xStorwize V7000 Unified: Quick Installation Guide

Chapter 1. Before you begin the installation
The Quick Installation Guide contains a set of instructions to help you unpack and
install your system. The guide is divided into three chapters. The steps in the first
chapter involve verifying your order, becoming familiar with the hardware
component terminology, and ensuring that you have met the environmental
requirements. The steps in the second chapter involve installing the hardware and
attaching the data cables and power cords. The final chapter helps you configure
the file modules and control enclosures. It ends with enabling the Tivoli Assist
On-site support program.
Occasionally you are referred to topics in the Storwize V7000 Unified Information
Center. A copy of the Storwize V7000 Unified Information Center is on the CD that
is included in your shipping order.
Important information:
1. The guide assumes that you have read the planning information regarding your
physical environment that is available from the Storwize V7000 Unified
Information Center.
2. Ensure that you have available any cables that you are supplying.
IBM Storwize V7000 Unified Information Center
The most current information for Storwize V7000 Unified is available in the IBM
Storwize V7000 Unified Information Center at publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/
storwize/unified_ic/index.jsp. If you are unable to access the internet, there is a
copy of the information center on the software CD that was shipped with the
product, it contains the environmental notices, the publication PDFs, and the
information center content.
This documentation steps you through setting up a system
Setting up a new system consists of installing a control enclosure and two file
modules and up to nine expansion enclosures.
Be familiar with the following information
vWhere it is applicable, a CAUTION notice indicates situations that can be
potentially hazardous to you. Before doing a step that contains a caution notice,
read and understand the statement that accompanies it.
vSliding drawers: Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature (like the file
module) if the rack stabilizer brackets are not attached to the rack. Do not pull
out more than one drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull
out more than one drawer at a time.
vFixed drawers: Any fixed drawer (like the V7000) must not be removed for
servicing unless specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer
partially or completely out of the rack might cause the rack to become unstable
or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.
vUse safe practices when lifting. The fully populated control enclosure weighs
about 57.2 lbs (26 kg). Each file module weights 46.5 lbs (21.09 kg) to 55 lbs (25
kg), depending on the configuration. At least two people are required to lift and
install or to remove either unit from the rack.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2011 1

vDo not use rack-mounted devices as a shelf or workspace. Do not place any
object on top of rack-mounted devices.
Tools needed
A screwdriver is the only tool needed for the system installation. The screwdriver
can be either a flat-blade screwdriver or a cross head screwdriver.
Step 1. Reviewing your packing slip

The USB key (also known as a USB flash drive) is packaged with the publications
and contains the initialization tool for performing the initial system configuration.
Step 3. Verifying environmental requirements
Certain requirements for the physical site must be met to ensure that your system
works reliably. This step includes verifying that adequate space in a suitable rack is
available and that requirements for power and environmental conditions are met.
This documentation assumes that you have completed the physical planning for
the environment of your system.
If you have not done the environmental planning for your system, see the Storwize
V7000 Unified physical installation planning topic in the Storwize V7000 Unified
Information Center.
You must use a supported web browser. Verify that you are using a supported web
browser from the following website:
Support for Storwize V7000 Unified website at www.ibm.com/storage/support/
storwize/v7000/unified
1. From the Search support input field, type browser.
You are shown a search result for “IBM Storwize V7000 Unified Supported
Hardware List, Device Driver, Firmware and Recommended Software Levels.”
Click the search entry.
2. Scroll down to the Other Hardware and Software section.
3. Find and select Management GUI.
Step 4. Reviewing enclosure location guidelines
Control enclosure:
Follow these guidelines to create a plan that identifies an appropriate location in
the rack for the enclosure and file modules that you are installing now or will be
installing later.
Note: These guidelines assume that you are installing a new enclosure or
enclosures. If you are adding enclosures to an existing rack, you must consider the
amount of space available and the length of cables to the enclosure.

Chapter 1. Before you begin the installation 9

If you are installing a control enclosure only, follow these guidelines:
Position the enclosure in the rack so that you can easily view it and access it for
servicing. This action helps the rack to remain stable and provides a way for two
or more people to install and remove the enclosure.
If you are installing a control enclosure plus one or more expansion enclosures,
follow these guidelines:
If you have one or more expansion enclosures, position the control enclosure in the
middle of the expansion enclosures. Balance the expansion enclosures above and
below the control enclosure. Refer to Figure 10 on page 11.
For example, position the control enclosure in the middle of the enclosures for ease
of cabling.
vYou can have no more than five expansion enclosures attached to SAS port 1 of
the control enclosure.
vYou can have no more than four expansion enclosures attached to SAS port 2 of
the control enclosure.
vPosition the enclosures together; avoid adding other equipment between
enclosures.
vWhen you add the first expansion enclosure to a control enclosure, it is
preferable to add the enclosure directly below the control enclosure.
vWhen you add a second expansion enclosure, it is preferable to add the
enclosure directly above the control enclosure. For each additional expansion
enclosure that you add, alternately add it below or above the control enclosure.
vPosition the enclosures in the rack so that you can easily view them and access
them for servicing. This action helps the rack to remain stable and provides a
way for two or more people to install and remove the enclosures.
If you are installing an expansion enclosure to an existing system, follow these
guidelines:
When you add the first expansion enclosure to a control enclosure, it is preferable
to add the enclosure directly below the control enclosure. When you add a second
expansion enclosure, it is preferable to add the enclosure directly above the control
enclosure. For each expansion enclosure that you add, alternately add it below or
above the control enclosure. Refer to Figure 10 on page 11.
If you are adding an expansion enclosure to an existing system, you do not need to
power off the system. You can add an expansion enclosure while the system is
operational.
