To receive product support notifications from IBM, you must register your product. To register your product, click Register at the following Web site: www.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/ brandmain?brandind=5345868 | 2. Optionally, check for an updated version of the SAN Volume Controller CIM | agent and GUI software. | For the latest information, click Install/use, and then click the link for the | appropriate recommended software level from the following Web site: | www.ibm.com/storage/support/2145 | Additionally, preinstalled software on the SSPC console might need to be | updated to fully support the latest level of SAN Volume Controller. For the | latest information, go to the following Web site: | www.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/software/sspc 3. Configure the IBM System Storage Productivity Center. In the IBM System Storage Productivity Center User's Guide, the chapter about configuring the SSPC for the SAN Volume Controller describes the procedures for configuring the server and accessing the SAN Volume Controller Console and command-line interface (CLI). This chapter also describes how to use the PuTTY client to generate secure shell (SSH) key pairs that secure data flow between the SAN Volume Controller cluster configuration node and a client. 4. Create a SAN Volume Controller cluster. Chapter 4 of the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Software Installation and Configuration Guide describes this procedure, which is completed in two phases: a. Use the Create Cluster option on the front panel of one of the SAN Volume Controller nodes that you have installed to create the cluster. This procedure is usually performed by an IBM representative or IBM Business Partner using information that the customer provides. b. Use the Add a Cluster function from the SAN Volume Controller Console. 5. Complete the initial SAN Volume Controller configuration. | After you create the SAN Volume Controller cluster, you must perform the | configuration procedures that are needed to meet your requirements. You can | perform these procedures in stages; for example, add nodes to a cluster, set | cluster date and time, and set license features immediately. Later, after your | applications are tested and migrated to SAN Volume Controller, create host | definitions, assign managed disks (MDisks) to MDisk groups, and set up | virtual disks (VDisks) and assign them to hosts. | You can also set up error and event notifications, including Call Home e-mails, | to immediately notify you and the IBM Support Center if critical problems | occur. The following chapters include procedures for these tasks: v Chapter 5 of the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Software Installation and Configuration Guide describes how to perform these steps using the SAN Volume Controller Console. v Chapter 6 of the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Software Installation and Configuration Guide describes how to perform these steps using the CLI.

cluster.
Chapter
4
of
the
IBM
System
Storage
SAN
Volume
Controller
Software
Installation
and
Configuration
Guide
describes
this
procedure,
which
is
completed

phases:
a.
Use
the
Create
Cluster
option
on
the
front
panel
of
one
of
the
SAN
Volume
Controller
nodes
that
you
have
installed
to
create
the
cluster.
This
procedure
is
usually
performed
by
an
IBM
representative
or
IBM
Business
Partner
using
information
that
the
customer
provides.
b.
Use

add
nodes
to
a
cluster,
set
cluster
date
and
time,
and
set
license
features
immediately.
Later,
after
your
applications
are
tested
and
migrated
to
SAN
Volume
Controller,
create
host
definitions,
assign
managed
disks
(MDisks)
to
MDisk
groups,
and
set
up
virtual
disks
(VDisks)
and
assign
them
to
hosts.
You
can
also
set
up
error
and
event
notifications,
including
Call
Home
e-mails,
to
immediately
notify
you
and
the
