Introduction
Preparing for a new installation
Note: Although most of this guide is intended for use by customers, this section is for use by
EMC personnel.
Before installing a new VPLEX cluster:
◆Verify that all necessary hardware has been received at the customer site(s), as
documented in the purchase order and shipping list.
◆Verify that two storage devices of at least 78 GB each have been allocated for use
as a VPLEX meta-volume and a mirrored copy. (The meta-volume will contain
RAID and virtual volume metadata.)
Each storage device should be from a different array.
Note: If the meta-volume is on an EMC CLARiiON®array, there must be active paths to all
VPLEX directors from the meta-volume LUN.
You must ensure that these storage devices will provide a maximum average
response time of 10 ms (for random 4K reads). The best practice to ensure this is
to allocate dedicated spindles on the array for any LUN that will be used as part
of the meta-volume mirror.
◆Verify that the conditions identified in “Reference: VPLEX requirements” on
page 19 have been met.
Required
information
Confirm that you have the following information:
◆Completed VPLEX Pre-installation Configuration Worksheet, available with other
VPLEX documentation on EMC Powerlink®
◆Default passwords, which are listed in the EMC VPLEX Security Configuration
Guide
◆EMC Secure Remote Support (ESRS) gateway information:
• ESRS gateway account
• Model Number — VS1
• Serial Number — Top-level assembly number (TLA) of the cluster, available
on the serial number tag attached to the top rear of the cabinet frame member
(and on the packing slip)
• Site ID — Provided by ESRS
• IP address — Address of the public Ethernet port on the VPLEX management
server
Preparing for a new installation 19
Introduction
Required hardware You must have a laptop, desktop, PC, or similar device with a keyboard and
graphical interface for connecting to the VPLEX management server and configuring
your VPLEX cluster(s). For convenience, this guide uses the term laptop to describe
the device.
Before starting the installation and configuration procedures described in this guide,
confirm that your laptop has the following:
◆USB port.
◆CD-ROM drive.
◆Fully charged batteries — For mobility between the lab environment and a
quieter location from which you can perform most of the configuration tasks.
Generally, access to power outlets will not be a problem. Just in case, however,
fully charged batteries could be useful.
◆Laptop power supply or laptop-to-rack power cord — For assurance of power.
Required software Confirm that you have the following on your laptop:
◆Windows OS
◆PuTTY, version 0.60 or later (download from www.putty.org) or similar SSH
client
◆FTP client (download from SourceForge.net) and/or PSCP client
◆If you want to use the VPLEX GUI:
• Web browser (Firefox v3.5.5 or v3.5.7, or Internet Explorer 7)
• Adobe Flash Player 10.0.0 or higher
Required tools You will need the following tools when unpacking and installing a VPLEX cluster:
◆Screwdrivers (#2 Phillips and medium flat-head)
◆Adjustable or 3/4-inch wrench (to remove shipping plates)
◆7/16-inch socket wrench (to remove shipping plates)
◆8 mm Allen wrench or cabinet door key (to open and secure the doors)
◆Knife or wire cutters (to cut strapping)
Reference: VPLEX
requirements
Use redundant physical Fibre Channel links to connect:
◆Each host to the VPLEX directors
◆Each director to the back-end storage
To prevent data unavailability:
◆Ensure that each host in a storage view has paths to at least two directors in each
cluster.
◆Ensure that multi-pathing is configured in such a way that the paths are
distributed evenly between directors A and B in each engine.
◆Use redundant SAN fabrics.
As Figure 8 on page 24 shows, each director should connect to both fabrics with
both the front-end and back-end ports. Connecting the ports as shown prevents
data unavailability if a single I/O module fails.
