About this guide This guide describes how to install a NetApp NearStore R200 storage system, connect it to the network, and start it up.

Audience

This guide is for system administrators who are familiar with operating systems that run on the storage systems clients, such as UNIX, Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. The procedures in this guide describe replacement, upgrade, and maintenance tasks for personnel with the following skills and experience:

Working familiarity with small computer system hardware and operation Basic understanding of common networking concepts and practices Working familiarity with accepted tools and procedures for installing and operating sensitive electronic equipment

Terminology

This guide uses the following terms:


R200 or R200 system refers, at a minimum, to an R200 storage engine and two or more R200 disk shelves, depending on your configuration. Disk shelf refers to an R200 disk shelf. Storage engine, or R200 storage engine, refers to the controller unit that the disk shelves are attached to. Note In the Data ONTAP software documentation that came with your R200, the term filer is used in place of the term storage engine. For this instance, the terms filer and storage engine refer to the same physical component of the storage system; that is, the device that oversees the flow of data to and from the disk shelves.

Chapter 1: Installation roadmap for the R200

General information about the disk shelf

Information you need to understand

Before you install one or more disk shelves in a rack, you need to understand the following information:

Disk shelf numbering Loop IDs Supported disk drives

Disk shelf numbering

Each disk shelf in a loop must have a unique ID. A valid shelf ID is from 1 through 6, with disk shelf 1 connected to the storage appliance. The default for an invalid shelf ID is 7. If you install a second or third loop of disk shelves, the disk shelf IDs in each loop must start at 1. The ID of a single disk shelf should be 1. Each disk shelf is shipped with its assigned ID set on its back panel. You must ensure that the disk shelf has the correct ID number on the label. The ID label is on the right side of the disk shelf, as shown in the following illustration.
Shelf 1

Drive Bays 13
0

13 12 11 10 9 8 7

6 5 4 3 2 1 0

Loop ID 29 - 16

NetApp sets the disk shelf IDs at the factory on configured systems, using an ID switch on the back panel. If you order additional disk shelves, you must set the disk shelf ID yourself. Note If you enter a shelf ID that is not from 1 through 7, the drive addresses default to those of a shelf with the ID switch set to 7 even though the shelf ID indicator in the front operation panel displays a dash (-).

General information about the disk shelf

The example in the following illustration shows a DS14mk2 AT with the disk shelf ID set to 1.

Shelf ID switch

Loop IDs

In addition to identifying the disk shelf ID and the direction of the drive bays, the ID label on the right side of the disk shelf includes the loop ID. The loop ID identifies the disks in the disk shelf. The last sheet of the quick reference cards that come with your disk shelf shows the seven disk shelf IDs and their corresponding loop IDs.
