Installing Optional Navisphere 6.X SoftwareInstalling Optional Navisphere 6.X SoftwareYou may need to add the following software:◆◆Navisphere ManagerAccess Logix™, SnapView™, MirrorView™, SAN Copy™, orAnalyzer optionsTo add the software, you will need to connect the laptop directly tothe SP LAN port. Use the 10BaseT crossover cable that shipped withyour system. Installing Optional Navisphere 6.X Software3. On the laptop desktop, enter an IP address, subnet mask, anddefault gateway for your connection. Be sure the IP address isunique to this connection.You can enter the same mask and gateway specified in step 12 on page20, but you must assign an IP address not used by SP A or B; for example,10.4.12.138 rather than 136 or 137.4. Open the PPP connection icon on your desktop taskbar, anddisconnect the laptop-array serial connection. Installing Optional Navisphere 6.X SoftwareSnapView, MirrorView, and SAN Copy drivers will not install unlessAccess Logix is already installed on the storage system.Systems that use SnapView require admsnap host management utilitysoftware and systems that use SAN Copy require the admhostmanagement utility software.
When you configure your storage systemhosts, remember to install admsnap (SnapView) or admhost (SAN Copy)from the CD-ROM to each host that will use the storage system.3. Installing Optional Navisphere 6.X SoftwareSetting Initial Security Parameters!CAUTIONEMC strongly recommends that you set Navisphere 6.X securityparameters (including an administrator and domain) beforeconnecting to the LAN from which you will manage the storagesystem.However, be sure to initialize this system only if you do not want itto be a part of another management domain. If this storage systemis part of a larger domain, set security on the system that will be themaster. Installing Optional Navisphere 6.X SoftwareUsing the Serial Cable Via the Serial Port (Alternate Method)To set initial security parameters while connected to the SP via serialconnection:1. Open your web browser on the service laptop.2.

In the URL window, enter the following IP address:192.168.1.1/setup3. In the Navisphere 6.X Setup Pages that appear, set Securityand/or Privileged Users as needed.Security is automatically set for the other SP. Making Management and Switch or Host ConnectionsMaking Management and Switch or Host ConnectionsConnect each SP to the LAN from which you will run Navispheremanagement, as shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13.
Making Management and Switch or Host ConnectionsConnecting a Fibre-Optic Switch or Fibre Channel HostConnect to your fibre-optic switch or Fibre Channel host as follows:1. Remove the protective covers from each optical connector andcable.2.
Plug the cables into the SP front-end (FE) host ports. Figure 14shows a CX700 SP, which has four host ports; a CX500 SP and aCX300 SP both have two ports that are marked FE 0 and FE 1. Configuring Your Host Server and Storage System4.
Connect the other end of the Port 1-3 cables as follows:. In a system without MirrorView — to an HBA port(direct-attach configurations) or switch port (SANconfigurations). In a system with MirrorView — Port 1 (CX500) or Port 3(CX700) to a storage processor (SP) host port on the remotestorage system, or a Fibre Channel switch port.Configuring Your Host Server and Storage SystemYou are now ready to configure your host server and storage system.
