c. Press the left or right button until the required language is displayed.
d. Press the select button.
When the battery is fully charged–if it needed to be charged–the Charging message
is replaced by Cluster: and the progress bar no longer displays. The installation of
the SAN Volume Controller hardware is now complete. No software installation is
required. Continue with the instructions in the IBM System Storage SAN Volume
Controller: Software Installation and Configuration Guide to, if necessary, create a new
SAN Volume Controller cluster and to add the nodes into a SAN Volume
Controller cluster.
Installing the hardware master console
If the master console hardware product option is included with the SAN Volume
Controller, you must install it and perform initial hardware configuration for it.
Before you begin the installation, ensure that you have completed the following
tasks:
v Important: Review and complete all of the safety checks that are detailed in the
documentation for the master console IBM eServer xSeries hardware, the
keyboard, and the display.
v Ensure that you have all the customer-completed information that you need,
including the configuration data table, hardware location chart, and the cable
connection table, which are provided at http://www.ibm.com/storage/support/
2145.
The IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller: Planning Guide provides
guidelines for completing these tables and charts.
If
you experience a problem with your master console, use the 2145 machine type
and the serial number of the SAN Volume Controller node that was installed with
the master console to open a hardware problem.
Perform the following steps to install the master console hardware option:
Note: Do not install the pull-out monitor and keyboard of the master console
directly below a SAN Volume Controller node. The front panel of the node
protrudes beyond the front of the rack and overlaps part of the monitor,
which prevents you from being able to open it.
1. Install the master console hardware in the rack, following the hardware
installation instructions that are provided by your xSeries Installation Guide
and by the instructions that are provided with the mounting rails.
If there are any devices directly above and below the master console server
unit, it might be very difficult to reach in and connect the cables to the back of
the server after it is placed in the rack. If that is the only slot available, connect
the keyboard, mouse, monitor, and Ethernet cables at the back of the master
console server before installing it in the rack. Leave the other end of the
Ethernet cable disconnected from the network until you are directed to connect
it.
Important:
Do not follow any software installation procedures in the xSeries
Installation Guide.
2. Ensure that no cables are connected to the Ethernet ports.
3. Turn on the master console.
a. Type administrator in the User ID field.
