Chapter 1. Before you begin the installation
This topic contains a set of instructions to help you plan your installation.
The Quick Installation Guide contains a set of instructions to help you unpack and
install your system. The guide is divided into three chapters. The steps in the first
chapter involve verifying your order, becoming familiar with the hardware
component terminology, and ensuring that you have met the environmental
requirements. The steps in the second chapter involve installing the hardware and
attaching the data cables and power cords. The final chapter helps you configure
the file modules and control enclosures. It ends with enabling the Tivoli Assist
On-site support program.
Occasionally you are referred to topics in the Storwize V7000 Unified Information
Center. A copy of the Storwize V7000 Unified Information Center is on the CD that
is included in your shipping order.
Important information:
1. You must first work through the planning information regarding your physical
environment and logical network in the Storwize V7000 Unified Information
Center.
2. Ensure that you have available any cables that you are supplying.
3. Pay attention to any flyers that were shipped with your shipping order.
4. Check the IBM support home page http://www.ibm.com/storage/support/
storwize/v7000/unified for any information revenant to planning, installing
and configuring a Storwize V7000 Unified system.
5. The Initial setup e-Learning module is available on the IBM Storwize V7000
Unified Information Center. Refer to Initial set up, located under Learning and
tutorials.
6. You should use the management GUI to update to the latest Storwize V7000
Unified software immediately after completing the initial configuration.
7. Event notifications and call homes from the Storwize V7000 storage enclosures
are done by e-mail. The IP address of an e-mail server which can access the
internet is required. Call home from a file module is done by electronic
customer care (ecc) using ssh. This requires a proxy server to access the internet
or your firewall must be made to allow each file module service IP address to
ssh to the IBM call home IP addresses (*.ibm.com) on the internet.
