Introduction
This paper will provide a step by step process for the installation and configuration of
the e7000 v1. It is assumed that the installation will be performed on a new unit or a
unit that has just been quick restored. Additional information about any of the topics
covered in the document can be located in the Administration guide.
Quick Restore The NAS e7000 v1 Quick Restore CD should be labeled version 2.01.
1. Place the StorageWorks NAS Executor E7000 Quick Restore CD into the
CDROM drive on the E7000. With the CD in the CDROM tray, reboot or turn
on the server. When prompted press “Q” to begin the Quick Restore.
2. When prompted for the second CD, insert the second CD.
In a cluster configuration, time can be saved by placing CD 1 into the second Node And
begin the Quick Restore process while the Quick Restore process is running on the first
node.
Rapid Launch The NAS e7000 includes a RapidLaunch CD that can run on any Windows-based PC
using Internet Explorer 5.5 (or greater). The WEBUI application is designed to be
graphical and easy-to-use, and to assist you in populating information necessary for
configuration.
NOTE: The RapidLaunch utility must be run on each node in a cluster.
Requirements
The following items are required to run the WebUI configuration application:
•Windows-based PC loaded with Internet Explorer 5.5 (or greater) on the same
network segment as the NAS e7000
•RapidLaunch CD
NOTE: The NAS e7000 is designed to be deployed without a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
These ports are available and supported by the NAS device if used.
To initialize the NAS e7000 using the WebUI configuration application:
CAUTION: Do not power up the NAS device until steps 1-5 are completed.
1. Connect the Ethernet cables to the respective network ports of the NAS e7000.
2. Verify that the Windows-based PC client is connected to the same subnet as
the NAS e7000.
3. Power on the Windows-based PC and wait until the operating system has
completely loaded.
4. Insert the RapidLaunch CD into the CD-ROM drive.
5. The RapidLaunch CD should automatically run. If the program does not
startup automatically, the program may be run manually. Click Start select Run
on the Windows taskbar, and then type the following: {CD ROM
drive}:\setup.exe. Wait for the interface to startup.
6. Go to the NAS device and power it on. It will be several minutes before the
NAS device is accessible on the network.
7. Return to the Windows-based PC. Select StorageWorks NAS from the Show
drop down list to have RapidLaunch list all NAS devices on the network.
8. All the NAS devices found on the network are displayed. The NAS device will
be displayed in the device discovery portion of the screen as an unconfigured
device. It may take several minutes for the NAS device to be found on the
network.
NOTE: The RapidLaunch utility will refresh periodically looking for new devices on the network.

Configuring and
Updating the
System
NOTE: In a Cluster configuration, from this point forward, the first node will be referred
to as NODE A and the second node will be referred to as NODE B.
The Rapid Launch utility allows an administrator to configure a node’s network settings.
The Rapid Launch utility should be run from a client, prior to performing the quick restore
process. The configuration is saved to a floppy that may then be inserted into the node
during the Quick Restore process. This is an optional configuration method. If a floppy
has not been inserted, then when the Quick Restore process completes, a screen will
appear with three options. If a Rapid Launch diskette was not created, select IGNORE,
then CONTINUE, and then select YES to complete the utility.

Installing Cluster
Services
This section is for installing and configuring cluster services. If the e7000 is not to be
part of a cluster, skip this section.
It is possible to configure cluster services remotely through the WEBUI using the Cluster
Setup Tool. To access the Cluster Setup Tool open an Internet Explorer session from the
remote client and navigate to http://hostname:3201. Once the WEBUI is open select
the link form the left hand side labeled Cluster Setup Tool. Follow the instructions in the
Cluster Setup Tool to configure the cluster configuration.
It is also possible to install clustering through the steps provided below.
Confirm that the following specifications have been met before proceeding:
•The SAN Connection Tool must be completed and all the necessary software
components for connecting to the desired storage must be installed before the
configuration of cluster services.
•At least one LUN must be presented for the configuration of the Quorum disk.
Additional LUNS may also be presented for use as shared disk resources.
•Do not present LUNs to both cluster nodes until after cluster services have been
installed.
More detailed information about setting up clusters is available at
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/planning/server/clustersteps.asp
Since each cluster node will be shut down one or more times during this installation,
print this guide, or copy it elsewhere and view it on a separate system.
Checklists for Cluster Server Installation
This checklist assists in preparing for installation. Step-by-step instructions begin after the
checklist.
Network Requirements:
•A unique NetBIOS cluster name.
•Five unique, static IP addresses: two for the network adapters on the private
network, two for the network adapters on the public network, and one for the
cluster itself.
•A domain user account for the Cluster service (all nodes must be members of the
same domain).
•Each node should have at least two network adapters—one for connection to
the node-to-node private cluster network and the others for the public data
network. Do not attempt to use a single network adaptor for both public and
private cluster communications.
Shared Disk Requirements:
Note: Do not let both nodes access the shared storage devices at the same time until
after the Cluster service is installed on at least one Node And that node is online. This
can be accomplished through selective storage presentation, SAN switch zoning or
having only one node online at all times.
•All software components listed in the SAN connection tool must be installed and
the fiber cables attached to the HBA(s) before the cluster installation is started.
•All shared disks, including the quorum disk, must be accessible from both nodes.
