Notes

Note the following issues when connecting the ETERNUS DX to a server.

3.1

Before turning the server on, check that the ETERNUS DX storage systems and Fibre Channel switches are all

"Ready". If the server is turned on and they are not "Ready", the server will not be able to recognize the

ETERNUS DX storage systems.

Also, when the ETERNUS DX power supply is being controlled by a connected server, make sure that the

ETERNUS DX does not shut down before the connected servers. Similarly, the Fibre Channel switches must

also be turned off after the connected servers have been shut down. If turned off, data writes from the run-

ning server cannot be saved to the ETERNUS DX storage systems, and already saved data may also be affec-

ted.

3.2

The instance management table is a worksheet that helps make installation, setting up and maintenance of

a system easy.

It is important that the system details be recorded after first installing the system and also each time the

system is subsequently modified, expanded, or has maintenance work performed on it. Creating a WWN in-

stance management table makes installation and maintenance of the system easy. Use the template in-

stance management tables provided in the "Various Management Table Templates" appendix of the "FUJITSU

Storage ETERNUS DX Configuration Guide -Server Connection- (Fibre Channel) for Oracle Solaris Driver Set-

tings" for type of Fibre Channel cards being used.

3.3

The system design sheet is a spreadsheet program work sheet that is used to simplify the process of instal-

ling the ETERNUS DX. It is important that the system details be recorded after first installing the system and

also each time the system is subsequently modified, expanded, or has maintenance work performed on it.

Creating a system design sheet makes installation and maintenance of the system easy.
