- Page 3 The EMC Installation Roadmap for CX-Series, AX-Series, and FC-Series Storage Systems provides detailed checklists of installation procedures for supported storage-system environments, and lists the documents you will need to complete each task. EMC CLARiiON manuals related to the storage system are on the EMC CLARiiON Storage-System Hardware and Software Documentation CD that shipped with the storage system.
- Page 4 Step 1 Plan Your Configuration To plan your installation, refer to the EMC CLARiiON CX300, CX300i, CX500, CX500i, and CX700 Storage Systems Configuration and Planning Guide (on the EMC Powerlink website or the documentation CD). The guide includes background material, planning rules, and administrative worksheets. Use it to choose and understand RAID types, LUNs, file systems, and software options.
- Page 5 Confirm that your facility has appropriate electrical wiring in place to accommodate your cabinet’s power cords. For EMC cabinets, see the Site Preparation and Unpacking Guide for the 40U-C Cabinet (on the EMC Powerlink website or the documentation CD). To support all of the storage system’s high- availability features, you must receive power from two discrete circuits.

- Page 10 Step 5 Install the Storage System in the Cabinet If your CX700 SPE enclosure or DAEs are not already installed in a cabinet, install them using the instructions for installing a 4U device (SPE) or 3U device (DAE2 or DAE2P) in the EMC Rails and Enclosures Field Installation Guide.
- Page 11 Step 6 Verify Storage System Back-End Connections Use the information below and the diagram to verify the enclosure address settings and loop (bus) cabling for the SPE and your DAEs. Each CX700 storage processor has four back-end (BE) ports that connect to the corresponding primary (PRI) ports on the first DAE (DAE2 or DAE2P) in each loop.

- Page 13 Step 7 Verify Power Settings and Connections 1. Verify that the cabinet master switches are in the off position. 2. For systems that use ac power, verify that the power switch on each SPS is off. 3. Verify that the power switch on each SPE power supply and DAE power supply/ system cooling module is off (if present).
- Page 14 Step 7 Continued Verify Power Settings and Connections • The SPSs connect to separate power distribution units (PDUs) in the cabinet. • In systems with ac power, power/cooling module A in the first DAE (EA 0, loop 0) in the system connects to SPS A, and power/cooling module B in the first DAE connects to SPS B.

- Page 22 Step 11 Connect the Storage-System Data Ports You use fiber-optic cables to connect the storage-system data ports to the server’s Fibre Channel HBAs or to ports on a Fibre Channel switch that is connected to the server. 1. Remove the protective covers from each optical connector on the fiber-optic cable and on the HBA or switch port.
- Page 23 Step 11 Continued Connect the Storage-System Data Ports What Next? If you installed the Host Agent on the server, continue to Step 12, Run the Host Agent to Register the Server HBAs on page 22. If you installed the Server Utility on the server, go to Step 13, Run the Server Utility to Register the Server HBAs on page 24.
- Page 24 Step 12 Run the Host Agent to Register the Server HBAs When the Host Agent starts, it registers server HBAs with any storage systems that are connected to the HBAs either directly or through switches. It does this registration by sending the HBA initiator records to the storage systems. For certain operating systems, the Host Agent starts automatically when you boot the server.

- Page 27 Servers that use SnapView require admsnap software and servers that use SAN Copy require the admhost software. The admsnap and admhost software is on the EMC CX-Series Server Support Products CD and the procedure for installing it is in the EMC CX-Series Server Support Products Installation Guide for your server’s operating system.
- Page 28 You are now ready to use Navisphere Manager to define your storage-system security settings and configure your storage system. Refer to the appropriate checklist for your system in the EMC Installation Roadmap for CX-Series, AX-Series, and FC-Series Storage Systems (P/N 069001166) on the EMC Powerlink website.
