Lab 5: Part 1 – Prepare System for Install Step

Action

1

Note: For lab purposes, please refer to the Installation module of this course for proper cable routing and port locations. For customer installations, always use the VMAX3 with HYPERMAX OS 5977 Installation and Maintenance Guide.

2

Verify DAE cabling. Verify the cables are attached to the correct ports of the LCCs or ICMs. Check for loose cables by carefully pulling on each cable to verify it is fully seated.

3

Verify SPS Power and monitor cabling. Although pre-installed, cabling could have moved while the system was physically moved from the warehouse to the customer or lab site. Therefore, check to ensure all DAEs have their cables correctly plugged in, based on color coding, as dictated by the power zone (A or B) they supply power to. Power zone ‘A’ has gray cables attached to it, while power zone ‘B’ has black cables in the same bay. Check all power cable connections to ensure cables are properly secured with their respective bails.

4

Verify general cabling. Visually inspect all (not aforementioned) inter-bay and intra-bay communication, monitoring and power cables and ensure they are properly run between the various modules, cable tied and seated. These modules include but are not limited to; MIBE, SPS, Server, KVM and Ethernet switches.

5

Ensure ALL modules are seated properly with tab pushed in.

19

Step 6

Action Check to ensure all PDUs (Power Distribution Units) have their cables correctly plugged in, based on color coding, as directed by the power zone (A or B) they supply power to. Power zone ‘A’ has gray cables attached to it, while power zone ‘B’ is populated with black cables in the same bay. Check all PDU power cable connections to ensure cables are properly configured. Important: Loose cables could trigger sparks or lead to component damage.

7

Check SPS connections and settings. Verify that the SPS breakers are all ON. Turn them ON should they be OFF. (refer to diagram on right)

8

Check the power supplied to the VMAX Bays. Is AC connected to the PDU in each bay (if more than one)? Turn all PDU breakers ON if they are turned OFF. (refer to diagram on right)

End of Lab Exercise

Lab 5: Part 2 – Install System Step 1

Action Log on. Follow the login instructions as outlined in SymmWin Security Login section of the Installation Manual. Obtain a server security credential and password from Central Manager http://slc.emc.com/psscm (Use your NT login or password to log on to Central Manager). If you do not have access to Central Manager, your instructor will supply a default credential.

2

Click the Simplified Symmwin button from the Gadget box on the right to log into Simplified Symmwin using your credential and password. Note: If the AutoLogin feature is enabled, you will be logged directly into either Simplified Symmwin or Symmwin (based on your access level). If you are logged directly into Simplified Symmwin, proceed to the next step. If you are logged into Symmwin, minimize the screen to display the desktop, look for the Gadget box on the right and click the Simplified Symmwin button to log in.
