Configuring the Controllers at the Initiator Site
Before configuring the controllers at the initiator site, complete the following:
• Identify the WWN on each host bus adapter and document for later use.
• Establish the name for the initiator site. Use a naming convention that is
meaningful, such as building or city names (for example, SiteA for the initiator
site and SiteB for the target site). Make this name different from the one assigned
to the target.
To get the DT system up and running you must first set up and configure the
controllers. To set up and configure the controllers:
1. Power off all storage subsystems, Fibre Channel switches, PDUs, and the main
power supply.
2. Plug all cabinet PDU power cords into the main power receptacles.
3. Apply power to the main power source.
IMPORTANT: Be sure that there is a serial connection to each of the controllers.
4. Turn on all PDUs.
5. Be sure that the Fibre Channel switches are powered on but not cabled.
6. Power on the storage subsystems. (This refers to RA8000/ESA12000 storage
subsystems.)
NOTE: The controllers will boot when the storage subsystems are powered up if the
PCMCIA program cards are already installed. If there are no cards in the controller slots,
insert them now, and press the reset button. Refer to the StorageWorks HSG80 Array
Controller ACS maintenance and service guide for complete instructions on properly
seating the controller cards.
7. Establish a local connection to the controller. Refer to the StorageWorks HSG80
Array Controller ACS maintenance and service guide for instructions.
