• Move the rack.
• Stabilize the rack.
• Inspect the storage system.
• Install the controller cache batteries.
• Apply power.
• Attach the controllers to the fabric.
Entering data using the OCP
Two pieces of data critical to initial setup must be entered into the OCP:
• WWN—Mandatory to complete setup.
• Storage system password—Optional. A password is a security interlock that allows only specific
instances of Command View EVA to access the storage system.
Setting up a controller pair using the OCP
Fibre Channel protocol requires that each controller pair has a unique Node WWN. This 16-character
alphanumeric name identifies the controller pair on the storage system. The Enterprise Virtual Array
World Wide Name Label identifies the WWN for each storage system. The Node WWN labels, similar
to the one shown in Figure 11 , identify the storage system WWN and checksum. During the installation of
the storage system, two WWN labels are attached to the rack on both sides of the controller enclosures.

Figure 11 Sample node WWN label
NOTE:
The controller pair WWN is unique to a controller pair and cannot be used for any other controller pair
or device anywhere on the network. Figure 12 shows the location of the WWN label on a controller pair.
This is the only WWN applicable to any controller installed in a specific physical location, even a
replacement controller.
Once a WWN is assigned to a controller, you cannot change the WWN while the controller is part
of the same storage system.
