Chapter 2 Installing the Level 1 Storage System
• Set up VLANs on the switch. Refer to “Configuring the GigE switch via the Web
interface” on page 31 .
• Install the switch in its permanent location.
• Provide power to the switch.
• Connect cables as follows:
To the media ports make one connection from each K2 Media Client or other iSCSI
client and two connections (iSCSI) from the RAID storage chassis.
To the control ports make one connection from each K2 Media Client or other
iSCSI client, two connections (control and FTP) from the Level 1 chassis, and one
connection from the control point PC.
Refer to “Level 1 system description” on page 26 for a diagram of the complete
system.
Refer to cabling procedures later in this chapter for the GigE connections at each of
the devices of the K2 Storage System.
Also refer to “K2 Ethernet switch description” on page 299 and “Design
considerations for Ethernet switches” on page 376 .
Configuring the GigE switch via serial connection
Use a direct console connection to the switch, start a console session, and access the
Switch Setup screen to set the IP address. The following procedure is for the HP
ProCurve switch, which is required for iSCSI traffic. If you are using a non-HP switch
for non-iSCSI traffic, accomplish the same tasks as appropriate. Consult the
documentation that came with the switch for more information.
1. Configure the PC terminal emulator on the control point PC or another PC as a
DEC VT-100 (ANSI) terminal or use a VT-100 terminal, and configure either one
to operate with these settings:
• Baud rate 115200
• 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and flow control set to Xon/Xoff
• Also disable (uncheck) the “Use Function, Arrow, and Ctrl Keys for Windows”
option
2. Connect the PC to the switch’s Console Port using the console cable included with
the switch. (If your PC or terminal has a 25-pin serial connector, first attach a 9-pin
to 25-pin straight-through adapter at one end of the console cable.)
