HDS-NetApp Enterprise Gateways

System Assurance Objective:

The Systems Assurance (SA) process is designed to assist those involved in the sale, installation, and support of the HDS-NetApp Enterprise NAS Gateways to ensure that proper planning is done prior to installation by gathering the necessary information required for a successful installation of the HDS HDS-NetApp Enterprise NAS Gateways Disk Subsystem. The SA also facilitates the transfer of information between the customer and Hitachi Data Systems. With the information collected, HDS and the customer can better configure and tune the HDS-NetApp Enterprise NAS Gateways.

The Rule
Total current draw must not exceed 80% of the circuit breaker capacity. If a circuit breaker is rated at 20 amps, 80% = 16 amps.
Power inputs must be divided between two circuit breakers.
No other equipment is to be attached to power circuits used by Network Appliance equipment.
1 / Gateway Network Configuration Settings
New Host Name For This Gateway:
A unique 1 to 32 character name that uses only alphanumeric characters and hyphens.
Number of Interfaces:
Filers can contain a maximum of 31 interfaces. The interface names in this table are assigned by setup automatically.
  • For a single filer only: You do not need to fill out the partner addresses; they are for a filer cluster only.
  • For a filer cluster only: Fill in the host’s IP addresses and subnet masks, the partner’s IP addresses that the host can take over, and record the host’s interface names when setup runs.

Valid media types are: TP (Twisted Pair, 10BASE-T), TP-FD (10BASE-T Full Duplex), 100TX (100BASE-T), 100TX-FD (100BASE-T Full Duplex), Auto (Auto Negotiation), 1000FX (Gigabit Ethernet)
Host Interface Name / Host IP Address / Host Subnet Mask / Partner IP Address / Media Type
Default Gateway (optional):

Administration Host Information
Host Name:
The name of a client to use for administrative tasks such as
  • Mounting the filer’s root directory (/) to a NFS client
  • Entering filer commands using the rsh program or a telnet client
  • Sending automatic e-mail to Network Appliance Technical Support
If you do not enter an administration host name and IP address, any NFS client can mount the filer’s root file system and modify configuration files.
IP Address:
Time Zone
See First Time Configuration Guide for Time Zone listings. Default: GMT
DNS Domain Name

NIS Servers– (The name and IP address of the NIS servers)
NIS Server Names / IP Addresses
Number of Disks In The Default Volume
The setup program creates a default volume. You can choose to use 2 to 14 disks for the default volume. You can add disks to the default volume after the filer is configured.

WARNING

If you plan to create additional volumes after the filer is set up, do not allocate all the disks to the default volume. This will allow disks to remain available for additional volumes.
Mailhost (Optional)
The filer relies on another host that is running A SMTP mail program, listening on port 25. Up to five mail hosts can be specified. If no IP address is given DNS services will be used.
The default configuration uses mailhost.

HTTP Information Worksheet – Root Directory

When a web browser requests files using HTTP, the filer delivers the files using the root directory. For example, a root directory of/vol/vol10/home/html_files, and a browser requests the URL the filer will send the file /vol10/home/html_files/index.html.
