In the AMW, select the Setup tab, and select the Rename
Storage Array link to name the storage array. You can use up
to 30 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), pound signs (#), and
underscores (_).
Also on the Setup tab, click the Locate Storage Array link to fi nd
the storage array in the cabinet. A white LED blinks on the front of the
selected storage array. Physically label the storage array with its name.
Click the Storage & Copy Services tab to see the storage array’s
confi guration.
If the storage array is not in the Optimal state, click the Needs
Attention link. Follow the steps in the Recovery Guru.
Select the Summary tab, and select Storage Array Profi le.
By clicking the tabs, fi nd the controller fi rmware version, NVSRAM,
ESM fi rmware version, drive product ID, and record them.
Close the storage array profi le.
Perform a basic setup

You must follow the power sequence in the order shown. To establish
power redundancy for trays with two power supplies, use at least two
different power distribution units (PDUs) in the cabinet. Split the power
connections from each tray into the separate PDUs. Then connect the
PDUs to external power receptacles that are on different circuits.
IMPORTANT You must turn on the power to all connected drives
before you turn on the power for the controller-drive tray. Performing
this action makes sure that the controllers recognize each attached
DE6600 drive tray.

Turn on the power
ATTENTION Risk of bodily injury – Each tray has more
than one power cord. To remove all electrical current from
the devices, make sure that all of the power cords are
disconnected from the power source.

Before performing this step, make sure that you have correctly
confi gured the storage array IP addresses as described in the Initial
Confi guration and Software Installation Guide for SANtricity ES
Storage Manager.
Start the SANtricity ES Storage Manager software from your
management station either by typing SMclient and pressing
Enter (UNIX OSs), or by navigating to the directory that contains
the SMclient.exe fi le, typing SMclient and pressing Enter
(Windows OSs). The client software starts and shows the Enterprise
Management Window (EMW).
Select Tools >> Automatic Discovery from the EMW to discover the
storage array.
In the confi guration dialog, click OK to start the automatic discovery.
Click the Devices tab of the EMW to see the storage arrays.
Double-click the storage array that you want to manage. The
associated Array Management Window (AMW) is launched.
NOTE To add a storage array from outside the local subnetwork, use
the manual discovery method. From the EMW, click the Add Storage
Arrays link, and follow the instructions.

Install the other drives in rows from left-to-right, front-to-back, until the
drive drawer is fully populated.
NOTE The maximum number of drives in a standard confi guration
cannot exceed 180. The total number of DE6600 drive trays in a
standard confi guration is 2. The total number of trays in the storage
array (including the controller-drive tray and all of the attached drive
trays) must not exceed 3.
Push the drive drawer all the way back into the drive tray, and close the
levers on each side of the drive drawer.
Continue with the next drive drawer, by repeating step 4.1 through
step 4.6 for each drive drawer in the confi guration.
When all the drives have been installed, attach the front bezel onto the
front of the DE6600 drive tray.

Two types of computers are associated with the storage array.
• Hosts send I/O to the storage array.
• Management stations manage the storage array.
The type of operating system that the management station runs is the
directory that you need to locate on the DVD.
At this time, check the BIOS and device driver versions for your current
Fibre Channel HBA, SAS HBA, or iSCSI Network Interface Card (NIC).
If necessary, update them before proceeding. For HBAs, obtain the
BIOS and device drivers directly from the vendor.
For Microsoft Windows installations,
• Install the StorPort device driver.
• Install the MPIO multi-path driver on the host.
On the SANtricity ES Storage Manager Installation DVD, locate the
appropriate operating system (OS) directory.
• Review the appropriate operating system and device driver
read me fi les included on the SANtricity ES Storage Manager
Installation DVD for additional information.
Launch the SMIA executable fi le. Follow the instructions in the wizard,
and select one of these installation methods:
• For the Management Station designated as a monitor (for
monitoring and sending alert notifi cations), select Management
Station (full installation), and, when prompted, click
Automatically Start Monitor.
• For the Management Station that you will use to manage
the storage array, select Management Station, and, when
prompted, select Do Not Automatically Start the Monitor.
• For all I/O hosts attached to the storage array, select Host and
Do Not Automatically Start the Monitor.
Both management methods are specifi c to the installation steps in
Section 9. This section and those that follow concern confi guration of
the entire storage array.
• In-band management – Managing a storage array by using a
storage management station to send commands through the host
input/output (I/O) connection to the controller.
• Out-of-band management – Managing a storage array by using
a storage management station to send commands through the
Ethernet connections on each controller.

For more information, refer to the “Deciding on the Management
Method” step in the Initial Confi guration and Software Installation
Guide for SANtricity™ ES Storage Manager.
For Out-of-band management, use one of the methods below to
confi gure the controllers for network connectivity:
Without a DHCP server
Connect separate Ethernet cables to each controller.
Manually confi gure the network settings on the controllers, using
the guidelines and procedures from the “Manually Confi guring the
Controllers” step in the Initial Confi guration and Software Installation
Guide for SANtricity ES Storage Manager.
With a DHCP server
Connect separate Ethernet cables to each controller.
Assign static IP addresses to the controllers.
NOTE This method applies only to IPv4 networks.
Stateless Address Autoconfi guration
Connect separate Ethernet cables to each controller.
NOTE This method applies only to IPv6 networks and does not require
either a DHCP server or a router.
Steps to connect one DE6600 drive tray
to an E2660 controller-drive tray:
Starting with the E2660 controller-drive tray, connect the SAS
expansion connector of controller A to one of the SAS IN connectors
on ESM A of the fi rst DE6600 drive tray.
On the E2660 controller-drive tray, connect the SAS expansion
connector of controller B to one of the SAS IN connectors on ESM B
of the fi rst DE6600 drive tray.
Steps to connect a second DE6600 drive tray to
a E2660 controller-drive tray:
Starting with the E2660 controller-drive tray, connect the SAS
expansion connector of controller A to one of the SAS IN connectors
on ESM A of the fi rst DE6600 drive tray.

Turn off all of the Power switches from the rear of the storage array,
and make sure that all of the power cords are connected.
If the main circuit breaker switches in the cabinet are not already
turned on, turn on the circuit breaker switches.
Turn on the Power switch on each power-fan canister in all of the
newly installed drive trays.
Turn on the Power switch on each power-fan canister in the
controller-drive tray.
NOTE When turning off the power to the storage array, perform
the procedure in the reverse order. Turn off the power fi rst to the
E2660 controller-drive tray, and then turn off the power to the DE6600
drive trays.

ATTENTION Potential damage to equipment (Network
Telecommunications Equipment (NEBS) Ethernet cable
installations only) – The intra-building port(s) (Ethernet maintenance
ports) of this equipment is suitable for connection to intra-building
or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of
this equipment must not be metallically connected to interfaces that
connect to the Outside Plant (OSP) or its wiring. These interfaces
are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type
4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation from
the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not
suffi cient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to
OSP wiring.
The cable shall be Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) and must be
grounded at both ends to meet the intra-building lightning
requirements from section 4.6.9.2 of GR-1089-CORE, Issue #5.
5.4
On the E2660 controller-drive tray, connect the SAS expansion
connector of controller B to one of the SAS IN connectors on ESM B
of the second DE6600 drive tray.
On the fi rst DE6600 drive tray, connect the SAS expansion connector
of ESM A to one of the SAS IN connectors on ESM A of the second
DE6600 drive tray.
