system consists of the DX30 and DX100 device. Both are backup devices based upon high speed disk drives instead of tape drives. The DX30 consists of: · · · · · A single controller and 1 to 4 storage arrays. A single controller and 2 to 16 storage arrays One or two Fibre Channel switches An Ethernet switch Two or more AC power sequencers. [. . . ] The system is ready when all connected ports on the Fibre Channel switch show a green status. If you have already established a HyperTerminal connection with the controller before powering on the controller (see Connecting to the DX-Series Controller), the following text will display: · Checking FC Switch Configuration · Checking Power Sequencer Configuration · Setting Sequencer Configuration · Configuration Updated, Rebooting · Checking FC Switch Configuration · Checking Power Sequencer Configuration 0 Tech Tip: Initially Configuring the DX-Series System 0 Before you can access the web management pages from the DX-Series controller, you must initially configure the system with an IP address and other network information as well as create cartridges on all connected storage arrays. Initially configuring the DX-Series consists of the following steps: · · · · Connecting to the DX-Series Controller Configure Service Options Configuring User Options Creating Cartridges Connecting to the DX-Series Controller To initially configure the DX-Series system: 1 Connect a 9-pin RS-232 null modem cable to the COM port in the leftmost PCI slot the back of the DX-Series controller and to a COM port on the service PC (see figure 52). 0 56 Configuring the DX-Series System Quantum DX-Series System Unpacking and Installation Instructions Document 6513502-02 A01 April 2004 Figure 52 Connecting the Service PC to the DX-Series Controller Serial port DX30 shown 2 Open a HyperTerminal window on the service PC and set the following properties: · · · · · · Baud rate Data bits Parity Stop bits Flow control Emulation 115200 8 none 1 none ANSI Configure Service Options To configure the user options: 1 Press <Enter> to access the command prompt. The system displays the DX-Series Service Menu (see figure 53). 0 Configuring the DX-Series System 57 Quantum DX-Series System Unpacking and Installation Instructions Document 6513502-02 A01 April 2004 Figure 53 DX-Series Service Menu 4 Type 3 and press <Enter>. Note: The serial number insert is in the Read Me First packet attached to the outside of the box. The system prompts you to enter the number of licensed storage arrays. 6 Enter the number of licensed storage arrays and press <Enter>. The service options are saved and will take effect after the next reboot. Continue with Configuring User Options. Configuring User Options To configure user options: 1 Type 4 (see figure 53) and press <Enter> to configure the user options. 0 58 Configuring the DX-Series System Quantum DX-Series System Unpacking and Installation Instructions Document 6513502-02 A01 April 2004 2 The system prompts you enter the following information: · · · · · · · System Hostname System IP Address Network Mask Network Gateway IP Address Network Domain Name Network DNS IP Address Network Link Speed and Duplex Mode All default values are shown in []. Do not use an IP address in the range of 192. 168. xx since that address is reserved for the internal control network among the DX100 controller, Fibre Channel switch, and AC power sequencer. Note: Note: The system displays the information and asks for confirmation. Press <Enter> to display the Service Menu and continue with Creating Cartridges. Creating Cartridges Before you can backup data to the DX-Series system, you must create tape cartridges on the storage array(s). Note: All of the storage arrays must be on before creating cartridges. 0 To create cartridges on the storage array(s): Caution: Creating cartridges will destroy all data on existing storage array cartridges. 1 Select 5 from the Service Menu (see figure 53) to create cartridges. 2 The system warns you that creating cartridges will destroy any existing cartridge data and prompts you to continue. The cartridge creation process asks you to make the following selection: · Type 1 to create cartridges on ALL storage arrays. Configuring the DX-Series System 59 Quantum DX-Series System Unpacking and Installation Instructions Document 6513502-02 A01 April 2004 · Type 2 to create cartridges on a SPECIFIED storage array. If this is an upgrade to an existing system, create cartridges ONLY on the new storage arrays. Caution: · · Type 3 to create cartridges on a specified RAID set. Type 4 to exit create cartridges. 3 The system confirms your choice and asks for verification. Note: The barcode format must be AANNNN, where A is any uppercase alpha-numeric character and N is any single digit (0-9). Barcodes automatically increment. The system indicates partitioning and formatting for each RAID set on the storage arrays. 5 The system asks how you wish to create cartridges, by quantity or capacity: a If you select By quantity, you can create between 1 and 40 cartridges per RAID set. For example, if you select 1 tape cartridge per RAID set, each cartridge has approximately 1. 7 TB (1. 45 TB for the second RAID set) in capacity. If you select By capacity, you choose between 43 and 1700 GB (43 and 1450 for second RAID set) capacity per cartridge. The number of cartridges decreases with higher capacity per cartridge. For example, if you select 43 GB per cartridge, the number of cartridges per RAID set is 40. [. . . ] View or set the domain name server IP address for the DX-Series system. Configuring the SNMP Settings 0 If the customer wishes to use the DX-Series system with a network framework application such as HP OpenView or CA Unicenter, the SNMP configuration must be defined. SNMP is short for Simple Network Management Protocol, a set of protocols for managing complex networks. SNMP works by sending messages, called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of a network. SNMP-compliant devices, called agents, store data about themselves in Configuring the DX-Series System 72 Quantum DX-Series System Unpacking and Installation Instructions Document 6513502-02 A01 April 2004 Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP requesters.
