Setting Up Your PowerVault Network Attached Storage Solution

Racking Your Solution

WARNING: Before you set up and operate your Dell PowerVault system, review the

safety instructions that came with your system.

Read The Dell Software License Agreement

•

Before using your system, please read the Dell Software License Agreement that came

with the system.

•

If you do not accept the terms of the agreement, please call the customer assistance

telephone number. For customers in the United States, call 800-WWW-DELL

(800-999-3355). For customers outside the United States, visit support.dell.com

and select your country or region from the top of the page.

Verify Package Contents

Verify that all components listed on your packing slip are available. Save all documentation

and accessories.

Locate Your System Service Tag

•

Your system is identified by a unique Express Service Code and Service Tag number.

The Express Service Code and Service Tag are found on the front of the system by

pulling out the information tag.

•

This information is used by Dell to route support calls to the appropriate personnel.

Before You Begin

Turning On The Solution

Verify that your network environment and modular disk storage arrays are powered on.

Turn on the components in the following order:

Dell backup power supply

Dell PowerVault NX3500 controllers

Install The Solution In A Rack

•

The solution requires a properly grounded electrical outlet, a compatible rack,

and a rack installation kit.

•

For information about installing the rails for the PowerVault NX3500 system,

see the Rack Installation Instructions that shipped with your rail kit.

•

For information about installing rails for the backup power supply,

see the Dell PowerVault NX3500 Getting Started Guide.

Installation Guidelines

•

The PowerVault NX3500 hardware configuration consists of two PowerVault NX3500

controller units and one backup power supply (BPS) unit. The BPS is required even

if you have an uninterruptible power supply system in your environment. Install the

three hardware components adjacent to one another in the same rack.

•

You must use twelve Category 5E or Category 6 Ethernet cables with RJ45

connectors.

•

It is recommended that you use a minimum of four network switches.

Preparing Your Environment For The PowerVault NX3500 Solution

IP Chart

The IP chart helps you plan your conﬁ guration. Recording the IP addresses of your

solution in a single location enables you to conﬁ gure your setup faster and more

eﬃ ciently.

Cabling Your Solution

Planning

Proper planning is essential to successfully deploy the PowerVault NX3500 solution. This placemat contains one scenario using two redundant iSCSI networks. If your SAN is configured

in a different configuration, see the Administrator's Guide for additional cabling options. It is recommended that you complete the IP chart in step 4 prior to deploying the solution.

The IP chart is also present in the Administrator's Guide .

Terms Used In The IP Chart

Controller— A server appliance installed with the Dell scalable ﬁ le system software. An

essential component of a PowerVault NAS clustered solution.

Internal IP— IP address used for internal operations between the NAS controllers and the

storage subsystem.

SAN network/iSCSI network— The network that carries the block level (iSCSI) traﬃ c and

to which the storage subsystem is connected. It is recommended that this network be

separated from the client network.

NAS cluster name—The name that is used to identify the PowerVault NX3500

solution.

NAS management VIP—IP addresses that the management stations use to access the

PowerVault NX3500 controllers.

Client access VIP— IP address that clients use to access CIFS shares and NFS exports

hosted by a PowerVault NAS solution. The PowerVault NAS solution supports multiple

client access VIPs.

Preparing The Management Station

•

Connect the management station to the client switch.

•

Verify that IPv6 is enabled.

•

Install the PowerVault Configuration Utility software.

•

Download SSH client for CLI access.

Preparing The Modular Disk Storage Arrays

Create a disk group for each virtual disk.

Create a virtual disk in each disk group. Virtual disks must be created and assigned

to the host group in pairs. A minimum of 2 virtual disks is required and a maximum

of sixteen is supported.

Create a host group. For example, name host group PV-NX3500.

Map the virtual disks to the host group.

Note: Additional conﬁ guration is required after completing the steps in the

PowerVault Conﬁ guration Utility. For more information see step 5.
