Special caution and safety notices

This information describes special safety notices that apply to the Storwize V5000.
These notices are in addition to the standard safety notices supplied and address
specific issues relevant to the equipment provided.

General safety

When you service the Storwize V5000, follow general safety guidelines.

Use the following general rules to ensure safety to yourself and others:

v Observe good housekeeping in the area where the devices are kept during and

after maintenance.

v Follow the guidelines when lifting any heavy object:

1. Ensure that you can stand safely without slipping.

2. Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.

3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you attempt to

lift.

4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this action removes

the strain from the muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any objects that

weigh more than 18 kg (40 lb) or objects that you think are too heavy for you.

Safety and environmental notices xv

v Do not perform any action that causes a hazard or that makes the equipment

unsafe.

v Before you start the device, ensure that other personnel are not in a hazardous

position.

v Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel,

while you are servicing the unit.

v Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that other people will not trip over

it.

v Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of a device.

Ensure that your sleeves are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your
hair is long, fasten it.

v Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or fasten it with a

nonconducting clip, approximately 8 cm (3 in.) from the end.

v Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for your

clothing.

Remember: Metal objects are good electrical conductors.

v Wear safety glasses when you are: hammering, drilling, soldering, cutting wire,

attaching springs, using solvents, or working in any other conditions that might
be hazardous to your eyes.

v After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires.

Replace any safety device that is worn or defective.

v Reinstall all covers correctly after you have finished servicing the unit.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Ensure that you understand how to handle devices that are sensitive to static
electricity.

Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To
avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective bags until you
are ready to install them.

To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:

v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around

you.

v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or frame.

v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.

v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the

device.

v While the device is still in its antistatic bag, touch it to an unpainted metal part

of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This action removes static electricity
from the package and from your body.)

v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your Storwize

V5000, without putting it down. If it is necessary to put the device down, place
it onto its static-protective bag. (If your device is an adapter, place it
component-side up.) Do not place the device onto the cover of the Storwize
V5000 or onto a metal table.

v Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather because

heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Chapter 1. Before you begin the installation

Before you can begin installing your system, you must unpack and verify your
order and make other preparations.

The Quick Installation Guide contains a set of instructions to help you unpack and
install your system. The guide is divided into three chapters.

1. The steps in Chapter 1, “Before you begin the installation” (the chapter you are

now reading) involve verifying your order, becoming familiar with the
hardware component terminology, and ensuring that you have met the
environmental requirements.

2. The steps in Chapter 2, “Installing the hardware,” on page 11 involve installing

the hardware and attaching the data cables and power cords.

|
|
|

3. Chapter 3, “Configuring the system,” on page 27 helps you create your

configuration file and access the management GUI. The management GUI
guides you through the initial configuration process.

Important information:

v This guide presumes that you have read the planning information regarding

your physical environment that is available from the Storwize V5000 Information
Center.

v Ensure that any cables that you are supplying are available for installation.

Installation scenarios

Depending on your order, this documentation steps you through setting up your
system for the following scenarios:

v Setting up a new system that consists of a control enclosure only. In this case,

you are not installing any expansion enclosures.

v Setting up a new system that consists of a control enclosure and one or more

expansion enclosures.

v Adding an expansion enclosure to an existing system. In this case, you initially

installed a control enclosure (and, optionally, one or more expansion enclosures).
You want to add an expansion enclosure to your existing system. You do not
need to power off the system. You can add an expansion enclosure while the
system is operational.

v Adding a control enclosure (either by itself or with one or more expansion

enclosures) to an existing system. You do not need to power off the system. You

can add a control enclosure while the system is operational.

v Setting up a new system that consists of more than one control enclosure.

Install the first control enclosure and then the required expansion enclosures. For
each additional control enclosure, complete the setup as if you were adding it to
an existing system.

Verifying environmental requirements

|
|

The environmental and electrical requirements for the physical site must be met to
ensure that your system works reliably.

This procedure includes verifying that adequate space in a suitable rack is
available and that requirements for power and environmental conditions are met.
This documentation assumes that you have completed the physical planning for
the environment of your system.

If you have not done the environmental planning for your system, see the
“Storwize V5000 physical installation planning” topic in the Storwize V5000
Information Center.

Reviewing enclosure location guidelines

|
|

Before installing the enclosures, you must be familiar with these enclosure location
guidelines.

Installing a control enclosure only

If you are installing a control enclosure only, follow these guidelines.

Position the enclosure in the rack so that you can easily view it and access it for
servicing. Ensure that you locate the enclosure low enough for the rack to remain
stable and provide a way for two or more people to install and remove the
enclosure.

Installing a control enclosure and one or more expansion
enclosures

If you are installing a control enclosure plus one or more expansion enclosures,
follow these guidelines.

v Each Storwize V5000 enclosure to be installed requires 2U of rack space.

v Each assembled enclosure weighs more than 18kg. There must be sufficient

space at the front of the rack for two persons to carry the enclosure safely.

|
|

|
|
|
|

v Install all enclosures that constitute one system in contiguous positions in a rack.

Place the control enclosure in the middle of the rack.

v Each control enclosure supports connection to up to six expansion enclosures (in

two SAS chains of up to three expansion enclosures each). If this system
installation has fewer than six expansion enclosures, reserve space directly above
or below the system to allow future expansion.

v If a rack is to be only partially filled, install the enclosures low enough for the

rack to remain stable and enable easy access to the enclosures for servicing.

Adding an expansion enclosure to an existing system

If you are adding an expansion enclosure to an existing system, follow these
guidelines.

v You do not need to power off the system. You can add an expansion enclosure

while the system is operational.

v Add the first expansion enclosure directly below the control enclosure.

v Add the second expansion enclosure directly below the first, and so on.

10 Storwize V5000: Quick Installation Guide

Chapter 2. Installing the hardware

After verifying that you have all of the hardware components that you require,
you can install them.

You have completed the initial steps of verifying the shipping contents and
becoming familiar with the hardware components. You have verified that the
power and environmental requirements are met and have planned the location of
the enclosures. You are now ready to begin installing the hardware components
and connecting the data cables and power cords.

Installing the support rails

This task applies if you are connecting one or more expansion enclosures to a
control enclosure.

About this task

This task applies if you are installing one or more expansion enclosures. Each
control enclosure in the system can manage two sets of expansion enclosures, with
each set consisting of a maximum of three expansion enclosures. Hence, a system
containing two control enclosures can have up to twelve expansion enclosures.

1
1
1

Each set of expansion enclosures is connected together sequentially through the in
and out SAS ports, forming a chain with a control enclosure at the end of the
chain.

Note: When inserting SAS cables, make sure the connector (Figure 12) is oriented
correctly.

v The blue pull tab must be below the connector.

v Insert the connector gently until it clicks into place. If you feel resistance, the

connector is probably oriented the wrong way. Do not force it.

v When inserted correctly, the connector can only be removed by pulling the tab.

v No more than three expansion enclosures can be chained to port 4 of a node

canister. The expansion enclosures in this chain should be installed above the
control enclosure (as shown in Figure 13).

v No cable can be connected between a port on an left canister and a port on a

right canister.

v Attach cables serially between enclosures; do not skip an enclosure.

v The last enclosure in a chain must not have cables in port 2 of canister 1 and

port 2 of canister 2.

v Ensure that cables are installed in an orderly way to reduce the risk of cable

damage when replaceable units are removed or inserted.

v Arrange your cables to provide access to:

– USB ports. USB port access is required when you use a USB flash drive to

configure the system.

– The enclosures themselves. Access is required to the hardware for servicing

and for safely removing and replacing components using two or more people.

Powering on the system

After installing all hardware components, you must power on the system and
check its status.

About this task

|

Attention: Do not power on the system with any open bays or slots.

v Every unused drive bay must be occupied by a filler panel.

v Filler plates must be installed in all empty canister bays and host interface card

slots.

Open bays or slots disrupt the internal air flow, causing the drives to receive
insufficient cooling.

Procedure

To power on the system, complete the following steps.

|
|
|
|
|

|
|

1. Power on all expansion enclosures by connecting both power supply units of

the enclosure to their power sources, using the supplied power cables. If the
power sources have circuit breakers or switches, ensure that they are turned on.
The enclosure does not have power switches. Repeat this step for each
expansion enclosure in the system.

Note: Each enclosure has two power supply units. To provide power failure
redundancy, connect the two power cords to separate power circuits.

2. Check the LEDs on each expansion canister (see Figure 21).

Figure 21. Expansion canister LEDs

v 1 Power

Chapter 3. Configuring the system

Configuring your system is necessary in two situations: when you power up a new
system for the first time, and when you add an expansion enclosure to an existing
system.

|
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|

|
|

|
|

The following instructions use the supplied USB flash drive to initialize the system.
If you are not authorized to use a USB flash drive in your situation, refer to the
“Troubleshooting” section of the information center for details on how to make an
Ethernet connection to the enclosure and to initialize the system using the service
assistant GUI.

After initializing the system, you will use the Storwize management GUI to
complete the configuration procedures.

v The management GUI requires a supported web browser (see “Web browser

requirements to access the management GUI”).

v To configure a new system, you will log on to the management GUI with the

default user name and password (see “User name and password for system
initialization” on page 28).

The steps for initializing a new system vary, depending on the operating system of
the computer you use for the procedure.

v “Initializing the system with a Microsoft Windows computer” on page 29

v “Initializing the system with an Apple Macintosh computer” on page 31

v “Initializing the system with a Linux computer” on page 33

The steps for adding an expansion enclosure to an existing system are described in
“Adding an expansion enclosure to an existing system” on page 34.

|
|

The steps for adding a control enclosure to an existing system are described in
“Adding a control enclosure to an existing system” on page 34.

Web browser requirements to access the management GUI

You must have a supported Web browser to access the management GUI.

The management GUI supports the following web browsers:

v Mozilla Firefox 23

v Mozilla Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) 17

v Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 8 and 9

v Google Chrome 28

IBM supports higher versions of the browsers as long as the vendors do not
remove or disable functionality that the product relies upon. For browser levels
higher than the versions that are certified with the product, customer support
accepts usage-related and defect-related service requests. As with operating system
and virtualization environments, if IBM support cannot re-create the issue in our
lab, we might ask the client to re-create the problem on a certified browser version
to determine whether a product defect exists. Defects are not accepted for cosmetic
differences between browsers or browser versions that do not affect the functional

© Copyright IBM Corp. 2013 27

behavior of the product. If a problem is identified in the product, defects are
accepted. If a problem is identified with the browser, IBM might investigate
potential solutions or work-arounds that the client can implement until a
permanent solution becomes available.

User name and password for system initialization

During the initialization procedure, you will need to log in to the Storwize
management GUI.

The default user name and password for the management GUI are listed in Table 7.
