Preparing the Host System 3–5
Making a Physical Connection
To attach a host computer to the storage subsystem, install one or more host bus adapters
into the computer. A Fibre Channel (FC) cable goes from the host bus adapter to a FC
switch or hub.
Preparing to Install the Host Bus Adapter
Before installing the host bus adapter, perform the following steps:
1. Perform a complete backup of the entire system.
2. Shut down the computer system.
Installing the Host Bus Adapter
The first step in making a physical connection is the installation of a host bus adapter.
CAUTION: Protect the host bus adapter board from electrostatic discharge by wearing
an ESD wriststrap. DO NOT remove the board from the antistatic cover until you are
ready to install it.
You need the following items to begin:
■ Host bus adapter board and the installation instructions included with the adapter
(cbx_hba.pdf in the Storageworks kit)
■ The StorageWorks software CD-ROM kit
■ The computer hardware manual
■ Appropriate tools to service your computer
The host bus adapter board plugs into a standard PCI slot in the host computer. Refer to
the system manual for instructions on installing PCI devices.
If installing the RAID subsystem on an High Availability Cluster Multi-Processer
(HACMP) install a Fibre Quick Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) into each IBM
host server in the cluster.
NOTE: Do not power on anything yet. For the FC switches to autoconfigure, power on
equipment in a certain sequence. Also, the controllers in the subsystem are not yet configured
for compatibility with IBM AIX.
