Configuration Overview
This chapter highlights the tools and the important limitations and guidelines which
must be understood prior to configuring your array.
This chapter covers the following topics:
■ “Summary of Array Configuration” on page 5-1
■ “Point-to-Point Configuration Guidelines” on page 5-3
■ “A Sample SAN Point-to-Point Configuration” on page 5-5
■ “A Sample DAS Loop Configuration” on page 5-10
■ “Connecting Two Hosts to One Host Channel (SATA Only)” on page 5-14
■ “Larger Configurations” on page 5-14
Subsequent chapters in this manual describe further procedures used to complete the
installation and configuration of the arrays. The flexible architecture of the SANnet II
200 FC, SATA, and SATA SE arrays makes many configurations possible.
5.1 Summary of Array Configuration
SANnet II 200 FC, SATA, and SATA SE arrays are preconfigured with a single RAID
0 logical drive mapped to LUN 0, and no spare drives. This is not a usable
configuration, but it enables in-band connections with management software. You must
delete this logical drive and create new logical drives.
All configuration procedures can be performed by using the COM port. You can also
perform all procedures except the assignment of an IP address through an Ethernet port
connection to a management console.
The following steps describe the typical sequence of steps for completing a first-time
configuration of the array.
1. Mount the array on a rack, cabinet, desk, or table.
2. Set up the serial port connection.
See “Configuring a Host COM Port to Connect to a RAID Array” on page 4-26.
