CHAPTER 1
Introduction
The Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900 series storage systems are complete preconfigured
storage solutions. The Sun StorEdge 3900 series storage systems provide two
different configurations for the direct attach (DAS) environment. The Sun StorEdge
6900 series storage systems also has two configurations for the Storage Area
Network (SAN) environment.
An introduction and an overview of the software associated with the Sun StorEdge
3900 and 6900 series storage systems is given in the Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900 Series
Reference Manual.
1.1 Overview of this Manual
Because the Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900 series storage systems are shipped to the
customer as complete configurations, this manual describes only the initial setup of
the storage system, including the power on and off procedures, the general
procedures to connect the storage system to the host, and the removal and
replacement of the field replaceable units (FRUs) within the storage system. When
there is a software component that must be used to define the configuration of a
FRU, the initial settings of the configuration are given for the FRU.
To determine the status of a FRU before removing and replacing it, see the
information in the Sun Automated Diagnostic Environment User’s Guide. To modify the
basic configuration of a FRU that has a configuration, see the Sun StorEdge 3900 and
6900 Series Reference Manual.
