RAID Array 8000/ESA12000 Fibre Channel

Storage Subsystem for SGI IRIX

Quick Setup Guide

AA–RFBHA–TE 387398-001

2Quick Setup Guide

In this Quick Setup Guide we tell you how to create an

initial hardware configuration for both the

Compaq

StorageWorks RAID Array 8000 Fibre Channel Storage

Subsystem

and the

Compaq StorageWorks Enterprise

Storage Array 12000 Fibre Channel Storage Subsystem

(the “RA8000/ESA12000 storage subsystem” or the

“storage subsystem”).

To create this configuration you will:

• Install Storage Building Blocks (SBBs) and Program

Cards in the RA8000/ESA12000 storage subsystem

cabinet;

• Install a fibre channel adapter in the server;

• Connect the fibre channel adapter to the storage

subsystem HSG80 controller via a fibre channel hub;

• Connect the StorageWorks Command Console

(SWCC) client PC to the HSG80 controller to act as

a maintenance terminal;

• Turn on the ac power to the storage subsystem;

• Install StorageWorks Software on the SGI server.

EK–SMCPR–UG. A01 (387404-001) for information

about selecting a location.

The instructions for installing and connecting storage

subsystem components are given for the SW370

pedestal, but apply equally to other Compaq cabinet

options.Depending on the storage subsystem you have

ordered, you might have to install the storage subsystem

in a cabinet and connect the cache module to a cache

battery. Refer to the

User’s Guide

for more information.

NOTE

You can find complete instructions for unpacking and

installing the RA8000/ESA12000 storage subsystem in

the User’s Guide and in the RA8000/ESA12000 HSG80

Solution Software V8.3 for SGI IRIX Installation

Install the Fibre Channel Adapter

Compaq StorageWorks RA8000/ESA12000 Fibre Channel Storage Subsystem for SGI IRIX 5

• Connect one end of the SGI Media Interface Adapter

(X–F–OE–KIT) to the SGI fibre channel host adapter;

connect the other end to the fibre channel hub.

• Connect one end of a fibre channel cable to host port

1 on the HSG80 controller; connect the other end to

the fibre channel hub.

Be sure to install a GBIC–SW module on the hub

end of each cable.

The following page illustrates the

adapter-to controller connections

for the four possible configurations:

• single controller, one host adapter

• single controller, two host adapters

• dual controller, one host adapter

• dual controller, two host adapters
