Warnings and Cautions
WARNING
This product operates at high voltages. To protect against physical harm, power off
the system whenever possible while servicing.
WARNING
In case of fire or other emergency, isolate the system's power involved and alert
appropriate personnel.
CAUTION
!
Trained personnel are advised to exercise great care at all times when working on
the EMC hardware.
Remember to:
◆Remove rings, watches, or other jewelry and neckties before you begin any
procedures.
◆Use caution near any moving part and any part that may start unexpectedly
such as fans, motors, solenoids, etc.
◆Always use the correct tools for the job.
◆Always use the correct replacement parts.
◆Keep all paperwork, including incident reports, up to date, complete, and
accurate.
Static precautions EMC incorporates state-of-the-art technology in its designs, including the use of LSI
and VLSI components. These chips are very susceptible to damage caused by static
discharge and need to be handled accordingly.
CAUTION

Figure 1 through Figure 3 show the main components in the three available hardware
configurations of an EMC®VPLEX™ cluster (a single-cabinet configuration). A
VPLEX implementation can be VPLEX Local™ (single cluster) or VPLEX Metro™
(two clusters, separated by up to 5 ms round trip time, or RTT).
Note: The component placement shown for single-engine and dual-engine configurations
allows for nondisruptive upgrades to larger configurations.

Component Description
Engine (shown in
Figure 4 on page 17)
Contains the following:
• Two directors, each running VPLEX GeoSynchrony™ software and containing four Fibre Channel I/O
modules. Two I/O modules are dedicated to front-end host connections, and two are dedicated to
back-end storage connections. Each I/O module contains four 8 Gb/s Fibre Channel ports.
• I/O module carrier, containing two Fibre Channel I/O modules (one for each director) for intersite and
intrasite communication. Each I/O module provides four Fibre Channel ports.
• CPU module.
• Two 30 GB solid state drives (SSDs), one for each director.
• Two management modules
• Two redundant power supplies
• Four fans
Standby power
supply (SPS)
Provides backup power (through a pair or redundant modules) that allows an engine to remain operational
through a power loss of up to five minutes.

Introduction
Figure 4 Engine components
Fibre Channel COM
switches
Provide highly available connectivity among the directors in a dual-engine or quad-engine cluster.
Uninterrupted power
supplies (UPS)
Provide backup power to the COM switches and management server in a dual-engine or quad-engine
cluster, allowing the connected components to remain operational through a power loss of up to five minutes.
Management server Provides management to the other components in the cluster, and provides an interface for access from a
remote management station.
Management server functions include:
• Hosting VPLEX software
• Providing an interface between the customer and the VPLEX cluster
• Generating Call Home events
• Enabling secure management between clusters in a VPLEX Metro implementation
• Providing access to VPLEX components for field-replaceable unit (FRU) replacement procedures
• Facilitating nondisruptive upgrades (NDU)

Introduction
Preparing for a new installation
Required planning
and preparation
Before installing a new VPLEX cluster, perform the following tasks:
❑Verify that all necessary hardware has been received at the customer site(s), as
documented in the purchase order and shipping list.
❑Verify that four storage devices of at least 78 GB each are available for use as a
VPLEX meta-volume, a mirrored copy, and backups for the meta-volume and
mirror. (The meta-volume will contain RAID and virtual volume metadata.)
Unless only one back-end array is visible, the meta-volume and its backup
volume must be on separate arrays, and should be in separate failure domains.
This requirement also applies to the mirror volume and its backup volume.
Note: If the meta-volume is on an EMC CLARiiON®array, there must be active and passive
paths to all VPLEX directors from the meta-volume LUN.
You must ensure that these storage devices will provide a maximum average
response time of 10 ms (for random 4K reads). The best practice is to allocate
dedicated spindles on the array for any LUN that will be used as part of the
meta-volume mirror.
❑Verify that redundant fabrics are available for connection to the VPLEX I/O ports.
As Figure 8 on page 24 shows, each director should connect to both fabrics with
both the front-end and back-end ports. Connecting the ports as shown prevents
data unavailability if a single I/O module fails.
❑Review the Implementation and Planning Best Practices for EMC VPLEX Technical
Notes, available on Powerlink.
❑Ensure that you have an implementation design that is consistent with the
recommended best practices for VPLEX.
❑To successfully complete the setup, you should have reviewed best practices
for zoning, high-availability requirements, performance considerations, and
other topics for the specific arrays, hosts, or applications in your environment.
Note: EMC recommends zoning to the port WWNs.
❑Ensure that you understand the zoning requirements and recommendations of
your SAN switch vendor. If necessary, consult with the appropriate storage
administrator.
❑Review the EMC VPLEX Simple Support Matrix (available on Powerlink) for
specific array requirements.
❑Download and complete the VPLEX with GeoSynchrony 4.2 Pre-installation
Configuration Worksheet, which is available with other VPLEX documentation on
EMC Powerlink.

Preparing for a new installation 19
Introduction
❑During the setup, you need to know the port worldwide names (WWNs) of the
Fibre Channel ports that will connect to host and storage array ports. EMC
provides a VPLEX Port WWN Calculator that simplifies this task by generating
WWNs for all I/O ports you select. If you want to use the WWN calculator,
download it from Powerlink, and use it at any time before you start the setup.
❑Install and launch the VPLEX Procedure Generator as directed on Powerlink.
Then follow the link Troubleshooting >Installation and setup, and generate a
troubleshooting document, for reference if necessary during the setup procedure.
Required hardware You must have a laptop, desktop, PC, or similar device with a keyboard and
graphical interface for connecting to the VPLEX management server and configuring
your VPLEX cluster(s). For convenience, this guide uses the term laptop to describe
the device.
Before starting the installation and configuration procedures described in this guide,
confirm that your laptop has the following:
◆USB port.
◆CD-ROM drive.
◆Fully charged batteries — For mobility between the lab environment and a
quieter location from which you can perform most of the configuration tasks.
Generally, access to power outlets will not be a problem. Just in case, however,
fully charged batteries could be useful.
◆Laptop power supply or laptop-to-rack power cord — For assurance of power.
Required software Confirm that you have the following on your laptop:
◆Windows OS
◆PuTTY, version 0.60 or later (download from www.putty.org) or similar SSH
client
◆FTP client (download from SourceForge.net) and/or PSCP client
◆If you want to use the VPLEX GUI:
• Web browser (Firefox v3.5.5 or v3.5.7, or Internet Explorer 7)
• Adobe Flash Player 10.0.0 or higher
Required tools You will need the following tools when unpacking and installing a VPLEX cluster:
◆Screwdrivers (#2 Phillips and medium flat-head)
◆Adjustable or 3/4-inch wrench (to remove shipping plates)
◆7/16-inch socket wrench (to remove shipping plates)
◆8 mm Allen wrench or cabinet door key (to open and secure the doors)
◆Knife or wire cutters (to cut strapping)
