Configuring the FFx-RAID Ctlr.
The information provided in this section will assist you in configuring the FFx-
RAID controller installed in the PRIMERGY S60 storage subsystem for
operation.
User-supplied items
– PRIMERGY S60 storage subsystem with a minimum of two drives (for RAID
3 and 5 configuration a minimum of three drives is required) and corre-
sponding FFx-RAID controllers.
– Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) QLA2200 installed in the host.
– Fibre cables to connect the HBA to the storage subsystem.
If you are installing a dual-active configuration, additional hardware require-
ments must be met:
– Both FFx-RAID controllers must have the same physical configuration:
number of FC-channels, amount of memory, and the same firmware version
and type.
2.1
Installing the Hardware
Follow the steps below to prepare the hardware:
Ê Refer to the HBA manufacturer's installation instructions and install the HBA
in the host server.
Ê Set the DIP switches on the host adapter of the FFx-RAID controller
according to the desired connection (see section "DIP Switches Settings for
Different Connections" on page 6).
Ê If needed, refer to the Operating Manual for the PRIMERGY S60 [6] and
install the FFx-RAID controller in the storage subsystem.
I
If this is a single controller installation, the FFx-RAID controller must
be installed in slot 0 (as DAC 0, see figure 1 on page 4). If it is not
installed in slot 0, the FFx controller will not boot.
Ê With all components powered off, connect the drive and host channels
according to the desired configuration (see chapter 3 "Configurations" on
page 17).
