3Installing the enclosures

Installation checklist

The following table outlines the steps required to install the enclosures and initially configure the system. To

ensure a successful installation, perform the tasks in the order they are presented.

MSA Device Discovery Tool, introduced in Obtaining IP values, provides the optimal method for setting network port IP addresses.

SMU is introduced in Accessing SMU on page 51. See the SMU reference guide or online help for additional information.

If the systems are cabled for replication and licensed to use the Remote Snap feature, you can use the Replication Setup Wizard to

prepare to replicate an existing volume to another vdisk. See the SMU reference guide for additional information.

NOTE: For optimal performance, 6Gb P2000 G3 MSA System controller enclosures should be cabled to

6Gb P2000 G3 MSA System drive enclosures when expanding storage capacity.

P2000 G3 MSA System controller to drive enclosure cabling is described within this chapter. Cabling of

3Gb drive enclosures to newer 6Gb controllers is addressed for customers upgrading existing legacy

systems.

NOTE: For information on NEBS Level 3-compliant carrier-grade enclosures, see
