NetApp DE6900 User manual

ATTENTION Possible equipment damage – Do not place any
object on top of cabinet-mounted devices.
IMPORTANT: The installation order within each drawer is from left-to-
right in each row. You must install a drive in slots 1, 4, 7, and 10. Make
sure that the four drives in each row are adjacent to each other. The
long edge of each drive should touch the drive next to it. To maintain
a uniform airflow across all drawers, the drive tray must be configured
with a minimum of four drives in the front of each row in the drive
drawer.
NOTE: The drive drawers ship installed in the DE6900 drive tray, but
the drives ship separately from the drive drawers.

You can install the drive tray into an industry-standard cabinet.
There must be a minimum depth of 76 cm (30 in.) between the front
EIA support rails and the rear EIA support rails.
Position the mounting rails in the cabinet.
• If you are installing the mounting rails above an existing tray,
position the mounting rails directly above the tray.
• If you are installing the mounting rails below an existing tray,
allow 17.8-cm (7-in.) vertical clearance for the DE6900 drive tray.
From the front of the cabinet with the mounting-rail flanges inside of
the cabinet’s mounting rail assemblies, place the mounting rail inside
the cabinet, and extend the mounting rail until the flanges on the
mounting rail touch the inside of the cabinet.

From the rear of the cabinet, use the Phillips screwdriver to loosely
tighten the two screws. Do not completely tighten the screws until you
have installed the DE6900 drive tray in the cabinet.
2.2
NOTE If the cabinet where you are installing the DE6900
drive tray contains square holes rather than round holes,
you will want to use the shoulder screw provided for in the
rail-mounting hardware kit.
2.7
Insert one M5 screw through the front of the cabinet, and screw it into
the top captured nut in the mounting rail.
Insert two M4 screws through the rear of the cabinet, and screw them
into the captured nuts in the rear flange in the mounting rail, and
tighten the adjustment screws on the mounting rail.
Repeat step 2.3 through step 2.5 to install the second mounting rail.
Insert one M5 screw through the front of the mounting rail. This screw
will attach the DE6900 drive tray to the cabinet.

Remove the front bezel by grasping the sides and pulling the bezel
toward you. Set it aside.
With the help of a mechanized lift or at least two other persons,
place the rear of the DE6900 drive tray on the mounting rails. Slide
the DE6900 drive tray into the cabinet, and verify that the rear of the
DE6900 drive tray is secured by the hold-down clips at the rear of each
mounting rail.
After the DE6900 drive tray is correctly aligned, use your thumb to
unlatch the four drive tray handles (two to a side), and remove the drive
tray handles from the DE6900 drive tray, from the rear to the front.

You must follow the power sequence in the order shown. To establish
power redundancy for trays with two power supplies, use at least two
different power distribution units (PDUs) in the cabinet. Split the power
connections from each tray into the separate PDUs. Then connect the
PDUs to external power receptacles that are on different circuits.
IMPORTANT You must turn on the power to all connected drives
before you turn on the power for the controller tray. Performing this
action makes sure that the controllers recognize each attached
DE6900 drive tray.
Turn off all of the Power switches from the rear of the storage array,
and make sure that all of the power cords are connected.
If the main circuit breaker switches in the cabinet are not already
turned on, turn on the circuit breaker switches.
Turn on the Power switch on each power-fan canister in all of the
newly installed drive trays.
Turn on the Power switch on each power-fan canister in the
controller tray.
NOTE When turning off the power to the storage array, perform the
procedure in the reverse order. Turn off the power first to the CE7900
controller tray, and then turn off the power to the DE6900 drive trays.

Two types of computers are associated with the storage array.
• Hosts send I/O to the storage array.
• Management stations manage the storage array.
The type of operating system that the management station runs is the
directory that you need to locate on the DVD.
At this time, check your current Fibre Channel host bus adapters’
(HBAs’) BIOS, and device driver versions, and, if necessary, update
them before proceeding. For HBAs, obtain the BIOS and device
drivers directly from the vendor.
For Microsoft Windows installations,
• Install the StorPort device driver.
• Install the MPIO multi-path driver on the host.
On the SANtricity ES Storage Manager Installation DVD, locate the
appropriate operating system (OS) directory.
• Review the appropriate operating system and device driver
read me files included on the SANtricity ES Storage Manager
Installation DVD for additional information.
Launch the SMIA executable file. Follow the instructions in the wizard,
and select one of these installation methods:
• For the Management Station designated as a monitor (for
monitoring and sending alert notifications), select Management
Station (full installation), and, when prompted, click
Automatically Start Monitor.
• For the Management Station that you will use to manage
the storage array, select Management Station, and, when
prompted, select Do Not Automatically Start the Monitor.
• For all I/O hosts attached to the storage array, select Host,
and, when prompted, select Do Not Automatically Start the
Monitor.

Perform a basic setup
10In the AMW, select the Setup tab, and select the Rename
Storage Array link to name the storage array. You can use up
to 30 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), pound signs (#), and
underscores (_).
Also on the Setup tab, click the Locate Storage Array link to find
the storage array in the cabinet. A white LED blinks on the front of the
selected storage array. Physically label the storage array with its name.
Click the Storage & Copy Services tab to see the storage array’s
configuration.
If the storage array is not in the Optimal state, click the Needs
Attention link. Follow the steps in the Recovery Guru.
Select the Summary tab, and select Storage Array Profile.
By clicking the tabs, find the controller firmware, NVSRAM, ESM
firmware, drive product ID, and firmware version, and record them.
Close the storage array profile.

9Discover the storage
array
Before performing this step, make sure that you have correctly
configured the storage array IP addresses as described in the Initial
Configuration and Software Installation Guide for SANtricity ES
Storage Manager.
Start the SANtricity ES Storage Manager software from your
management station either by typing SMclient and pressing
Enter (UNIX OSs), or by navigating to the directory that contains
the SMclient.exe file, typing SMclient and pressing Enter
(Windows OSs). The client software starts and shows the Enterprise
Management Window (EMW).
Select Tools >> Automatic Discovery from the EMW to discover the
storage array.
In the configuration dialog, click OK to start the automatic discovery.
Click the Devices tab of the EMW to see the storage arrays.
Double-click the storage array that you want to manage. The
associated Array Management Window (AMW) is launched.
NOTE To add storage from outside the local subnetwork, use the
manual discovery method. From the EMW, click the Add Storage
Arrays link, and follow the instructions.

For more information, refer to the “Deciding on the Management
Method” step in the Initial Configuration and Software Installation
Guide for SANtricity ES Storage Manager.
For Out-of-band management, use one of the methods below to
configure the controllers for network connectivity:
Without a DHCP server
Connect separate Ethernet cables to each controller.
Manually configure the network settings on the controllers, using
the guidelines and procedures from the “Manually Configuring the
Controllers” step in the Initial Configuration and Software Installation
Guide for SANtricity ES Storage Manager.
With a DHCP server
Connect separate Ethernet cables to each controller.
Assign static IP addresses to the controllers.
NOTE This method applies only to IPv4 networks.
Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
Connect separate Ethernet cables to each controller.
NOTE This method applies only to IPv6 networks and does not require
either a DHCP server or a router.
Both management methods are specific to the installation steps in
Section 9. This section and those that follow concern configuration of
the entire storage array.
• In-band management – Managing a storage array by using a
storage management station to send commands through the host
input/output (I/O) connection to the controller.
• Out-of-band management – Managing a storage array by using
a storage management station to send commands through the
Ethernet connections on each controller.
