clustered system is being created, the amber fault LED, on the node canister
blinks (the middle light, at the rear of the unit designated by the !).
3. When the amber fault LED stops blinking, proceed to "Step 17. Initializing the
file modules."
You must initialize your file modules before using them for the first time.
Procedure
As soon as you remove the USB flash drive from the control enclosure as
instructed by the InitTool.exe tool, perform the following procedure:
1. Make sure that the blue identify indicator on each file module is blinking.
2. Insert the USB flash drive into the upper file module so that it becomes node 1.
The configuration files that the control enclosure and the initialization tool put
onto the upper file module set up the management communication paths in the
Storwize V7000 Unified system.
3. Wait for the blue identify indicator on each file module to go out or to start
blinking again. This should only take a few minutes, but it might take more
than one hour if the Storwize V7000 Unified software level is older than 1.3.2.
4. Insert the USB flash drive into a Windows PC and run the initialization tool
executable program that is on the USB flash drive.
5. If this part of the initial setup of the system completes successfully, the
initialization tool provides a link to the management GUI where you can view
the progress to completion of the initial setup task.
6. If there was a problem with this part of the initial setup, the initialization tool
provides the error code and links you to the Information Center page that helps
you troubleshoot the problem.
7. If the initial setup does not complete successfully, the management GUI
provides the error code and links you to the Information Center page that helps
you to troubleshoot the problem.
