Preface
Audience
This guide is for data center system administrators and Professional Services
consultants who install Oracle’s Pillar Axiom Storage System that come with
most components already installed in Pillar racks. We assume that you
understand how to perform the following actions:
● Assemble hardware components
● Connect the components to the LAN and to power circuits
● Use a graphical user interface (GUI) in a web browser
This guide explains how to perform the following actions:
● Position and stabilize a populated rack in the data center
● Create rack bays
● Install hardware components.
● Connect the system to inlet power and to the networks
● Turn on the system
● Perform initial configuration
● Add additional Brick storage enclosures and Slammer storage controllers to
expand an existing Oracle Pillar Axiom 600 system
Before You Read This Guide
Being familiar with certain other technical documentation for Oracle’s Pillar
Axiom 600 helps you succeed in the use of this guide.
Before you install Oracle’s Pillar Axiom 600 system, you should be familiar with
certain basic characteristics of the environment in which you intend to install the
system.
Preface
15

To review those basic environmental characteristics, refer to the following
resources that you completed earlier with the assistance of your Pillar
representative:
● Site Preparation Survey
● Storage Requirements Survey
In addition to this guide, review the late-breaking information described in the
Pillar Axiom Customer Release Notes . That information includes important
information that was not available at the time this guide was published, including:
● Errata for technical documents (including this guide).
● Network requirements.
● Known issues.
● Various notations on the operation of Oracle’s Pillar Axiom 600 system.
There is also additional documentation in the Pillar Axiom 600 SSF Cabling
Reference guide, which includes detailed information on the cabling of Bricks and
Slammers in various configurations.
How This Guide Is Organized
This guide provides procedural and reference information to install the various
components within an Oracle Pillar Axiom 600 system, power it on, and perform
the initial configuration.
To perform any upgrade, you must contact the Pillar World Wide Customer
Support Center. Upgrade procedures are beyond the scope of this guide.
The guide is divided into seven chapters and three appendices:
● Chapter 1 provides information on the Oracle Pillar Axiom 600 system
components, equipment and tools required by the customer for the
installation process, and safety notices.
● Chapter 2 provides information on setting up the rack, component
placement plans for various system configurations, and installing mounting
rails for the Slammers, the Bricks, and the Pilot.
● Chapter 3 provides information on the installation of power distribution units
(PDUs), Slammers, Bricks, and the Pilot.
● Chapter 4 provides information on the data cable connections within the
Oracle Pillar Axiom 600 system.
Preface
16

● Chapter 5 provides information on the power cable connections within the
Oracle Pillar Axiom 600 system.
●Chapter 6 provides information on the final steps to complete the
installation. This includes procedures on powering on the system, verifying
the status of various LEDs, attaching bezels on the system components,
and attaching rack doors and panels.
● Chapter 7 provides information on how to access the Pillar Axiom Storage
Services Manager GUI and to perform the initial configuration.
● Appendix A provides information on the various LED codes and what they
indicate.
● Appendix B summarizes all warning and caution notices in various languages.
● Appendix C provides reference information on the hardware specifications
for the Oracle Pillar Axiom 600 system and its various components.
● Appendix D provides information on adding additional Bricks to an Oracle
Pillar Axiom 600 system and the associated cabling of those Bricks.
● Appendix E provides information on adding additional Slammers to an
Oracle Pillar Axiom 600 system and the associated cabling of those
Slammers.
