4.8 Preparing the DS5000 storage subsystem
This section explains how to configure the DS5000 storage subsystem. This includes:
Physical installation
Powering on the storage system
Configuring IP addresses on the DS5000 storage subsystem
Initializing the Storage Manager client
Updating the controller microcode
Updating the drive and ESM microcode
4.8.1 Physical installation
You should have already completed the physical installation of your DS5000 storage
subsystem hardware. See the installation, user's, and maintenance guides for your specific
IBM System Storage DS5000 for specific instructions.
Take note of the order in which you install the expansion enclosures. Once the Storage
Manager software is installed, it is important than the representation in the software interface
matches the current disposition of the expansions in the rack.
Follow the recommendations on cabling the expansion enclosures to the storage subsystem
controllers, to allow an optimization of the drive channel paths, and consider any plans for
future expansions.
