Welcome

Before you begin

The system you are about to install comes factory pre-loaded with EMC software (DART) and CLARiiON

Software upgrade

If you bought a software maintenance contract, you are entitled to software upgrades only after the installation, Celerra Startup Assistant (CSA), and registration have successfully completed.

Site preparation

Complete the site preparation by verifying the following activities before instal lation:

• Network connections

• Power requirements

• Rack space requirements

Default IP addresses

The system components communicate with each other using a private Internet Protocol (IP) network. By default, this network uses the IP addresses listed in the following table.

storage array software (FLARE®).

Celerra® Network Server

If your existing IP network uses addresses on these subnets, you are required to change the private network addresses of your Celerra Network Server to different subnets before the installation.

Internal system addresses Factory values

Primary internal network 128.221.252.100 Backup internal network 128.221.253.100 Netmask 255.255.255.0 IP address of storage processor A 128.221.252.200

Installation steps:

Installation overview steps

1. Review and complete the Celerra worksheet, prepared for the installation of your Celerra NS-120. About 20 minutes.

2. If your Celerra NS-120 is to be installed in a customer-supplied rack, use this document to unpack the system from the mini-rack shipping container, remove the reusable rails, and install the system in your available rack. About 40 minutes.

Note: If your Celerra NS-120 system arrived at your site in a pre-installed cabinet and is

previously cabled, verify the cabling before you begin the use of your system.

Cable your system according to the instructions and illustrations contained in this document. Ensure that all of your cables are seated securely. About 45 minutes.

3. When you install your Celerra NS-120, use the Celerra Startup Assistant (CSA) to pre-conﬁ gure your system. The latest version of the CSA can be downloaded from the Celerra Tools section on Powerlink About 15 minutes.

4. Register your system with the service provider. If you do not register your system now, using the Celerra Startup Assistant, your request for support from your service provider will be delayed.

You can also register your Celerra NS-120 by downloading the Registration Wizard on Powerlink.

About 5 minutes.

. The CSA is also on the Celerra Applications & Tools CD.

pages 31-32, and verify that the site is properly

Implementation step:

5. After you have registered your Celerra NS-120 system, you must conﬁ gure the system for

production. You can use the Provisioning Wizard in the CSA, one of the several pre-packaged implementation conﬁ gurations based on common usages, or your own implementation using Celerra Manager to conﬁ gure your system. At the end of each one of these conﬁ gurations, your system will be ready for production.

Note: If your Celerra NS-120 system has the Fibre Channel-enabled option use Navisphere

Unpacking the Celerra NS-120 system

If your Celerra NS-120 system was purchased and shipped in an EMC 40 Unit cabinet, (70 in. where 1 unit = 1.75 in.), start on correctly and securely; otherwise start unpacking your Celerra NS-120 system from the disposable mini-rack shipping container.

Install rails into site rack from the front

Note: The ganged rails must be aligned carefully. Two people are required to install the components.

1. Insert the rail slide and seat both rail extensions into the rear channel of your rack. We recommend placing the top rail pin into the hole just above a National Electrical Manufactures Association (NEMA) Unit (U) marker.

2. Align the front of the ganged rail as shown below. Insert two retention screws in the front and back of each rail. See the following illustration.

3. Do not fully tighten the retention screws yet. Allow some adjustment space for the installation of the components.

After inserting the rail extensions, install 2 screws on each side of your rack to hold the rails in place.

Powering the EMC Celerra NS-120 system

Power Up procedure for single standby power supply (SPS) system.

Note: Verify that the cabinet circuit breakers are in the ON position. If you are installing the

NS-120 into an existing cabinet that contains other components, do not turn off the cabinet circuit breakers. Ensure that the switch for SPS A is turned OFF.

Connect the power cables as follows:

A yellow circle with a number indicates the power cable number.

1. Connect power cable from the ﬁ rst disk-array enclosure (DAE) power A to SPS A .

2. Connect power cable from the ﬁ rst DAE power B to the left power distribution panel (PDP).

3. Connect storage processor (SP) power cable A to SPS A.

4. Connect SPS A to the right PDP.

Turn on the SPS A switch.

5. Connect SP B power cable to the left PDP.

Wait for the amber fault LED on each SP to turn off (approximately 3 to 4 minutes).

6. Connect the blade enclosure power cables.

7. Connect the Control Station to the left PDP.

Wait for the control station to power up; this may take 5 to 10 minutes.

Note: If the amber LEDs on the front or back of the storage system remain on for more than 10 minutes, make sure that the system is properly cabled.

Cabling MPFS hosts over Fibre Channel

Note: If your Celerra does not use MPFS, proceed to page 28.

If you have Fibre Channel ports available for host attach, you have the option of conﬁ guring Multi-Path File System (MPFS) on your Celerra. This conﬁ guration supports connecting directly to the MPFS clients, or

connecting to the MPFS clients through a switch.

To connect directly to MPFS clients, connect each client to the corresponding Fibre Channel ports on the I/O modules in slots A2 and B2. For example, a client connected to port 0 in slot B2, should also be connected to port 0 on slot A2.

Celerra Startup Assistant worksheet

Verify that the site is properly prepared for your Celerra System. Complete the worksheet and use the information to verify the values when you run the Celerra Startup Assistant (CSA).

Note: The CSA pre-populates values based on auto-discovery from your Windows client. Shaded areas are values that will be auto-discovered based on your system and network environment; if auto-discovery fails, you need to provide the information manually.

1. Record the external network settings for the Control Station.

Control Station hostname Control Station static IP address Netmask Gateway DNS domain Primary DNS server Secondary DNS server NTP server TimeZone

2. The passwords for the root user/system backend administrator and NAS administrator are default values. These default values should be changed as soon as possible for security reasons.

root_password (default value = nasadmin) NAS administrator (default value = nasadmin)

3. The appropriate blade external network settings are auto-discovered.

Blade DNS domain Blade primary DNS server Blade secondary DNS server Blade NTP server

4. Record the storage processor external network IP addresses.

Note: Public IP addresses for your storage processors are required to use the Navisphere Service Taskbar on both Fibre Channel (FC) and non-FC enabled models for routine array maintenance. The IP addresses must be on the same subnet as the Control Station.

Storage processor A IP address Storage processor B IP address

5. If applicable, conﬁ gure service provider/customer notiﬁ cation information.

Note: The dial-in modem number is the phone number for the line that connects to the modem. This is the local number that is used by the service provider to dial into your system.

Note:

Email will not work without a DNS server.

Celerra Startup Assistant

Run the Celerra Startup Assistant (CSA)

To run the CSA:

3. Double-click the Celerra Startup Assistant shortcut on the desktop or go to

C:\ProgramFiles\EMC\CSA\startup\launch.bat.

4. Click Install. The Celerra Startup Assistant guides you through the remaining steps.

5. Then conﬁ gure your system as described in “Step 5: Conﬁ gure for Production.”

Step 5: Conﬁ gure for Production Now that the CSA pre-conﬁ guration is complete, you must conﬁ gure the system

for production. You can use the Provisioning Wizard in the CSA, one of several pre-packaged implementation conﬁ gurations based on common usages, or your own implementation using Celerra Manager to conﬁ gure your system. At the end of each of these conﬁ gurations, your system will be ready for production.

Common implementations include:

• Create CIFS shares

• Create iSCSI LUNs

• Create NFS exports

• Set up MPFS-enabled systems

• Add additional hosts for Fibre Channel enabled systems

• Perform Common Post-CSA tasks

Go to the Celerra Tools page for the NS-120 on Powerlink and select Step 5: Conﬁ gure for Production for more information.
