Chapter 1 Preparation
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.

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.
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.
Figure 1.1 LAN control (switching of the Master CM)
Make sure to connect each controller to the LAN for operation
management.

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.
•Network devices and cables
Network devices, such as LAN switches, must be prepared to connect an ETERNUS DX Disk
storage system to the LAN.
•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.

IMPORTANT
•Do not use the RMT port. It is only used for maintenance work.
•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.

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
Disk storage system to the LAN for operation management.

■For regions other than EMEA&I
•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.
The following section provides connection examples and explains the
necessary preparation for when the IP address of the Slave CM is set.
•For the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system, two IP addresses for the
MNT port are 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 Disk storage system to the LAN for
operation management.

IMPORTANT
•To use the RMT port, make sure to specify an IP address on a
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.

•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.
-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 Disk storage system to the LAN for operation management.

●Connection example with a dedicated remote support port
Use RMT ports when the network connection for remote support needs to be separated from
the company LAN.
-For the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system, two IP addresses are required (one IP
address for the MNT port and one IP address for the RMT port).
-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.
-Four enhanced Cat-5 twisted-pair type LAN cables are required (two for connection to the
remote support center and two for connection to the LAN for operation management).
