6-2 Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual • May 2004
Subsequent chapters in this manual describe further procedures used to complete
the installation and configuration of the arrays. The flexible architecture of the Sun
StorEdge 3510 and 3511 FC arrays makes many configurations possible.
6.1 Initial Configuration Steps
The topics in this section present both required and commonly used optional
procedures, which typically apply to both the point-to-point and loop mode
configurations.
Note – If you want to create logical volumes, refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family
RAID Firmware User’s Guide. Logical volumes are not widely used because they limit
the number of available LUNs.
Configuration of a Sun StorEdge 3510 or 3511 FC array involves using firmware
menus to change settings on the array. However, each host platform requires some
initial configuration as well. Refer to the appendix for your host platform for
instructions on how to connect your host to an array, for host-specific instructions on
recognizing and formatting LUNs including modifying host configuration files, and
for other platform-specific details.
6.1.1 Viewing the Initial Firmware Window
The following window is displayed when you first access the RAID controller
firmware of a RAID array which is powered up.
For detailed information about all components in the initial window, see the Sun
StorEdge 3000 Family RAID Firmware User’s Guide. For battery charging status in the
initial window, see “Battery Status” on page 8-2.
