Installation Environment
The OceanStor virtual intelligent storage 6000 series virtual intelligent storage system (hereinafter
referred to as the VIS6000 ) includes two products: VIS6300 and VIS6600. The VIS6600 is superior to the
VIS6300 in hardware configuration and has more powerful capability of processing services. Unless
otherwise specified, this document takes the VIS6000 with the AC power as an example.
This document takes the VIS6000 that is installed to the N610E-22 cabinet as an example.
This document is based on the prerequisite that the N610E-22 cabinet is well installed and grounded.
Reserve the space of at least 100 cm between the cabinet and the wall and 120 cm between the cabinets
for the convenience of maintenance, ventilation, and heat dissipation.
Before installing the device into the cabinet, ensure that air in the cabinet exchanges with air in the
machine room. It is suggested to reserve the space of 1 U above the device and below the device.
N610E-22 Cabinet

The N610E-22 cabinet is equipped with a captive nut mount bar.
The material list includes grounding cables and power cables.

The VIS6000 supports Gigabit Ethernet (GE) port modules and Fiber Channel (FC) port modules.
With full configuration, the VIS6000 can be configured with six port modules:
●Two FC port modules + four GE port modules
●Four FC port modules + two GE port modules
●Six GE port modules
The VIS6000 provides ten interface cards with five on each side. The interface cards are numbered. The
numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 from top to bottom. The interface cards that are numbered 0, 1, and 2 are
used for carrying port modules. The interface cards that are numbered 3 and 4 are used for carrying
system disks.
The FC port module and GE port module can be installed in the slots of the interface card without
restriction. The FC port module or the GE port module can be installed in slot 0,1, or 2.
According to the actual application environment choose the types and numbers of port modules. If the
interface card does not carry port modules, use a filler panel to hide the interface card. The controller A
and B must carry port modules in the same mode. The sequence of port modules on each side in the
VIS6000 must be consistent. In this way, the 1+1 redundant backup can be achieved.

If not specified, the VIS6000 in this document refers to the
VIS6000 in the production center.
The table lists the device positions in the cabinet. Install
the VIS6000 and other devices based on the actual
environment.
Install the VIS6000 at the bottom of the cabinet for the
convenience of ventilation and heat dissipation of VIS6000
components.

bInstall the Guide Rail
The two parts of an adjustable guide rail are bound together with a binding strap. When you unfasten the
binding strap, the two parts can slide freely. Be careful when you install the adjustable guide rail.
Scenario 1: Installing the L-Shape Guide Rail
Scenario 2: Installing the Adjustable Guide Rail
Place the guide rail to be installed in the corresponding position, see step ①in the figure. Ensure that the
direction of the adjustable guide rail is right. Align the positioning pins of the guide rail with the mounting
holes of the slide rail on the inner side of the cabinet, see step ②. Fix the adjustable guide rail on the slide
rail of the cabinet with screws. On the front side of the slide rail, the screw is installed in the third hole of
the adjustable guide rail. On the rear side of the slide rail, the screws are installed in the second and forth
holes of the adjustable guide rail, see step ③. Install another adjustable guide rail on the other side of the
cabinet with the same method.

2 Connecting the Other End of the Grounding Cable
to the Grounding Terminal of the Cabinet
The N610E-22 cabinet is installed with grounding cables. You can remove
the grounding cables and then install the grounding cables in the material list
of the VIS6000 to the cabinet.
Before connecting the grounding cable to the cabinet grounding end, check
whether the cabinet grounding end is covered by insulation paint. If the
cabinet grounding end is covered by insulation paint, scrape the paint off,
and then connect the grounding cable to the cabinet grounding end. If the
grounding end is not covered by insulation paint, connect the grounding
cable directly to the cabinet grounding end. After connecting the grounding
cable to the cabinet, use a multimeter to check whether the device is
grounded correctly. If the device is grounded correctly, execute the
operations in the following sections.

Center and the Disaster Recovery Center (Only the FC Switch
Is Used in the Networking of the Production Center and the
Disaster Recovery Center)
Connecting Storage Array and
Application Server to the VIS6000
1 Confirming Connection Modes
The networking modes in the production center or the disaster recovery center can both use the FC
switch and the Ethernet switch. Please choose the networking mode according to the actual environment.
This section takes the networking mode that uses only the FC switch or the Ethernet switch in the
production center or the disaster recovery center as an example.
You can the choose FC network (within 60 KM) or Ethernet to connect the production center to the
disaster recovery center. Please choose the networking mode according to the actual environment. The
following figures take the Ethernet on which the production center and the disaster recovery center are
connected as an example.

The connection of port modules on the left and right of the rear of the VIS6000 is symmetrical. The
following operation takes port modules on the left of the rear of the VIS6000 as an example. For the
connection of port modules on the right, see the following installation procedure to perform similar
operations.
The signal cables are wired on the right of the rear of the cabinet (you can lead signal cables connected
to the left port modules to the right of the cabinet by using the cable tray). When cabinets are connected,
wire the connecting cables inside the cabinet support bridges.
For the FC service ports to which FC cables are not connected, use protective caps.
