Attention: Ensure that sufcient power supply circuits are available to provide the total power
requirements of the equipment that is connected to each power supply circuit.
Physical installation planning
Before you set up your system environment, you must verify that the prerequisite conditions for the
system are met.
This information applies to the supported hardware components. Answer the following questions before
you start the installation process:
• Does your physical site meet the environment requirements for your system?
• Do you have adequate rack space for your hardware?
The system requires two Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) units for each Model 092 expansion
enclosure.
• Do the power circuits you are planning to use have sufcient capacity and the correct sockets for your
installation?
– A clearly visible and accessible emergency power off switch is required.
– For redundancy, two independent power circuits are required. One circuit connects to each power
supply in each enclosure.
• Have you provided appropriate connectivity by preparing your environment?
Operating environment
To use the system, you must meet the minimum hardware and software requirements and ensure that
the other operating environment criteria are met.
Supported hosts
IBM Spectrum Scale needs to be installed on the host server before it is connected to ESS 5000. IBM
Spectrum Scale provides the high-performance scale-out clustering capabilities. For a list of supported
host type and OS, see the IBM Spectrum Scale Frequently Asked Questions
.
User interfaces
The system provides the following user interfaces:
• The management GUI, which is a web-accessible graphical user interface (GUI) that supports flexible
and rapid access to storage management information. The ESS 5000 GUI also provides a Directed
Maintenance Procedure (DMP) for drive replacement.
• A command-line interface (CLI) that uses Secure Shell (SSH).
