This document serves as a Quick Installation Guide for the OceanStor Dorado3000 V3 and Dorado5000 V3 storage systems, specifically version V300R002. It outlines the steps for setting up these next-generation all-flash storage products developed by Huawei, designed to meet the demanding requirements of medium- and large-sized enterprises.
The OceanStor Dorado V3 series storage systems are engineered to deliver superb performance, high efficiency, enhanced data security, excellent scalability, and easy management. These systems are designed to handle a wide range of enterprise storage needs, providing a robust and reliable platform for data storage and access. The guide covers the installation of various models, including Dorado3000 V3, Dorado5000 V3 (NVMe), Dorado5000 V3 (SAS), and Dorado5000 V3 Enhanced Edition (SAS).
The installation process is divided into several key phases: Installation Preparations, Installing Devices, Connecting Cables, Checking Hardware Installation, Powering On the Storage System, Initializing the Storage System, and optionally, Installing Host Software. Each phase includes detailed steps to ensure a smooth and correct setup.
The storage systems support various types of front-end ports for connecting to application servers, including Fibre Channel (8 Gbit/s, 16 Gbit/s, 32 Gbit/s), Ethernet (10GE, 25GE, 40GE, 100GE), FCoE (10 Gbit/s), and InfiniBand (56 Gbit/s), depending on the specific Dorado V3 model. This flexibility allows for integration into diverse network environments and application requirements.
The system also supports optional Dorado NAS units, which can be configured with Dorado5000 V3 (NVMe) and Dorado5000 V3 Enhanced Edition (SAS) in V300R002C10 and later versions. These units provide network-attached storage capabilities, further expanding the system's versatility.
The installation guide emphasizes ease of use and management from the initial setup. It provides clear instructions for planning device installation positions, removing filler panels, determining installation positions using templates, installing guide rails, and mounting storage devices into the cabinet. Optional steps for installing disk modules and filler panels are also included, catering to different deployment scenarios.
Cable connections are meticulously detailed, covering ground cables, disk enclosures, network connections to application servers (both direct and through switches), optional Dorado NAS units, maintenance terminals, and power cables (both AC and DC). The guide provides generic views of cable connections on the controller enclosure, illustrating how different components are interconnected. For instance, it specifies how SAS disk enclosures connect to Dorado5000 V3 (SAS) and Dorado3000 V3/Dorado5000 V3 Enhanced Edition (SAS) models, as well as how NVMe disk enclosures connect to Dorado5000 V3 (NVMe).
The system is designed with redundancy in mind, particularly for power supplies. AC power modules enable connection to two separate power supplies, ensuring high availability and preventing unexpected power failures. Similarly, DC power cable connections are specified with attention to polarity (RTN (+) and NEG (-)) to ensure correct setup.
After hardware installation, the guide walks users through checking device installation and cable connections to verify everything is properly secured and connected. This includes checking for stable device seating, proper screw securing, and full insertion of all cables.
Powering on the storage system involves a specific sequence: external power supplies for disk enclosures first, then controller enclosures and NAS units, followed by power buttons on the devices, switches (if configured), and finally application servers. This controlled power-on sequence is crucial for system stability and preventing malfunctions.
The initialization process involves connecting to the maintenance terminal via a serial port, logging into the CLI using remote login software, changing the management network port IP address, and then accessing OceanStor DeviceManager through a web browser. The DeviceManager provides a wizard for initial configuration, including setting basic information, device time, disk domain, alarm notifications, and importing license files.
The guide incorporates several features and recommendations that contribute to the long-term maintenance and reliability of the storage system.
Safety information is prominently displayed at the beginning, highlighting critical warnings and cautions. This includes instructions on wearing ESD wrist straps and gloves to prevent electrostatic discharge damage, arranging for multiple persons to carry and install enclosures to avoid personal injury, and avoiding operations during stormy weather. These precautions are fundamental for safe and effective maintenance.
During installation, the guide advises recording the slots of controllers and disks if they are removed for easier installation. This prevents system power-on failures that could occur if components are reinserted into incorrect locations. It also recommends covering vacant disk slots with filler panels if disk modules are not fully configured, which helps maintain optimal heat dissipation.
The guide emphasizes the importance of proper grounding for the storage system before powering it on to prevent damage. It also specifies the required amperage for circuit breakers (at least 10 A for AC power and 30 A for DC power for controller enclosures, 18.5 A for disk enclosures) to prevent unexpected power failures.
For checking hardware installation, the guide provides a checklist for both device installation and cable connections, detailing normal and abnormal conditions. This allows for quick identification and rectification of installation issues.
Post-power-on, the guide instructs users to check status indicators on the enclosures. It specifically mentions checking Alarm/Location indicators of disks; a steady red indicator signifies a problem requiring technical support, while all indicators being off means disks are running correctly. This visual feedback is a key maintenance feature for early problem detection.
The initialization process includes changing the default password for the storage system immediately after the first login and periodically thereafter. This practice is crucial for enhancing data security and reducing password leakage risks. The guide also advises ensuring the maintenance terminal is on the same network segment as the management network port's default IP address for successful login to DeviceManager.
For ongoing support, the document provides contact information for Huawei's customer service center, local technical personnel, and the Huawei storage product information self-service platform. It also directs users to the Huawei technical support website for obtaining product documentation, including installation guides, administrator guides, and acceptance test guides, which are essential resources for comprehensive maintenance and troubleshooting.
