Getting Started Guide

2
Before You Begin
Prior to starting installation, record the media access control (MAC) address for each controller (located on labels
affixed to the controller tray top and/or front), as MAC addresses are required during the installation and set-up
process and may not be accessible after installation is complete. Then, review the following documents:
Prepare the Rack
FIGURE 2 Install the PDUs and Rails
Note: If you are using a cabinet other than the Sun Rack II, see the
Installation Guide for universal rail kit installation instructions.
Install the Controller Tray and Expansion Trays
Each tray is installed in an empty 3RU slot in the cabinet. Consult the Installation Guide for further details.
FIGURE 3 Installing the Tray

Step Task
1. Install the Sun Rack II as described in the Sun Rack II User’s Guide.
2. Install the PDUs in the Sun Rack II, as described in the
Sun Cabinet Power Distribution Unit (PDU) Installation Guide.
3. Install the rails for each tray in the Sun Rack II, as described in
the Sun Storage Modular Rail Kit Installation Guide.
Step Task
1. Using two people, carefully lift and rest the tray on the bottom ledge of the left
and right rails. Caution: Tray equipment can weight up to 95 pounds.
2. Carefully slide the tray into the cabinet until the front mounting flanges on the
tray touch the vertical face of the cabinet.
3. Install and tighten four screws (two per side, customer-supplied) to secure the
tray to the cabinet front. Note: Screw size will depend on the specific rack used.
4. Install and tighten two 6-32 screws (one per side, customer-supplied) at the back
of the tray to secure the back of the tray to the cabinet.
5. Verify that the controller power switches and cabinet circuit breakers are turned
off. Then, connect each tray power supply to separate cabinet power sources.

Prepare Management Connections
FIGURE 7 shows the ports used for an out-of-band network connection to a management host. The following
procedure describes a management host LAN connection. Other connection options are described in the
Installation Guide.
FIGURE 7 Management Host Connections
Note: To configure in-band array management, see the
Installation Guide.
Connect the Data Hosts
You can connect data hosts to the Sun Storage 6180 Array through FC switches or directly. FIGURE 8 illustrates a
connection through FC switches using a single host channel on each controller. More connection options are
discussed in the Installation Guide.
FIGURE 8 Data Host Connections
Step Task
1. Locate Ethernet port 1 for Controller A and
Controller B at the back of the controller tray.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to Ethernet port 1 of
each controller.
3. Connect the other end of each Ethernet cable
to the LAN on which your management host
resides (preferably on the same subnet).
Step Task
1. Verify that data host OS requirements are met and that
host bus adapter (HBA) drivers and multipath software
are installed on the data hosts, as listed in the Sun Storage
6180 Array Release Notes.
2. Locate the data host ports at the back of the controller
tray and install an SFP into the Channel 1 port for each
controller.
3. Connect each fiber-optic cable to the host ports of
Controller A and Controller B.
4. Connect the other end of each cable to an external switch
as shown in FIGURE 8.
5. Connect the cables from each switch to the HBAs for
each data host.

6
Turn on Power and Install Management Host Software
1. Power on the array and configure controller IP addresses per the detailed information in the Installation
Guide. Note: IP addresses are auto-configured via DHCP by default, but can be changed manually using
each controller’s serial port (see FIGURE 5).
2. Download Sun Storage Common Array Manager software and install on the management host, as
described in the Sun Storage Common Array Manager Quick Start Guide.
