This guide explains how to set up and initialize the EMC® Disk Library DL4106,
where the DL4106 hardware components are rackmounted and cabled, and shipped
from the factory in EMC-supplied 40U-60 cabinets.
Refer to the Services website (http://www.cs.isus.emc.com/csweb2/dgweb/
DiskLibrary/index.htm) or to the Powerlink® website (http://Powerlink.EMC.com)
for the latest EMC Disk Library DL4100, DL4106, DL4200, DL4206, DL 4400, and
DL4406 setup and cabling, and service documentation.
Only an authorized service provider should perform the procedures in this guide.
The Disk Library server (DL server) is also referred to as the DL engine.
Prepare your environment
Make sure the site where you intend to set up the DL4106 Disk Library has the
following:
❒
Adequate network wiring to provide the DL server and each storage-system
storage processor (SP) with a management port Ethernet connection.
❒
Appropriate electrical wiring in place to accommodate the cabinet’s power
cables. For EMC cabinets, see the Site Preparation Guide for CX3-Series Storage
Systems in a 40U-C Cabinet (on the EMC Powerlink website). To support all of the
storage system’s high-availability features, the cabinet must receive power from
at least two discrete circuits.
❒
A host connected to the same network as the storage system to manage and
monitor the storage system. We recommend the following minimum
configuration for the management workstation:
•
Intel compatible 500 MHz computer with at least 512 MB RAM and 50 MB of free
disk space.
•
Video driver resolution set to a minimum of 1024x768 with 256 colors and small
fonts.
•
Network interface controller.
•
US keyboard and pointing device.
•
DB-9 COM port connector.
•
Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP Professional.
•
TCP/IP network connection to each storage processor in the CX3-80 storage
system that the customer will be managing and monitoring.
•
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Standard Edition 1.5.0_06 installed. However,
EMC recommends JRE 1.6.0 due to known performance issues with prior versions
of the JRE. Optimally, other JREs should be uninstalled and there must be only
one JRE installed on the station running the CLARalert® Suite.
•
Web browser software: Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 or greater,
Netscape Navigator version 6.0 or greater, Mozilla 1.1 or greater, or Firefox 1.0 or
greater.
IMPORTANT Updates, service tools and current documentation require
Internet access to a support website.
Step 1 continued
Prepare your environment
❒
A service laptop or customer workstation to initialize the storage system, set up
with the following:
•
Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP Professional. However,
EMC recommends JRE 1.6.0 due to known performance issues with prior versions
of the JRE. Optimally, other JREs should be uninstalled and there must be only
one JRE installed on the station running the CLARalert Suite.
•
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Standard Edition 1.5.0_06 installed.
•
Web browser software: Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 or greater,
Netscape Navigator version 6.0 or greater, Mozilla 1.1 or greater, or Firefox 1.0 or
greater.
•
Navisphere® Storage System Initialization Utility from the CX3-Series Core Server
Support Products CD Version 6.26.X
•
Service providers can download the latest Management UI from the EMC service
website. After you download the Management UI, save it to your desktop.
•

Verify storage-system back-end connections
Use the information below and the illustration on the following page to verify the
bus (loop) cabling between the SPE and the DAE3Ps. Make sure you connect the
back-end cabling between the cabinets.
The illustration depicts a complete DL4106 configuration with three cabinets. The cabinet with
the CX3-80 storage system and the DL engine is in the middle with the first spillover cabinet
on the left, and the second spillover cabinet on the right.
A DL4106 configuration with fewer DAE3Ps looks different from the illustration shown on the
following page.
The CX3-80 SPE2 supports four redundant Fibre Channel back-end buses: 0, 1, 2 and
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 dual-port disk drives.
Each CX3-80 storage processor has four back-end (BE) ports that connect to the
corresponding primary (PRI) ports on the first disk enclosure in each bus. The disk-
array enclosure expansion (EXP) ports connect to the next PRI ports in their loops.
For the system to boot and operate, the first DAE3P – connected to BE 0 on both SPs
– must have enclosure address (EA) 0. A DAE3P with boot disks and the CX3-80
operating system is always assigned enclosure address 0 prior to shipment.
Each DAE3P in a bus requires a unique EA. The first DAE3P has an EA of 0, since it is
the first EA on the bus (bus 0). A second DAE3P (the first on bus 1) also has an EA of
0; a DAE3P connected to BE 2 or BE 3 is also EA 0 on that bus. Numbering
sequentially, the second EA on each bus is 1, the third 2, the fourth 3, and so on.
Step 4 continued

Verify power settings and connections
1.
Verify that the cabinet master (power distribution panel) switches are in the
off position.
2.
Verify that the power switch on each SPS is off.
3.
For high availability, verify that A and B power cords on each enclosure are
connected to different power strips.
4.
Verify that all power connections are correct and fully seated:
•
Standby power supply A (SPS A) connects to the SPS serial port (marked with a
battery symbol) on SP A; SPS B connects to SP B.
•
The AC power cord for power supply (PS) A connects to SPS A, and for PS B
connects to SPS B.
•
The SPSs connect to separate power distribution units (PDUs) in the cabinet.
•
Power/cooling module A in the first DAE3P (EA 0, bus 0) in the system connects
to SPS A, and power/cooling module B in the first DAE3P connects to SPS B.
Subsequent DAE3Ps connect directly to the cabinet’s power distribution units.
Make sure power/cooling modules A and B connect to different PDUs.
5.
Connect the cabinet AC power cables to the power outlets in the customer’s
facility.
Connect the power cables on the right and left side of the cabinet to different
branch circuits. All active power cables must be connected to an appropriate power
source. Connecting to only one power source will degrade the system’s high
availability.

the host from which you will manage the storage system (management host).
Connecting the storage system to a shared management LAN
2.
Connect the Ethernet ports on the DL server, eth2, eth3, eth4, and eth5 to the 10/
100/1000 Ethernet switch in the customer’s environment. These ports (bond0
ports) share an IP address and, therefore, must be on the same subnet. Based on
the customer’s requirement you can connect more than one port, which will
improve throughput.

Step 8 continued
Start the storage system
The storage system may take several minutes to complete powerup. Amber warning
lights will flash during power on self-test (POST) and then go off.
The front fault light and the SPS recharge lights commonly stay on for several minutes while
the SPS units fully charge.
If the amber lights on the front or back of the storage system remain on, make sure
the system is correctly cabled and then refer to the “Troubleshooting” section on the
CX3 series service page on the EMC Powerlink website
(http://Powerlink.EMC.com).
Initialize the storage system
To initialize the storage system, you must configure the management network
interfaces for the storage system’s storage processors (SPs) with the Navisphere
Storage System Initialization Utility.
Requirements for initialization
Make sure you have the following:
❒
FLARE® Operating Environment (OE) software version 03.26.080.5.yyy or higher
installed on the storage system. A card that ships with the storage system
indicates the FLARE version that is installed.
❒
A host on the same subnet as the storage system’s management ports and running
one of the operating systems listed below. This host may also be a server with
Fibre Channel connections to the storage system.
• Windows 2000
• Windows Server 2003
• Windows XP Professional
❒
The completed CDL configuration planning worksheet on page 4 with the following
information:
❒
A static IP address and name for each storage processor in the storage system.
❒
The subnet mask of the LAN to which each storage-system management port and
host is connected.
❒
The default gateway address of the LAN to which each storage-system
management port is connected.
❒
The security settings information which includes storage-system username and
password.
Step 9 continued
Initialize the storage system
❒
The hardware serial number of the storage system, which is located on a label on
the front of the storage system behind the bezel, as shown below:
❒
The CX3-Series Core Server Support Products CD that shipped with the storage
system.
We recommend that you install and run the storage system initialization utility on a host but
you can run this utility from the CX3-Series Core Server Support Products CD.
Install the Navisphere Storage System Initialization Utility
Use the CX3-Series Core Server Support Products CD and install the storage system
initialization utility on a host connected to the same subnet as the storage system.
Run the storage system initialization utility on the management host
After the storage system is fully powered up for the first time, you must run the
Navisphere Storage System Initialization Utility to initialize the storage system.
Initialization sets management network parameters and security for the storage
system so that you can manage it over the LAN.

3.
Read the license agreement, and accept it by clicking I accept and Next.
The utility automatically scans the subnet for storage systems. When the
discovery operation is complete, the utility lists, by hardware serial number (refer
to the picture for the location of the serial number), all uninitialized and
initialized CLARiiON® storage systems that it found. 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.
4.
Select the Disk Library storage system to initialize. In the Uninitialized Systems
list, select the storage system’s serial number and click Next.
Step 9 continued
Initialize the storage system
5.
Use the completed CDL configuration planning worksheet from the step ”Plan
your configuration” on page 4, and enter the following information for the
storage-system management ports:
The storage-system name cannot exceed 32 characters. For example, if the IP address of SP A
is 192.188.121.185, you can enter a name, 4106spA_121_185.
Click Next when you finish.
6.
Initialize security by specifying the following information:
IMPORTANT Make sure you enter the username and password exactly as
specified below. Otherwise, the storage system will not function correctly.
User name: cdlsupport,
Password: wabisabi
Confirm the password, and click Next.
7.
A summary of the storage-system network settings appears.
If the settings are correct, click Finish. The storage system reboots.
8.
A message appears indicating that the storage system has initialized successfully.
Click OK.

Configure the Navisphere domain
Perform the following steps within Navisphere:
1.
Create a Disk Library domain, where you assign the master node (”Creating a
Disk Library domain” on page 20).
2.
Set up a customer account with monitor privileges (”Creating a customer account”
on page 21).
Creating a Disk Library domain
To create or modify a domain, you must be logged in to a global administrator
account. All storage systems that you want to add to (or remove from) the domain
must be running the storage management server software.
Selecting or changing a master node
Before configuring a domain, you should select a master node for it. The master node
(the SP you designate) holds the master copy of all global information in the domain.
This information will be copied to all member nodes in the domain. If there is any
discrepancy between node information, the information on the master is considered
the correct version.
If a master node already exists, and you define a new one, the old master node will be
automatically demoted.
1.
On the computer that has the supported browser and Java Runtime
Environment (JRE), open the browser, and enter the IP address of a storage
system SP.
The software displays a login dialog box that requests your username, password,
and scope (local or global).
2.
Log in using the username cdlsupport, password wabisabi, and scope global.
A message appears indicating that a domain has not been configured for the
storage system. Click OK.
Step 10 continued
Configure the Navisphere domain
3.
The Select Master window displays Master Node IP Address. Click OK to assign
this node as the master node.
Click Yes and OK in the confirmation screens.
Creating a customer account
To add, modify, or delete an account, you must be logged in as an administrator. For
global accounts, you must be logged in as a global administrator. When you create or
modify a global account, all storage systems in the domain should be online, so that
changes can be applied to all of them.
To add a customer account, follow these steps:
1.
In the Enterprise Storage window, select Tools > Security > User
Management. The User Management window opens.
2.
In the User Management window, click Add. The Add User window opens.
3.
In the Add User window, enter the following information:
Username – type monitor in lowercase letters
Role – monitor
Global/Local – global
When you use the global option, the system copies this user account information
to all DL series systems in the domain. This allows a person with knowledge of
this username and password to use the account on any storage system in the
domain. The account will be displayed as a user account on all storage systems in
the domain.
Password – type password in lowercase letters
Confirm the password by typing the password again, and then press ENTER.
4.
Click OK. The software creates the account and the user can now log in to this
domain through an Internet browser using the username, password, and scope
that you specified.
NOTE
You can give the customer the monitor account details but not the
CDL support account details.
Install the Disk Library Console
The management station on which you install the Disk Library Console must have a
LAN port that is connected to the network to which the DL server is connected. This
enables communication between the DL server and the management station.
The Disk Library Console uses TCP port 11576 to communicate with the DL server,
and port 11577 for remote copy operations. If you plan to have the Disk Library
Console and the DL server communicate through a firewall, you must open both
ports.
To install the Disk Library Console:
1.
Insert the EMC Disk Library Console and Software Documentation CD into the
CD-ROM drive. The CD automatically launches a menu screen.
If the CD does not automatically launch a menu screen, navigate to the CD-ROM
drive in an Explorer window, and select the Launch.exe file.
2.
Select Software. A software window is displayed.
3.
Follow the instructions on the Software window to install the Disk Library
Console.
Initialize the DL server
NOTE
Make sure you connect each DL server power cable to a different
power strip to ensure high availability. The DL server should be powered on
before you perform the procedures in this section.
The Disk Library Console communicates with the Disk Library through the Disk
Library server. The DL server in a DL4106 configuration has a factory-specified
default IP address of 192.168.1.2.
For the DL server to be available on the Disk Library Console, the Windows
workstation (running the Disk Library Console) must be able to access the default IP
address subnet 192.168.1.0 of the DL servers. The three methods for doing this are:
•
If the customer will allow reconfiguration of the Windows network properties,
follow the procedure below. This procedure lets you add an IP address to the
Windows workstation network configuration that is on the same subnet as the
default DL server IP address.
a.
Log in to the Windows workstation that is running the Disk Library
Console as a user with administrator privileges.
b.
To add an IP address to a Windows 2000 workstation, select Start >
Settings > Network and Dial-up Connections > Local Area Connection >
Properties > Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) > Properties > Advanced > Add.
The TCP/IP Address window appears.
c.
Enter the IP address and subnet mask; for example, use the IP address
192.168.1.10, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Click OK to close all the open
pop-up windows.
OR
•
If the customer will not allow reconfiguration of the Windows workstation
network properties, use the service laptop with a serial cable connected to the DL
server. Use HyperTerminal or other terminal emulation software with a serial port
at 19.2K baud. Hyper terminal settings are 19.2K Speed/8 Data Bits/1 Stop bit/
Parity None.
a.
Log in as dlroot. Refer to the note below for dlroot login information.
NOTE
Use the username dlroot and password !4CustUse to log in to the
DL server as Hyper terminal. For DL Console login; use username dlroot and
password !4CustUse. Do not share this password with the customer.
Step 12 continued
Initialize the DL server
b.
Type the following commands, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of
the DL server, yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the netmask (typically 255.255.255.0), and
zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz is the default gateway of the DL server (as specified by the
customer). For example:
ifconfig bond0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
route add default gw zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz
These commands change the network settings temporarily; they revert to the default setting
after the DL server reboots.
OR
•
Configure the network settings by connecting a monitor and a keyboard directly
to the DL server:
a.
Log in as dlroot. Refer to the note on page 23 for dlroot login information.
b.
Type the following commands, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of
the DL server, yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the netmask (typically 255.255.255.0), and
zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz is the default gateway of the DL server (as specified by the
customer). For example:
ifconfig bond0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
route add default gw zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz
These commands change the network settings temporarily; they revert to the default setting
after the DL server reboots.
Adding the Disk Library server to the Console
1.
Open the Disk Library Console program.
Step 12 continued
Initialize the DL server
2.
If the Disk Library Console already has an entry for the original DL server, delete
the server entry as follows:
a.
Right-click the DL server and select Disconnect.
b.
Right-click the DL server and select Delete.
3.
Use one of the following methods to add the DL server to the Console:
Before you log in as dlroot, select Tools > Console Options, and clear the Remember
password for session option.
•
Right-click EMC Disk Libraries and select Add.
The EMC Disk Library User Login window opens. Enter the following
information in the appropriate text boxes, and then click OK:
Disk Library Server IP Address – xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where x is the IP address of
the Disk Library server.
User Name and Password – Log in as dlroot. Refer to the note on page 23 for
dlroot login information.
OR
•
Right-click EMC Disk Libraries and select Discover.
Enter the IP address and the subnet mask of the required DL server. The Disk
Library Console locates your DL server, and adds an entry for the DL server
under EMC Disk Libraries.
When you connect for the first time to the DL server from the Disk Library
Console (right-click the DL server and select Connect), background verify
operations will begin on all the Disk Library LUNs.
For background verify to run, the storage system must be available on the
DL server network.
The background verify operations may take couple of hours to complete. Until the
background verify operations have completed, the DL should not be used for performance
testing.
Step 12 continued
Initialize the DL server
Setting up the network configuration for a DL4106
Once the DL server is available on the network, you can set the network
configuration from the Disk Library Console.
1.
Right-click the new DL server.
2.
Select System Maintenance > Network Configuration.

5.
To set the hostname, select System Maintenance > Set Hostname, which opens
the Set Hostname window.
Enter a new hostname and click OK.
Connect the DL server SAN/tape library ports
In a default DL4106 configuration, the DL server FC ports 1, 3, 7, and 11 are available
for storage area network (SAN) connections (target mode).
The DL4106 default configuration also provides four FC ports (4, 5, 8 and 9) for
physical tape library connections (initiator mode, which supports only SAN attached
tape).
Ports 1, 3, 7 and 11 and ports 4, 5, 8 and 9 are flexible-use ports that you can
interchange and use as target ports for SAN connections or initiator ports for
connection to the physical tape libraries.
