!Welcome

The system you are about to install comes factory pre-loaded with EMC® Celerra® Network Server software (DART) and CLARiiON® storage array software (FLARE®).

Software upgrade

If you bought a software maintenance contract, you are entitled to software upgrades only after the installation, Celerra Startup Assistant (CSA), and registration have successfully completed.

Site preparation

Complete the site preparation by verifying the following activities before instal lation:

• Network connections• Power requirements• Rack space requirements

Default IP addresses

The system components communicate with each other using a private Internet Protocol (IP) network. By default, this network uses the IP addresses listed in the following table.

If your existing IP network uses addresses on these subnets, you are required to change the private network addresses of your Celerra Network Server to different subnets before the installation.

For more information, refer to Celerra Tools on http://Powerlink.EMC.com

Installation overview steps


Installation steps:

1. Review and complete the CSA installation and provisioning worksheets, pages 31-36, and verify that the site is properly prepared for the installation of your Celerra NS-120. About 20 minutes.

2. If your Celerra NS-120 is to be installed in a customer-supplied rack, use this document to unpack the system from the mini-rack shipping container, remove the reusable rails, and install the system in your available rack. About 40 minutes.

Note: If your Celerra NS-120 system arrived at your site in a pre-installed cabinet and is previously cabled, verify the cabling before you begin using your system.

Cable your system according to the instructions and illustrations contained in this document. Ensure that all of your cables are seated securely. About 45 minutes.

3. When you install your Celerra NS-120, use the Celerra Startup Assistant (CSA) to pre-confi gure your system. The latest version of the CSA can be downloaded from the Celerra Tools section on Powerlink®. The CSA is also on the Celerra Applications & Tools CD. About 15 minutes.

4. Register your system with the service provider. If you do not register your system now, using the Celerra Startup Assistant, your request for support from your service provider will be delayed. You can also register your Celerra NS-120 on Powerlink. About 5 minutes.

Implementation step: 5. After you have registered your Celerra NS-120 system, confi gure the system for production. You can use the Provisioning Wizard in CSA, one of the several pre-packaged implementation confi gurations based on common usages, or your own implementation using Unisphere to confi gure your system. At the end of each one of these confi gurations, your system will be ready for production.

Unpacking the Celerra NS-120 system

If your Celerra NS-120 system was purchased and shipped in an EMC 40 Unit cabinet(70 in. in height, 1 unit = 1.75 in.), start on page 15 of this document and confi rm that the cables are installed correctly and securely; otherwise start unpacking your Celerra NS-120 system from the disposable mini-rack shipping container.

CSA installation worksheet


1. Record the appropriate Control Station public LAN settings.

Primary hostnamePrimary IP address(For second Control Station only) Secondary hostname(For second Control Station only) Secondary IP addressNetmask Gateway

DNS domain

Primary DNS server

Secondary DNS serverNTP server

Time Zone

The CSA pre-populates values based on auto-discovery from your Windows client. Shaded fi elds below are values that will be auto-discovered based on your system and network environment; if auto-discovery fails, you need to provide the information manually.

Complete the worksheet and use this information to install using the Celerra Startup Assistant (CSA). Download the latest version of the CSA from the Celerra Tools section of Powerlink. Getting Started with the Celerra Startup Assistant can be downloaded from Powerlink and provides more information on the CSA pre-confi guration and provisioning processes.

2. The passwords for the root user/system back-end administrator and NAS administrator are default factory values and should be changed as soon as possible for security reasons. The passwords can be changed during the CSA installation process or later, from within Unisphere.

root_password (default value = nasadmin)

NAS Administrator (default value = nasadmin)

Field Value

Note: If you want to confi gure the IPv6 addresses for the Control Station (Control Station address, DNS, or NTP) or for the Data Movers (DNS or NTP), use the CSA for the initial installation and then refer to the Confi guring and Managing Celerra Networking technical module and Celerra Network Server Command Reference Manual to complete the IPv6 additions.

Note: The dial-in modem number is the phone number for the line that connects to the modem. This is the local number that is used by the service provider to dial into your system.

Note: Email will not work without a DNS server.

3. The appropriate blade public LAN settings are auto-discovered.

4. Record the storage processor public LAN IP addresses.

DNS domain

Primary DNS server

Secondary DNS server

NTP server

SP A IP addressSP B IP address

Note: Public IP addresses for your storage processors are required for use with the Navisphere Service Taskbar for routine array maintenance and upgrades. In addition, for Celerra systems where Navisphere licenses are in place, Navisphere can be used to manage storage for external host connectivity, and the Celerra. However, we recommend users manage Celerra storage using the Provisioning wizard capability within the CSA or within Unisphere. The IP addresses must be on the same subnet as the Control Station.

5. If applicable, confi gure service provider/customer notifi cation information.

Service provider/customer notifi cation

Email Server (recommended)Recipient Email Addresses (optional)

Site information Site ID (optional) (party name)Dial-in Modem # (optional)

Note: These settings apply to all primary blades.

6. Check the boxes of the licenses that you have purchased.

CIFS (Windows) NFS (Linux) iSCSI

At this point, the installation and pre-confi guration portions of CSA are complete.

33

CSA Provisioning Worksheet

Note: The Confi guration wizards can be launched and used as often as necessary to provision storage, to create an NFS export, create an iSCSI LUN, create a CIFS (Windows) share, and set up your MPFS system (for MPFS-supported systems only).

Complete this worksheet and use the information here to provision storage, create an NFS export, create an iSCSI LUN, create a CIFS (Windows) share, or set up your MPFS system (for MPFS-supported systems only) using the Celerra Startup Assistant (CSA).

If you want to provision storage using the CSA, complete this section. Storage provisioning involves creating RAID groups and LUNs.

Blade nameIP Address to be assigned to the newly-created interface

Netmask addressMTU (optional; default is 1500)

VLAN ID (optional; default is 0)

Provision unused disks

Provisioning of the storage available through the Celerra depends on individual site requirements. You can perform provisioning via the CSA Provisioning Wizards or Unisphere. You can also add additional storage and perform additional provisioning later. For more information, see Step 5. Confi gure for Production on Celerra Tools.
