Before you begin

Read this information before beginning your installation.

Before you begin your installation, print and complete a Configuration worksheet for your storage system

to gather the information that the software setup process requires. The configuration worksheet is

provided in the Data ONTAP Software Setup Guide for your version of Data ONTAP, which is available on

the IBM®N series support website:

www.ibm.com/storage/support/nseries/

If you are configuring a storage system as part of a high-availability configuration, some information

types must be unique for each storage system node in the configuration, and some information types

must be identical on both storage system nodes. If you have a high-availability configuration, IBM

recommends that you print and complete two copies of the configuration worksheet, one for each system

node.
