Overview
This guide explains how to install and initialize an EMC®CLARiiON®CX700 Fibre
Channel storage processor enclosure (SPE).
Only an authorized service provider should install and cable hardware. Customers
can perform all the other procedures in this guide or have an authorized service
provider do them.
The EMC Installation Roadmap for CX-Series, AX-Series, and FC-Series Storage Systems
provides detailed checklists of installation procedures for supported storage-system
environments, and lists the documents you will need to complete each task. EMC
CLARiiON manuals related to the storage system are on the EMC CLARiiON
Storage-System Hardware and Software Documentation CD that shipped with the
storage system. The most recent versions of these manuals and the installation
roadmap are available on the EMC Powerlink™ website (http://
powerlink.emc.com). Once you have logged in to Powerlink, select Support >
Document Library and find the documents you need. The Installation Roadmap
discusses many storage-system configurations; you need to read only the chapter
that covers your operating system.
This guide uses the term disk-array enclosure (DAE) to describe both 2-gigabit disk-array
enclosures (DAE2) and 2-gigabit point-to-point (DAE2P) disk-array enclosures.

Step 1
Plan Your Configuration
To plan your installation, refer to the EMC CLARiiON CX300, CX300i, CX500,
CX500i, and CX700 Storage Systems Configuration and Planning Guide (on the EMC
Powerlink website or the documentation CD). The guide includes background
material, planning rules, and administrative worksheets. Use it to choose and
understand RAID types, LUNs, file systems, and software options.
Fill out the worksheets in the planning guide so you have parameters, such as
network addresses, available for the installation.

Step 2
Prepare Your Environment
1. Verify that your facility has adequate network wiring to provide each
storage-system storage processor (SP) with a management port Ethernet
connection.
2. Confirm that your facility has appropriate electrical wiring in place to
accommodate your cabinet’s power cords. For EMC cabinets, see the Site
Preparation and Unpacking Guide for the 40U-C Cabinet (on the EMC Powerlink
website or the documentation CD). To support all of the storage system’s high-
availability features, you must receive power from two discrete circuits.
3. Install host bus adapters (HBAs) and appropriate drivers in any hosts that will
have data access to the storage system (if necessary). These hosts are also referred
to as servers. See the installation manuals that shipped with the HBAs or that are
available on the HBA vendor’s website.
4. Install any Fibre Channel switches and switch software on the paths between the
storage system and the servers. See the installation manuals that shipped with the
switch or that are available on the switch vendor’s website.

Step 3
Verify the Parts
Verify that your basic configuration has the following parts:
❒CX700 SPE with:
❒Two storage processors (SPs)
❒Two power supplies
❒Three fan modules
❒Two standby power supplies (SPSs) for systems that will use ac power
❒One Fibre Channel disk-array enclosure (DAE2 or DAE2P) with a minimum of
five disk drives
❒Optional DAEs
❒1-meter copper Fibre Channel HSSDC-HSSDC cables (2 per optional DAE2) for
external disks on back-end loop
❒2-meter copper Fibre Channel HSSDC-HSSDC2 cables (2 per optional DAE2P)
for external disks on back-end loop
❒Power cords - one per power supply
❒SPS serial (sense) cables - one per SPS; one per dc power/cooling module
❒One or more rail kits (if your storage system is not already installed in a cabinet)

Verify the Parts
Customers must provide the following:
❒CAT 5 or better Ethernet LAN RJ45 cables (1 per SP) for storage-system
management connections
❒Fibre Channel optical cables (2 maximum per SP) for server/switch connections

Step 4
Install the Host Agent or Server Utility
You can use either the Navisphere®Host Agent or the Navisphere Server Utility to
register the server NICs or HBAs with the storage system. Depending on your
application needs, you can install either the Host Agent or Server Utility on a server.
You cannot install both applications on the same server; however, you can install
them on different servers attached to the same storage system. Table 1 describes the
differences between the Host Agent and the Server Utility.
Table 1 - Differences Between the Host Agent and the Server Utility
Function Host Agent Server Utility
Pushes LUN mapping and OS
information to the storage
system.
Yes – LUN mapping information
displays in the Manager user interface,
next to the LUN icon, or with the CLI
using the -lunmapinfo command.
No – The text
Manually
Registered
appears next to the
host name icon indicating that the
Host Agent is not installed on this
server.
Runs automatically to send
information to the storage
system, such as initiator records
for the NICs or HBAs connected
to the storage system.
Yes – No user interaction is required. Noa– You must manually update the
information by starting the utility or
you create a script to run the utility.
a. Since you run the Server Utility on demand, you have more control as to how or when the utility is executed.
Requires network connectivity to
the storage system.
Yes – Network connectivity allows LUN
mapping information to be available to
the storage system.
No – LUN mapping information is
not available through a network
connection to the storage system.
All data between the Server Utility
and the storage system is passed
over the iSCSI connections.
Requires installation. Yes – You must install the Host Agent
on the server.
No – You can run the Server Utility
from the CD. However, we
recommend that you install it on the
server.

Step 4 Continued
Install the Host Agent or Server Utility
If you have not already installed the Host Agent or the Server Utility, install it now.
Follow the instructions in the installation guide listed below for the operating system
running on each server connected to the storage system. These installation guides are
on the EMC Powerlink website and the documentation CD.

Step 5
Install the Storage System in the Cabinet
If your CX700 SPE enclosure or DAEs are not already installed in a cabinet, install
them using the instructions for installing a 4U device (SPE) or 3U device (DAE2 or
DAE2P) in the EMC Rails and Enclosures Field Installation Guide.
IMPORTANT The disk modules in slots 0 through 4 of the first DAE (enclosure 0,
loop 0) provide mirrored boot and recovery capability, and are preconfigured
according to their slot assignment before shipment. Do not move a module in
slots 0 through 4 from its assigned slot to another slot. Remove it only to replace a
failed disk.
Do not configure an ATA model DAE as EA 0, loop 0. ATA enclosures do not
support the boot and SPS requirements of the first disk-array enclosure in a
storage system.
