Installing the storage subsystem configuration
Before attempting to attach hosts to the storage subsystem, ensure that the host
systems and host bus adapters (HBAs) are installed correctly and updated with the
latest firmware and drivers.
Note: Use the correct HBA firmware and device driver. For the latest supported
HBAs and device drivers, consult the readme that is shipped with the DS3500
controller firmware. See the documentation that is shipped with the HBA for
installation requirements and procedures.
For a SAS attached host, attach a SAS cable to each HBA. Continue with
“Connecting SAS hosts to the DS3500” on page 59 to connect the other end of each
cable to a controller.
