Setting Up And Booting The System In Data Ontap 7-Mode - IBM N3240 Installation And Setup Instructions

Setting up and booting the system in Data ONTAP 7-Mode

Use these instructions to set up and boot the N3240 filer.
1. Make sure the Configuration worksheet from the Data ONTAP Software Setup Guide for 7-Mode is
completed and available for use.
Note: IBM recommends that you print a copy of this worksheet from the Data ONTAP Software Setup
Guide for 7-Mode.
2. Check that your system is properly set up. Make sure that the expansion unit IDs and speed
switches are properly set, and that the cabling is correct for your configuration.
3. Start a console session for each controller module.
4. Turn on the power to only the expansion units, making sure you turn them on within 5 minutes of
each other.
5. After you have powered on the storage expansion units, turn on the N3240.
Note: It takes the LEDs on the system power supplies a few seconds to illuminate.
The system begins to boot, and then it stops at the first installation question, which is displayed on
the console window.
6. Use the console interface to answer the setup questions for each controller module in your system.
Use the data you collected with the Configuration worksheet.
7. After you complete the setup, check the licenses on the N3240 controller modules by entering the
following command:
license
Add any missing licenses by entering the following command for each missing license:
license add <license_code>
where <license_code> is the license code for the product.
Note: Clustering must be licensed on both nodes in an N3240 HA pair.
8. Reboot the nodes by entering the following command:
reboot
9. Enable clustering by entering the following command on one node's console:
cf enable
10. Check each node's status by entering the following command:
cf status
Initial setup is now complete for a high availability N3240 filer.
Refer to the Data ONTAP High Availability and MetroCluster Configuration Guide for 7-Mode to verify
that the system is set up correctly and ready to operate.
