Configuration Planning Tasks 6 Task 18: Complete Planning Checklists As a guide for planning tasks, complete the planning checklists under this task. Checklists provide detailed planning activities and provide space for a planned completion date for each activity. The customer's management information system (MIS) project manager should examine the checklists and determine the personnel and resources required for completing planning and installation tasks. Customer personnel might be used from the following functional areas: • Systems programming personnel to update input/output (I/O) definitions to identify directors, fabric switches, and SAN routers. • Ethernet management personnel to obtain IP addresses, gateway addresses, and subnet masks for directors, fabric switches, SAN routers, and the management server; and a DNS host name for the server. • Facilities planning personnel to outline the facility floor plan and to arrange for electrical wiring, receptacles and telephone lines. • Installation planning personnel to determine fiber-optic and Ethernet cabling requirements, routing requirements, and to plan connectivity between directors, fabric switches, SAN routers, and attached devices. • Trainers to determine training and education needs for operations, administration, and maintenance personnel. • Administrators to determine director port names and WWN nicknames, identify attached devices, and assign password levels and user names for director, fabric switch, and SAN router access.
