Chapter 4 Installing the Level 2R Storage System
Setting up the L2 RAID chassis
Do the following to prepare the L2 RAID storage devices:
• Install the chassis in its permanent location. Refer to the L2 RAID Instruction
Manual for rack mount instructions.
• “Assign Fibre Channel address ID” on page 109 .
• “Connect the L2 RAID chassis” on page 109
• “Assign chassis address on Expansion chassis” on page 110 .
• “Power on the L2 RAID chassis” on page 112
In addition, you will configure network settings, SNMP settings, and bind LUNs.
These tasks are part of the K2 System Configuration application and Storage Utility
procedures later in this chapter. The process of binding LUNs can take a significant
amount of time—as much as eight hours—so you might want to put priority on the
tasks necessary to start the LUN binding process, then catch up with other tasks while
the LUNs are binding.
Also refer to “K2 Level 2 RAID storage description” on page 303 .
