Installation Process

Safety Information

Do not operate devices or handle cables on a stormy day.

To avoid eye injuries, do not look into the optical outlets without eye protection.

Arrange for at least three persons to carry and install a fully configured enclosure to avoidpersonal injury or device damage.

Do not wear an ESD wrist strap during power-on to avoid electric shocks.

are connected to two separate power

supplies for redundancy.

The AC power cables are secured

with plastic buckles.

The AC power cables for each

The device slants or cannot be detected.

Screws are loose or have fallen off.

The power-on process takes five to ten minutes. The system is completely powered on until the power

indicator of controller enclosure does not blink continually.

To avoid electric shocks, do not wear an ESD wrist strap when the storage system is powering on.

Do not adjust mini SAS cable connections between enclosures after power-on. Otherwise the storage

system may become abnormal. For a four-controller storage system, power on controller enclosure 0 and then controller enclosure 1

immediately.

5 Powering On the Storage System

Follow the correct power-on sequence of the storage system: switch on external power supplies press the

power button on either controller module switch on the Ethernet or Fibre Channel switch press the power

buttons on the file engine in sequence and check the indictor status switch on the application servers.

Follow the correct power-off sequence of the storage system: stop host services power off file engine nodes

in sequence by using the management software and wait until all indicators are off simultaneously press and

hold down the power buttons on both controller modules until the system is completely powered off (five

seconds) disconnect the controller enclosure and the disk enclosures from their power supplies.

Switching on external power supplies

Switch on external power supplies in the following sequence:

the OceanStor S2600T Storage System V200R002C20 Installation Guide.

2. ReplicationDirector. For details about installing the ReplicationDirector, refer to the OceanStor

ReplicationDirector User Guide.

3. UltraPath, a multipathing program. For details about installing the UltraPath, refer to the OceanStor

UltraPath for Windows User Guide, OceanStor UltraPath for Linux User Guide, OceanStor UltraPath for

Solaris User Guide, or OceanStor UltraPath for AIX User Guide.

7 (Optional) Installing Host Software

Contacting Huawei Technical Support

For details about initializing the storage system, refer to the OceanStor S2600T Storage System

V200R002C20 Installation Guide.

The default user name and password of the storage system are adminandAdmin@storagerespectively.

You are advised to change the default password immediately after you have logged in to the storage

system for the first time and periodically change your password in the future. This reduces the password

leakage risks. For details about how to modify the password, see OceanStor

S2600T&S5500T&S5600T&S5800T&S6800T Storage System V200R002C20 Maintenance Guide.

6 Initializing the Storage SystemAfter you have powered on the storage system, complete the following initialization steps:

1. Change the IP address of the management network port using the command-line interface (CLI). Before

doing this, connect the serial port on the controller enclosure to the maintenance terminal.

2. Log in to the OceanStor DeviceManager on the maintenance terminal.3. On the DeviceManager, follow the Initial Configuration wizardto change the basic information,

configure the device time, disk domain, alarm notification, and import license files. If you do not perform

the initial configuration as prompted, follow-up configuration and use of services will be affected.
