Controller Installation

Chapter 2
Controller Installation
These steps provide an overview of the controller installation process. The steps are explained in detail
in the following sections of this chapter.
1. Unpack the controller system.
2. If it is necessary to install the controller in the 19-inch cabinet(s), contact your service provider.
NOTE :
Most controller configurations arrive at sites pre-mounted in a 42U or 45U rack supplied by
SGI.
3. Set up and connect the drive enclosures to the controller.
4. Connect the controller to your Infiniband (IB) or Fibre Channel (FC) switch and host computer(s).
5. Connect your RS-232 terminal to the controller.
6. Power up the system.
7. Configure the storage array (create and format LUNs - Logical Units) via RS-232 interface, Telnet,
or GUI.
8. Define and provide access rights for the clients in your SAN environment. Shared LUNs need to be
managed by SAN management software. Individual dedicated LUNs appear to the client as local
storage and do not require management software.
9. Initialize the system LUNs for use with your server/client systems. Partition disk space and create
file systems as needed.
2.1 Setting Up the Controller
This section details the installation of the hardware components of the controller system.
NOTE :
Follow the safety guidelines for rack installation given in the “Preface”.
The SGI InfiniteStorge 15000 must be removed from the shipping pallet using a
minimum of 4 people. The racked unit may not be tipped more than 10 degrees,
either from a level surface or rolling down an incline (such as a ramp).
