Detailed guide - AFF A800

This guide gives detailed step-by-step instructions for installing an AFF A800 system.

Step 1: Prepare for installation

To install your AFF A800 system, you need to create an account and register the system.

You also need to inventory the appropriate number and type of cables for your system

and collect specific network information.

You need to have access to the Hardware Universe for information about site requirements as well as

additional information on your configured system. You might also want to have access to the Release Notes for

your version of ONTAP for more information about this system.

NetApp Hardware Universe

Find the Release Notes for your version of ONTAP 9

You need to provide the following at your site:

•Rack space for the storage system

•Phillips #2 screwdriver

•Additional networking cables to connect your system to your network switch and laptop or console with a

Web browser

1. Unpack the contents of all boxes.

2. Record the system serial number from the controllers.

3. Set up your account:

a. Log in to your existing account or create an account.

b. Register your system.

NetApp Product Registration

4. Inventory and make a note of the number and types of cables you received.

The following table identifies the types of cables you might receive. If you receive a cable not listed in

the table, see the Hardware Universe to locate the cable and identify its use.

Step 2: Install the hardware

You need to install your system in a 4-post rack or NetApp system cabinet, as applicable.

1. Install the rail kits, as needed.

Installing SuperRail into a four-post rack

2. Install and secure your system using the instructions included with the rail kit.

You need to be aware of the safety concerns associated with the weight of the system.

3. Attach cable management devices (as shown).

4. Place the bezel on the front of the system.

Step 3: Cable controllers

There is required cabling for your platform’s cluster using the two-node switchless cluster

method or the cluster interconnect network method. There is optional cabling to the Fibre

Channel or iSCSI host networks or direct-attached storage. This cabling is not exclusive;

you can have cable to a host network and storage.

Required cabling: Cable controllers to a cluster

Cable the controllers to a cluster by using the two-node switchless cluster method or by

using the cluster interconnect network.

Option 1: Cable a two-node switchless cluster

Management network ports on the controllers are connected to switches. The HA

interconnect and cluster interconnect ports are cabled on both controllers.

Contact your network administrator for information about connecting the system to the switches.

Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable connector pull-tab orientation.

As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click, remove

it, turn it around and try again.

1. Use the animation or the step-by step instructions to complete the cabling between the controllers and to

the switches:

Cabling a two-node switchless cluster

Step Perform on each controller module

Cable the HA interconnect ports:

•e0b to e0b

•e1b to e1b

Cable the cluster interconnect ports:

•e0a to e0a

•e1a to e1a

Step Perform on each controller module

Cable the management ports to the management network switches

DO NOT plug in the power cords at this point.

2. To perform optional cabling, see:

◦[Option 1: Connect to a Fibre Channel host]

◦[Option 2: Connect to a 10GbE host]

◦[Option 3: Connect to a single direct-attached NS224 drive shelf]

◦[Option 4: Connect to two direct-attached NS224 drive shelves]

3. To complete setting up your system, see Step4: Completing system setup and configuration.

Option 2: Cable a switched cluster

Cluster interconnect and management network ports on the controllers are connected to

switches while the HA interconnect ports are cabled on both controllers.

Contact your network administrator for information about connecting the system to the switches.

Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable connector pull-tab orientation.

As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click, remove

it, turn it around and try again.

1. Use the animation or the step-by step instructions to complete the cabling between the controllers and to

the switches:

Cabling a switched cluster

Step Perform on each controller module

Cable the HA interconnect ports:

•e0b to e0b

•e1b to e1b

Cable the cluster interconnect ports to the 100 GbE cluster

interconnect switches.

Step Perform on each controller module

Cable the management ports to the management network switches

DO NOT plug in the power cords at this point.

2. To perform optional cabling, see:

◦[Option 1: Connect to a Fibre Channel host]

◦[Option 2: Connect to a 10GbE host]

◦[Option 3: Connect to a single direct-attached NS224 drive shelf]

◦[Option 4: Connect to two direct-attached NS224 drive shelves]

3. To complete setting up your system, see Step4: Completing system setup and configuration.

Optional cabling: Cable configuration-dependent options

You have configuration-dependent optional cabling to the Fibre Channel or iSCSI host

networks or direct-attached storage. This cabling is not exclusive; you can have cabling

to a host network and storage.

Option 1: Cable to a Fibre Channel host network

Fibre Channel ports on the controllers are connected to Fibre Channel host network

switches.

Contact your network administrator for information about connecting the system to the switches.

Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable connector pull-tab orientation.
