Switch documentation For a 1-Gbit switch - LED is green, which indicates that the SP is logged in to the switch port. For a 2-Gbit switch - One of the following: • The left LED is green and the right LED is off, which indicates that a 1-Gbit SP port is logged in to the switch port. • For a DS-xxB2 switch, both LEDs are green, which indicates that a 2-Gbit HBA port is logged in to the switch port. • For a DS-xxM2 switch, the left LED is blue and the right LED is off, which indicates that a 2-Gbit HBA port is logged in to the switch port. ❑ Cable each SP to the LAN connected to the hosts from which you will manage the storage system.

Install the Navisphere Initialization Utility on a
non-AIX
host on the
same
subnet
as the storage-system management ports.
Storage-system setup
guide
Use the Navisphere Initialization Utility to initialize the storage system.
If you have SAN Copy, SnapView, and/or MirrorView software, install their
enablers.

Storage System
Cable
Connect the storage system to the switch or HBA ports.
Storage-system setup
guide.
Checkpoint
- For a SAN, verify the storage-system connections to the
switch by checking the LED(s) for the switch port connected to each SP
port.
For a 1-Gbit switch
- LED is green, which indicates that the SP is logged
in to the switch port.
Switch documentation
For a 2-Gbit switch
- One of the following:
The left LED is green and the right LED is off, which indicates that a
1-Gbit SP port is logged in to the switch port.
For a DS-xxB2 switch, both LEDs are green, which indicates that a
2-Gbit HBA port is logged in to the switch port.
For a DS-xxM2 switch, the left LED is blue and the right LED is off, which
indicates that a 2-Gbit HBA port is logged in to the switch port.
Cable each SP to the LAN connected to the hosts from which you will
manage the storage system.

Set up security
Use Navisphere Manager to define a global administrator and domain (if
not already defined) and any additional users.

Storage System
Set properties
for PowerPath
Use the following Navisphere CLI commands to set the storage system’s
default system type, failover mode, and array commpath values:
navicli -h
hostname
systemtype -config 3
navicli -h
hostname
failovermode 1
navicli -h
hostname
arraycommpath 1
where
hostname
is the IP address or network name of an SP in the storage
system.
Note:
Setting the array commpath property to 1 (enabled) creates LUNZ
devices.

hostname
is the IP address or network name of an SP in the storage
