[. . . ] Modify the laptop's TCP/IP network settings to use DHCP. 8 Step 5 Initialize the FC4700 (continued) Critical Parameter Setup On the FC4700: 5. Create the Persistent Storage Management (PSM) LUN. Specify privileged users for the FC4700. Set the SPS test time for each SPS in your system. Specify the hostname, IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for SP-A. Use the information you collected and entered earlier in Step 1, Gather Network Information. Disconnect the service laptop from SP-A and connect it to the serial port on SP-B. COM1 SP-B RS-232 cable Service laptop SP-A EMC1997 11. Specify the hostname, IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for SP-B. Use the information you collected and entered earlier in Step 1, Gather Network Information. 9 Step 5 Initialize the FC4700 (continued) SP ALPHA SCSI ID Setup 12. Use Navisphere Manager to select each FC4700 SP Agent to be managed. Set the ALPHA SCSI ID value for each port on SP-A and SP-B. Make certain all software packages are committed. In Navisphere Manager, check the Software tab of the Array Properties selection for any software packages requiring a COMMIT. NOTE Keep the service laptop connected until you have tested the LAN connections to the Navisphere management station. Step 6 Connect a Management Station Connect each SP separately to the LAN to which your Navisphere management station is connected. . Management station LAN EMC1991 10 Step 7 Configure the FC4700 System Configure the storage system using Navisphere Manager from the Navisphere management station. IMPORTANT The following steps summarize how to configure an FC4700 storage system. For detailed instructions on each procedure, refer to the EMC Navisphere Manager Administrator's Guide. Select the FC4700 storage system you want to configure. Optional FC4700 Software Installation 2. If you have Access LogixTM, SnapView, or MirrorView software, install them in the same non-disruptive software installation (NDU). Refer to the option-specific documentation as appropriate. Make certain all software packages are committed. In Navisphere Manager, check the Software tab of the Array Properties selection for any software packages requiring a COMMIT. [. . . ] Plan your monitoring configuration (for example, whether to use distributed or centralized monitoring). Install Event Monitor on your management station from the Event Monitor CD-ROM. Set user options, create templates, and use Event Viewer to configure Event Monitor. Step 14 Set Up CLARalert® Remote Service CLARalert Remote Service (CRS) is a highly recommended call-out/ dial-in service tool available to all EMC customers. It polls the Navisphere agents in each host on a specified LAN, analyzes the agent logs, and initiates a call to the EMC Customer Support Center when warranted. [. . . ]
