER Replication Manager (if applicable);
install ProtecTIER Manager and create the data repository; and upgrade
ProtecTIER to a cluster and test cluster functionality (if applicable).
When all SSR and trained ProtecTIER specialist tasks are complete, the trained
ProtecTIER specialist should turn the system over to the customer.
Note: In a replication environment, the trained ProtecTIER specialist should also
inform the customer that before replication is fully functional, the customer must
create and configure the replication grid. Instructions for doing so appear in the
IBM System Storage ProtecTIER User's Guide for Enterprise Edition and Appliance
Edition, IBM form number GC53–1156.
