About this book
The EMC VNX5300™and its configurations
The VNX5300 system has three configurations--different combinations of hardware, software, and
resulting capabilities. They are Block, File, and Unified (explained and illustrated below). The
configuration of your system should be indicated on the EMC Unisphere™ license in your order.
For hardware installation and configuration, there is little difference between the File configuration and the
Unified configuration. As a result, in this book they have been combined.
This installation guide covers both the Block configuration (starting on page 5) and the File/Unified
configuration (starting on page 39). Please review the contents applicable to your configuration before
starting your installation. This book includes planning worksheets, directions for unpacking, racking, and
cabling the hardware, and then instructions for initializing and configuring the system. It also contains
references for finding additional resources.
The VNX5300 Block system utilizes a Standby Power Supply and a Disk Processor Enclosure with
dual Storage Processors. The Disk Processor Enclosure can be either a 15-disk enclosure or a 25-disk
enclosure. It can (optionally) include disk-array enclosures for additional storage capacity. Its operating
environment sets up the system for Block storage.

About this book
The VNX5300 File system utilizes the Standby Power Supply and Disk Processor Enclosure and includes
one or two Control Stations and one or two Data Movers. Like the Block system, additional disk-array
enclosures can be included for additional storage. The VNX5300 operating environment sets up its system
for File storage.

As with the Block configuration, the File and Unified configurations can include either the 3U 15-disk DPE
(shown) or the 3U 25-disk DPE.
The VNX5300 Unified system includes the same hardware components as the VNX5300 File system.
They are installed in exactly the same order and in the same positions as the File system. There may be
additional I/O modules in the Unified system’s storage processors. In addition, the Unified configuration
includes software that enables both Block and File storage.
The installation of all these configurations is covered in this manual, although you should only need to
follow the section that applies to your configuration.
However, since the VNX5300 Block and the VNX5300 File can be upgraded to the Unified system, and
thus allow you to move from either Block storage or File storage to a Unified system in the future, we urge
you to plan the installation carefully. If you want to move from a Block system to a Unified system, for
example, reserve 4U of cabinet space above the DPE for the additional hardware components. Moving
from a File system to a Unified system does not require any additional cabinet space unless additional
drives and DAEs are to be added for providing block storage.

Before you begin
VNX Block Configuration
Welcome
If you do not already have a Product Support account, go to https://support.emc.com/products/
VNX5300 and set one up immediately. You will need a support account for access to the latest
documentation and troubleshooting information, online chat, installation/maintenance videos, and
utilities and wizards.
Software upgrade
If you bought a software maintenance contract, you are entitled to software upgrades only
after the installation and registration have successfully completed.
Site preparation
Make sure your site includes the following resource requirements:
AC power
• For high availability: At least two 110 or 240 V AC circuits are required.
Network connections
• Two 1-Gigabit Ethernet management connections
• Cabinet vertical space 3U (5.25 inches, 13.33 cm) for disk processor enclosure (DPE)
and 1U for the standby power supply (SPS). A total of 4U minimum vertical space is required,
plus space for any DAEs.
• Space for each optional DAE
A Windows-based computer to initialize the VNX5300 Block system with:
• At least 100 MB of free space
• Connection on same physical subnet as your VNX5300 system
• SMTP server network connection to the VNX5300 and the management host (recommended)

Planning Worksheet
With your network administrator, determine the IP addresses and network parameters you plan to use
with the storage system, and record the information on the following worksheet. You must have this
information to set up and initialize the system.
You manage the storage system through a dedicated LAN port on each storage processor. These ports
must share a subnet with the host you use to initialize the system. After initialization, any host on the
same network and with a supported browser can manage the system through the management ports.
In a server with multiple NICs or iSCSI HBAs that are connected directly to the storage system, or that
are on a dedicated iSCSI network, each initiator port must be on a separate subnet.
Record network information for your system on the worksheet on the next pages. Your network
administrator should provide most of this information. For more information, refer to your configuration
planning guide.
