This chapter describes the necessary preparation for installation of the ETERNUS DX Disk
storage system.
1.1 Connection Preparation
This section describes the necessary information, and the devices and cables that should be pre-
pared before you connect the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system to a Storage Area Network
(SAN) and a LAN network for operation management.
1.1.1 SAN Connection
A SAN is a dedicated network for connecting a server (host) to an ETERNUS DX Disk storage
system. FC, iSCSI, and SAS interfaces can be used for the host interface. The connection
destination may be the server or the switch depending on which connection configuration is
used. For the possible combinations of servers, Host Bus Adapters (HBAs), and switches, refer
to "Server Support Matrix" by accessing the URL that is described in "READ ME" on the
Documentation CD provided with the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system.
The host interface cables that are used for connecting the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system to
a SAN must be obtained separately. When a switch is used to connect a FC or iSCSI model
ETERNUS DX Disk storage system to the server, the appropriate switch for the type of host
interface that is to be connected must also be prepared separately.
Table 1.1 Appropriate switch for each host interface type
Host interface Switch to be prepared

FC FC switch
iSCSI LAN switch

1.1.2 Connection to LAN for Operation Management
The ETERNUS DX Disk storage system must be connected to the LAN for operation manage-
ment during system maintenance and operation management.
Make sure to connect each controller to the LAN for operation

management.
The network environment setup is performed during installation of the ETERNUS DX Disk
storage system. IP addresses must be prepared before the setup. Network devices that are used
to connect the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system to the LAN for operation management must
also be prepared.
This section explains how the controller of the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system controls the
LAN, the necessary preparation for connection to the LAN for operation management, and notes
on LAN connections.
1.1.2.1 LAN Control Controller (Master CM/Slave CM)
For a dual-controller type, the controller (CM) that is given the authority to manage the LAN is
called the Master CM and the other CM is called the Slave CM.
When an error occurs in the Master CM or LAN, the Master CM is switched automatically.
IP addresses of the LAN ports are not assigned to each CM. These IP addresses are assigned to
the role of master or slave. If the Master CM is switched, the same IP addresses are reused.
Therefore, even if the Master CM is switched and the physical port is changed, access can be
maintained via the same IP addresses.

Each CM has an LED that lights up green to identify when it is the

Master CM.
Setting the IP address of the Slave CM ensures that ETERNUS Web
GUI or ETERNUS CLI can be used from the Slave CM if an error occurs
on the LAN path for the Master CM.
The Master CM and the Slave CM perform different functions. The
Slave CM can only switch the Master CM and display the status of the
ETERNUS DX Disk storage system.
The IP address of the Slave CM does not need to be set for normal
operation.

1.1.2.2 Preparation for Connection to the LAN for Operation Management
The IP addresses and the network devices that must be prepared before an ETERNUS DX Disk
storage system is connected to the LAN for operation management are explained for the
following examples of connection configurations.
Check the network environment and prepare the necessary items. The notification method and
network topology vary depending on the region in which the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system
is used.
For the EMEA&I region
IP addresses for the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system

MNT ports are used to connect to a LAN for operation management.
Do not use the RMT port. It is only used for maintenance work.
IMPORTANT
When specifying the IP address of the Slave CM, specify an IP
address that is in the same subnet but is different from the IP
address of the Master CM.
Network devices and cables

Network devices, such as LAN switches, must be prepared to connect an ETERNUS DX Disk
storage system to the LAN.
16
This section provides connection example and explains the necessary preparation.
For the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system, one IP address for the MNT port is required.
An IP address is required for a PC terminal that is used for maintenance operations
performed by a maintenance engineer.
Network devices such as LAN switches are required for operation management.
Two enhanced Cat-5 twisted-pair type LAN cables are required to connect the ETERNUS DX

IP addresses for the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system

MNT ports are used to connect to a LAN for operation management.
The remote support uses MNT ports for a network connection by default. In this situation, the
network connection for the remote support is transferred via the company LAN. When the
network connection for remote support needs to be separated from the company LAN, use
the RMT ports to connect to the remote support center via a different network.
To use the RMT port, make sure to specify an IP address on a

IMPORTANT
different subnet from the MNT port as the IP address of the RMT
port. When the network setting is not performed for the RMT port, the
RMT port is disabled.
Make sure to connect each controller to the network for remote sup-
port.
When specifying the IP address of the Slave CM, specify an IP
address that is in the same subnet but is different from the IP
address of the Master CM.
18
Network devices and cables

Network devices, such as LAN switches, must be prepared to connect an ETERNUS DX Disk
storage system to the LAN. When the LAN for remote support is separate from the LAN for
operation management, routers and LAN cables must be prepared to connect to the other
network.
Connection example without a dedicated remote support port

The MNT ports are used for the network connection of the remote support. The RMT ports are
not used.
- For the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system, one IP address for the MNT port is required.

This chapter describes the procedure for installing the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system in a
rack.
Make sure to check "Safety Precautions" before installing the ETERNUS DX Disk storage
system in a rack. Also refer to the manual provided with racks.
Do
CAUTION
When performing the installation, make sure to wear a wrist strap or

touch a metal part to discharge the human body's natural static
electricity. Failure to discharge static electricity may cause device
failure.
If components are installed in a way other as described in this
section, damage and/or device failure or electrical shock may occur.
Do not install the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system with cables,
such as power cords, connected.
The ETERNUS DX Disk storage system contains delicate
components, and should be handled gently. Do not drop or knock the
ETERNUS DX Disk storage system against the rack when installing
it. Also, do not knock the other devices installed in the rack.
The center of gravity must be taken into consideration to prevent a
rack from toppling over. Enclosures should generally be installed
from bottom to top to lower the center of gravity and to ensure the
safe use of racks.
If the storage system is installed at the bottom of a rack, a space for the
surplus of cables may not be available in some racks, preventing the
storage system from being pulled out when maintenance work is
required. In this case, secure a space of 1U or more at the bottom when
installing the storage system.
To install an enclosure, power distribution units, power synchronized
units, and UPS units in a single rack, mount the devices in the following
order (from bottom to top).

RAID in the storage system device).
For regions other than EMEA&I, this setting is not required when
IMPORTANT
the RAID groups are set with the factory default settings. To
change the factory default settings, delete the factory settings
(LUN mappings, volumes, and RAID groups) and then create
your own RAID groups. For details on deleting factory settings,
refer to "ETERNUS Web GUI User's Guide".
For RAID5, RAID5+0, and RAID6, ensure that a single RAID
group is not being configured by too many disks. Doing so may
increase the time to perform data restoration from parities and
Rebuild/Copyback when a disk fails.
Disks with different types can be installed in a single Drive
Enclosure. However, all disks configuring a RAID group should be
of the same type. Do not include disks with a different type in a
RAID group.
Use disks that have the same capacity and speed to configure
RAID groups.
- If a RAID group is configured with disks that have different
capacities, all the disks in the RAID group are recognized as
having the same capacity as the disk with the smallest
capacity in the RAID group and the rest of the capacity in the
disks that have a larger capacity cannot be used.
- If a RAID group is configured with disks that have different
speeds, the performance of the RAID group is reduced to the
speed of the disk that has the lowest speed.
Do
CAUTION
Data may not be recovered if a disk fails because RAID0

configuration is not redundant. RAID1, RAID1+0, RAID5,
RAID5+0, and RAID6 are recommended as the RAID level.
