Overview
This guide explains how to install and initialize a CX4-480 storage system in a
Windows environment. Steps include:
•
Preparing your site, planning the network configuration, and verifying your
environment
•
•
•
Connecting to a client and initializing the system
Readying every server that will connect to the storage system
Verifying the system and failover configurations
If you do not already have a Powerlink® account, we strongly recommend that you
go to http://Powerlink.EMC.com and set one up immediately. The Powerlink
website is your portal to the latest documentation and troubleshooting information,
user-customized documentation specific to your configuration, and utilities and
wizards required for the installation, such as the E-Lab™ Interoperability Navigator
and the Unisphere™ Service Manager, which replaces the Navisphere® Service
Taskbar. Use the search feature to navigate the website.
If you are installing the storage system in an environment other than Windows (such as Linux,
AIX, HP-UX, or Solaris), visit the CLARiiON Tools page or the Technical Documentation
and Advisories sections of the EMC Powerlink website:
http://Powerlink.EMC.com.
1
Preinstall - Step 1
Prepare the site
Verify that your facility has the following:
❒ Adequate network support to provide each storage processor (SP) management
port with a discrete Ethernet connection and IP address.
❒ Appropriate electrical wiring in place to accommodate your installation’s power
cables. To support all of the storage system’s high-availability features, you must
receive power from at least two separate circuits.
Detailed technical specifications for CX4 series systems, including AC power requirements, are
available on Powerlink.
❒ A Windows workstation available on the same subnet as the storage system’s
management ports. You will use this host:
•
To initialize the storage system
•
As a client to launch Unisphere or Navisphere Manager. This client was
formerly referred to as the Navisphere® management station
❒ CAT 5e or better Ethernet LAN cables (one per SP) for storage-system
management connections.
❒ Appropriate input/output cables as recommended by your EMC representative.
2
Preinstall - Step 2
Plan network connections
With your network administrator, determine the IP addresses and network
parameters you plan to use with the storage system, and record the information on
the following worksheet. You must have this information to set up and initialize the
system.
You manage the storage system through a dedicated LAN port on each storage
processor. These ports must share a subnet with the host you use to initialize the
system. After initialization, any host on the same network and with a supported
browser can manage the system through the management ports.
To connect your storage system to an iSCSI network, you need to configure servers
and target storage systems in IP networks that use the iSCSI protocol. EMC supports
a variety of configurations, but recommends discrete networks that are dedicated to
iSCSI data traffic.
Each storage processor has at least two iSCSI ports for connecting the storage system
– either directly or through a network – to network interface cards (NICs) or iSCSI
host bus adapters (HBAs) in a server. The iSCSI data ports on the SPs are often called
targets; ports on NICs and iSCSI HBAs are iSCSI initiators.
In a server with multiple NICs or iSCSI HBAs that are connected directly to the storage
system, or that are on a dedicated iSCSI network, each initiator port must be on a separate
subnet.
Record network information for your system on the worksheet on the next page. Your
network administrator should provide most of this information. For more
information, refer to your configuration planning guide.

Preinstall - Step 3
Verify the environment
Use the E-Lab Interoperability Navigator to make sure that EMC supports all the
installed or intended components of your environment.
Verify the storage-system configuration with the E-Lab
Interoperability Navigator
1. From your web browser, go to the Powerlink site (http://Powerlink.EMC.com/)
and log in.
If you are not registered with Powerlink, you will need to register and create a
username and password. If you purchased your storage system through a reseller,
refer to the reseller’s documentation for an alternate registration method.
2. Select E-Lab Interoperability Navigator from the Tools menu on the right side of
the home page.
3. Select Launch E-Lab Interoperability Navigator, and then select the Wizards tab.
4. For iSCSI, select Native iSCSI in the EMC Support Statement Results on the right
side.
5. For Fibre Channel, select the Storage Array Wizard from the drop-down menu.
a. For each step of the wizard, provide the requested information based on what
you intend to attach to your storage system.
The wizard displays only those options that EMC supports.
Select FC-AL for a direct Fibre Channel connection, or FC-SW for a switch/network connection.
To display fields in the right column of a step, select an item in the left column.
b. After you have entered all the requested information, select Base
Connectivity on the right side of the page to generate a detailed configuration
report.
The report contains important information such as required hot fixes,
available patches, and the supported version of the Microsoft iSCSI initiator.
You should print a copy of the report for later use.
c.
Close the report.
7
Verify the environment
6. Select the SOE and Software Wizard from the drop-down menu on the Wizards
tab.
7. Provide the information that the wizard requests. The wizard generates a report
listing all the PowerPath® versions compatible with your version of FLARE®
software; if your PowerPath version is not listed, you will need to upgrade to a
supported version.
A separate one-sheet document that specifies the version of FLARE software installed on your
CX4-480 shipped with the storage system.
You will install PowerPath (or a PowerPath upgrade) later in this guide. If any
other element of your projected storage-system environment does not comply
with the configuration support detailed by the E-Lab Interoperability Navigator,
correct the invalid configuration before continuing with your storage-system
installation.
8. Repeat Step 5 through Step 7 in this section for every server that will connect,
either directly or through a switch, to your new storage system.
9. Once you have verified that your environment will support the CX4-480 storage
system, continue with the next step.

Install - Step 1
Install the storage-system hardware
Verify your parts
The base CX4-480 system consists of a storage processor enclosure (SPE), at least one
disk-array enclosure (DAE), two standby power supplies (SPS), and associated cables
and hardware.
We strongly recommend that you set up the base installation and confirm its error-free
operation before adding more, optional DAE enclosures.

Install the storage-system hardware in a rack or cabinet
If your storage-system hardware is already installed in a rack or cabinet, skip this
section and go to "Connect the storage-system back-end ports" (page 22).
This section describes how to install CX4-480 storage-system hardware. In general,
you should install hardware starting at the lowest available rack/cabinet space and
work up from there. We recommend placing the SPE directly above the SPS, and the
DAEs directly above the SPE.
For detailed instructions on installing your storage-system hardware, refer to the
EMC Rails and Enclosures CX4 Series Storage Systems Field Installation Guide
(300-007-436) located on the Powerlink website.

Connect the storage-system back-end ports
If your storage system arrived already installed in a cabinet/rack, make any necessary
cabinet-to-cabinet connections. Match the labels on disconnected cables from expansion (EXP)
to empty disk enclosure PRI ports in the next cabinet. Then continue with "Connect power
cables" (page 24).
1. Use SFP-HSSDC2 copper cables to attach slot 0, port 0 on each storage processor
(SP) to the corresponding PRI ports on the enclosure that includes the specially
marked “array software” disks (this should be the first DAE above the SPE).
Orient the HSSDC2 connectors as shown. The connector thumb clip faces up when connecting
to LCC B and down when connecting to LCC A. An audible/tangible click indicates that the
cable is completely seated in the LCC connectors.

Install - Step 6
Initialize and enroll the storage system
If you do not have or do not wish to use internet connectivity to continue the storage-system
installation, you can use the Interactive Installation Guide (IIG) CD to initialize, enroll,
upgrade, and register the system.
To use the IIG, insert the CD in a server connected to the same subnet as your storage system.
From the guide home page, select Installation, and start with step 1, “Initialize the storage
system.”
Use the Unisphere Initialization Utility, which replaces the Navisphere Storage
System Initialization Utility, to configure the management network interfaces for the
storage system’s SPs. Initializing allows you to manage the system over the LAN with
Unisphere or Navisphere software.
After you initialize your system, you can enroll for access to software downloads
such as new software and patches.
Before continuing, make sure that the storage system is powered up, that each SP
power light (rear of enclosure) is steady green, and that no amber lights are blinking.
1. Install the initialization utility.
On a Windows host on the same subnet as the storage system, download the
software:
a. From the Powerlink website, select Support > Software Downloads and
Licensing > Downloads T-Z > Unisphere Server Software.
b. Select the appropriate initialization utility version to download and select the
option to save the software to your server.
c. Double-click the following executable file to start the installation wizard:
UnisphereInitUtil-Win-32-x86-language-version-build.exe where:
language is either en_US, when only the English version is available, or loc,
when the localized versions are available (including English). version and build
are the version number and the build number of the software.
d. Follow the instructions on the installation screens to install the initialization
utility.
30
Initialize and enroll the storage system
If your server is behind a firewall, open the TCP/IP port 2162 (outgoing) and port 2163
(incoming). The initialization utility will not function properly if these ports are not opened.
2. Run the Storage System Initialization Utility on the host.
a. If the utility did not launch automatically after installation, select
Start > Programs > EMC > Unisphere Initialization from the toolbar.
b. The utility automatically scans the subnet for storage systems. Uninitialized
systems are identified by hardware serial number. (You recorded your
hardware serial number on the worksheet in "Preinstall - Step 2 Plan network
connections" on page 3.)
If the discovery operation did not find the storage system that you are installing, verify that the
storage system’s management ports are properly cabled to the LAN on which the host resides. The
storage system and host must both reside on the same subnet.
c. From the Uninitialized Systems list, select the serial number of the storage
system to initialize and click Next.
d. Use your completed worksheets to provide all the information the utility
requests.
When finished, the utility boots the storage system.
3. Go to http:Powerlink.emc.com to gain access to software downloads. Choose
Home > Support > Product and Diagnostic Tools > CLARiiON Tools > Register
and enter your storage system serial number.

Install - Step 7
Power up and cable optional DAEs
This step describes how to add DAE hardware to a newly initialized CX4-480 storage
system. It assumes you have already installed your rails and enclosure hardware in a
cabinet or rack, and have just completed setting up an SPE, SPS, DAE-OS, and the
first DAE on each back-end bus according to the instructions in steps 1 and 2 of this
guide. To complete the installation of optional DAEs, you must:
•
•
•
Connect the DAEs to active AC power
Assign a unique enclosure address to each DAE
Connect the DAEs to the system back-end buses
If your system was installed in a cabinet or rack prior to shipment, skip this step and go
directly to page 41.
Connecting AC power
The DAEs will power up immediately once you attach them to an active AC power source.
1. Plug an AC power cord into each DAE power/cooling module, as shown below.
Make certain you secure the power cord with the retention bails (strain reliefs) at each
connector. The strain reliefs prevent the power cord from pulling out of the connections.

Plugging in AC line cords
2. Connect the DAE power cords to an appropriate power source.
In most cases, you should connect each power cord to the closest power
distribution unit (PDU) in a cabinet. For example, connect power/cooling module
A to the right PDU, and power/cooling module B to the PDU on the left (facing
the rear of the cabinet).
The A side and B side PDUs should be connected to separate power feed circuits.
Then if power to one PDU fails, the storage-system enclosures connected to it will
continue to run.

3. If the power distribution units in your rack or cabinet are not active, turn on AC
power now.

Connecting CX4-480 power cords

Setting the DAE enclosure addresses
You must set the enclosure address (EA) when power is on and the enclosure is not part of a
back-end bus; you cannot change the EA while the back end is connected.
Addressing overview
You add DAEs to a CX4 series storage system along Fibre Channel back-end buses
that start at I/O modules in the SPE. Each disk enclosure in a bus must have a unique
enclosure address (also called an EA, or enclosure ID) that identifies the enclosure
and determines disk module IDs.
Every DAE that is not preinstalled in a cabinet before shipment has a default
enclosure address of 0. DAEs directly connected to the SPE retain EA 0; subsequent
DAEs connected together in a back-end bus should have incremental EAs of 1, 2, 3
and so on.
The CX4-480 SPE supports four redundant Fibre Channel back-end buses: 0, 1, 2, 3
from SP A, and 0, 1, 2, and 3 from SP B. On each bus the two independent loops from
SP A and SP B are paired, and share access to the same disk drives. If a problem
occurs on one loop, the bus can remain active through the other loop.
The CX4-480 can support 120 disks, or a maximum of eight disk-array enclosures on
each back-end bus for a total of 480 disks.
Addressing rules
For the system to boot and operate, the first DAE — connected to port 0, slot 0 on both
SPs — must have enclosure address (EA) 0. A DAE with boot disks and the CX4-480
operating system is always assigned enclosure address 0 prior to shipment.
Optimize your system by using all available back-end buses, and spreading the DAEs
as evenly as possible across them. We recommend that you complete each bus with
contiguous enclosures.
35
Setting the addresses
Follow these steps to set enclosure addresses on your DAEs:
Bus ID

1. Verify that the first DAE, connected to the SPS and containing the storage-system
software disks, is set as enclosure address 0. The address is indicated by the LED
next to the enclosure # symbol, as shown below.

Setting the enclosure addresses
2. Verify that other DAEs directly connected to BE ports in your SPE also have
enclosure address 0,and that each EA 0 has a different bus ID.
3. On each remaining DAE in your system, change the enclosure address from 0 to
the desired value. Use a tool such as a pen, paper clip, or small screwdriver to
press the selection button; each button press increments the value. Valid enclosure
addresses are 1-7.
You can set the EA on either link control card (LCC) in the DAE. The second LCC will automatically
change to the new value.
The following figure shows valid EA assignments for a fully configured CX4-480
storage system.

Connecting back-end buses
Attach your DAEs in a back-end bus after you have set the enclosure addresses.
Verify that each DAE has a unique bus/enclosure address, and that the first disk
enclosure on each bus (the one that directly connects to the SPE) is EA 0.
1. Connect an HSSDC2-HSSDC2 cable from the expansion (EXP) port on link control
card (LCC) A in DAE EA 0/bus 0 to the primary (PRI) port on LCC A of EA 1.
(LCC A connectors are on the right side of the DAE as you face the enclosure rear.)
Make sure to orient the HSSDC2 connectors as shown below. The connector thumb clip faces
up when connecting to LCC B, and down when connecting to LCC A. An audible/tangible
click indicates that the cable is completely seated in the LCC connector.

2. Continuing on the right (A) side, connect EXP to PRI ports, in sequence, on each
DAE.
•
•
Make sure not to connect an EXP port to another EXP port, or PRI to PRI.
Take care not to connect any A-side ports to LCC B ports.
38
Use 1-meter cables to connect contiguous enclosures. Use longer cables to skip over enclosures
or to connect DAEs between cabinets.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the LCC B (left) side of bus 0.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the three remaining buses.
5. Apply cable label bands (provided with your system) to identify the bus number
for each back-end cable.
CL4157
The configuration example below shows a CX4-480 with eight DAE disk-array
enclosures on each of four back-end buses.
Each device in the example connects to the Primary disk enclosure connectors of
the device above it, and subsequent enclosures connect in an expansion-toprimary chain. Note also that each device supports two completely independent
and redundant loops, A and B.

Install - Step 8
Update software
Your storage system shipped from the factory with the latest version of FLARE
software available at that time. Use the Software Assistant wizard to determine
whether you need to install a FLARE operating environment (OE) patch. If you
purchased optional SnapView™, MirrorView™, or SAN Copy™ software, use the
wizard to install enabler software for those products.
The Software Assistant wizard is part of the Unisphere Service Manager, which
replaces the Navisphere Service Taskbar.
Install the Unisphere Service Manager
1. Download the Unisphere Service Manager (USM) from the Powerlink CLARiiON
Tools page for your storage system.
a. On the CLARiiON Tools page on the Powerlink website, select your
CLARiiON system.
b. Select Unisphere Service Manager and select the option to save the software
to your host or client.
c. In the folder where you saved the USM, double-click the executable file, and if
necessary, click Run to start the installation wizard.
d. Follow the instructions that appear.
e. After you accept the license agreement, the wizard verifies that the server is
running the supported Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version.
•
If the server is running an earlier version of the JRE, select Yes when asked
if you want to continue with the installation. The installation wizard
prompts you to download and install the later version of the JRE from the
Sun website.
•
If the server is running a later version of the JRE, the installation wizard
asks if you want to continue with the installation. Select Yes to continue or
No to quit the installation.
If you select Yes, the USM may not work properly with a later JRE version. If you select No,
and manually remove the later version of the JRE, other applications that require this version
may not work properly.
2. When the installation is complete, click Done.
41
Update software
Installing a FLARE OE patch or software enabler
1. Start the Unisphere Service Manager.
2. Log in to your storage system.
3. Select Software > System Software, and then click Prepare for Installation (Step
1).
4. In the welcome page, select Download software only. The wizard determines the
revision of software installed on the system and notifies you of any required
patches or newer releases.
5. Select and download any software that you want to install, and click Finish.
6. Select Install Software to install any patches or software that you downloaded in
the previous step, and to install any enablers that you ordered with your system.
7. Once you have checked for updates and installed software, proceed to the next
step.
42
Install - Step 9
Register your storage system
The Storage System Registration Wizard sends site and configuration information to
your service provider. We strongly recommend that you run the wizard now as
follows:
1. Verify that the client is connected to both the storage system and to the Internet.
2. If the Unisphere Service Manager (USM) is not open, start it now. After logging in
to your system, select the Registration tab and click Register Storage System to
start the Storage System Registration Wizard.
3. Follow the wizard prompts to complete the registration.
Install - Step 10
What next?
We recommend that you set up either the iSCSI or the Fibre Channel environment
and confirm its error-free operation before setting up the second environment.
•
The first set of instructions, beginning on the next page, describes how to
install the storage system in an iSCSI environment.
•
The second set of instructions, beginning on page 54, describes how to
install the storage system in a Fibre Channel environment.
43
Install - Step 11
Prepare the servers
Prepare each server that you will connect (directly or through a network or router) to
the storage-system data ports.
A
Install NICs, HBAs, drivers, and required patches
On each server, install NICs, iSCSI HBAs, the appropriate drivers, and any
required driver updates (such as service packs, hot fixes, or patches). Make sure to
compare your server software with the requirements listed in the ESM report you

Install - Step 14
Configure and register iSCSI connections
Configure an iSNS client on the storage system - Windows only
If your system uses an iSNS server, you must configure the iSNS client on the
storage system with Unisphere or Navisphere Manager.
•
For Unisphere - Select All Systems > System List, and select a storage system for
which you want to establish an iSNS connection. From the System view, select
iSNS.
•
For Navisphere Manager - In the Storage tree, right-click the icon for the storage
system for which you want to establish an iSNS connection, click iSCSI and then
click iSNS.
Configure iSCSI connections and register the server
Configure the logical connections between iSCSI initiator ports on each attached
server and the storage system’s iSCSI data ports (targets).
Network Interface Cards (NICs) use the Unisphere Server Utility to configure
connections; iSCSI host bus adapters use the QLogic SANsurfer utility.
For NICs
On each server that connects to the storage system with a NIC:
1. Open the Unisphere Server Utility:
Start > Programs > EMC > Unisphere > Unisphere Server Utility or Start > All
Programs > EMC > Unisphere > Unisphere Server Utility
2. Select Configure iSCSI Connections on this server and click Next.
3. Select Configure iSCSI Connections and click Next.
51
4. In the iSCSI Targets and Connections window, select one of the following, as
appropriate, to discover available iSCSI target ports.
•
Discover iSCSI targets on this subnet - Scans the current subnet for all
connected iSCSI storage-system targets. The utility scans the subnet in the
range from 1 to 255. For example, if the current subnet is 10.12.77, the utility
will scan the IP addresses from 10.12.77.1 to 10.12.77.255.
•
Discover iSCSI targets for this target portal - Discovers targets known to the
specified iSCSI SP data port. Use a specific target IP from your Network
Connections worksheet.
•
Discover iSCSI targets using this iSNS server to send a request to the iSNS
server for all registered iSCSI storage-system targets.
5. Click Next. The utility scans for iSCSI target ports and displays the IP address for
each target it discovers.
6. In the iSCSI Targets window, select the IP address of an Inactive target. The
addresses match those from your Network Connections worksheet and as
assigned by the initialization utility in "Initialize and enroll the storage system" on
page 30.
7. Under Login Options, select Also login to peer iSCSI target for High
Availability (recommended) if the peer iSCSI target is listed. This allows the
utility to create a login connection to the peer target so that data would continue
to the peer target if the target you selected above becomes unavailable.
8. If you selected Also login to peer iSCSI target for High Availability
(recommended) in the previous step, leave the Server Network Adapter IP set to
Default. This allows the iSCSI initiator to automatically fail over to an available
NIC in the event of a failure.
If multiple NICs are on the same subnet and you leave the Server Network Adapter IP option set to
Default, only one NIC is actually used at a time. Other NICs are in standby mode. If you leave the
Server Network Adapter IP option set to Default and a NIC fails, the server will use one of the other
NICs, even if they are on the same subnet, as long as there is a network path from the storage system
to the NIC that is in standby mode.
If you are an advanced user and you want to control which network or subnet is used, you can select
a server network adapter IP address from the drop-down list. Note that failover may not occur if
you do not have the appropriate failover software.
52
9. Click Logon to connect to the selected target. Click OK.
10. Repeat steps 6 – 9 for any other target to which you want to log in.
11. Click Next. The Server Registration window opens and lists all connected storage
systems. Make certain that a path is shown for each connection. If paths are
missing, ensure that you are logged in to the expected targets.
12. In the Server Registration window, click Next to send the updated information to
the storage system and register the server with all connected storage systems. The
wizard displays a success message.
13. Click Finish to close the wizard.
For iSCSI HBAs
On each server that connects to the storage system with a QLogic iSCSI HBA:
1. Open QLogic SANsurfer and configure Target Settings for your server as
described in the QLogic documentation.
2. Start the Unisphere Server Utility:
3. Select Register this server to all connected storage systems, and click Next.
4. Click Next to send the server information to the storage system.
5. Click Finish to exit the utility.
The utility sends the initiator records for the HBA initiators in the server to each storage
system that is connected to the server.
53
Install - Step 15
Set up Fibre Channel switches
If your configuration includes Fibre Channel switches, install or upgrade any switch
software or patches on those connected to the storage system and the servers. (If your
configuration does not include a switch, skip this step.)
Install the switch and set the switch's IP address. For instructions, use the installation
manuals that shipped with the switch or that are available on the switch vendor’s
website. The next section will guide you through cabling and zoning your switch.
54
Install - Step 16
Connect Fibre Channel data ports
Use fiber-optic cables to connect the storage-system fibre data ports to the server.
1. Plug the cables into the Fibre Channel front-end ports.
2. Connect the free end of each fiber-optic cable:
•
For a direct configuration between storage system and server, connect the
cables to Fibre Channel HBA ports.
•
For a switch configuration between storage system and server, connect the
cables to Fibre Channel switch ports as shown in the example below.
For high availability:
connect each HBA to at least one data port on each storage processor, or

Install - Step 18
Verify the high-availability configuration
Verify your high-availability configuration
Use the server high-availability feature in the Unisphere Server Utility to verify that
your configuration is highly available (each HBA has at least one active path to each
storage processor), and that path management software, such as PowerPath, is
installed and running.
On each server that you plan to connect to the storage system:
1. Start the Unisphere Server Utility.
2. Select Verify Server High-Availability to generate a report of the host’s
environment.
3. Select the Validate Server Configuration Only option.
4. Review and correct any issues reported under the Issues tab of the generated
report.

Next steps
Start Unisphere or Navisphere Manager by entering the storage system’s
management port IP address in a supported browser. Use the online help to do the
following:
1. Set up a domain.
The first time you log in to the storage system, you will be prompted to add the
storage system to a domain. If this is the first storage system, create a new
domain. If you have additional storage systems, you can create a new domain or
add this system to an existing domain.
2. Configure cache settings.
3. Allocate storage to servers.
a. Use the Provision Wizard to create RAID groups and LUNs, and present them
to the servers.
b. Make the LUNs visible to the servers.
If your system will include enterprise flash drives (solid state disk drives with flash memory, or SSD
drives), be sure to carefully plan your configuration using the Best Practices, Applied Technology,
and planning documentation available on EMC Powerlink: Home > Products > Hardware/
Platforms > CLARiiON CX4 Series > White Papers.
4. Configure event notification.
