Installation guide

Verifying the Installation
1. If the 7133 is going to be used as an SSA RAID subsystem, go to the User’s
Guide and Maintenance Information manual for your SSA adapter for information
about how to configure RAID arrays. When you have configured the RAID arrays,
return here and go to step 6.
If the 7133 is not going to be used as an SSA RAID subsystem, go to step 2.
2. Run the cfgmgr command to configure all the devices into AIX.
If the 7133 is connected to a loop that contains two or more SSA adapters, and
those adapters are installed in two or more using systems, run the cfgmgr
command on each using system.
Note: Alternatively, set the Key Mode switch of each using system to Service
mode, then boot each system. When the operator panels display 200, set
the keys to Normal mode to continue the boot process.
3. Manually vary-on the volume groups, and mount the file systems as required.
4. Use the Physical Link Configuration service function on the installed SSA adapters
to verify that the configuration of the disk drive modules on the SSA loops is as
specified by the customer. (See the 7133 Models D40 and T40 Serial Disk
Systems: Service Guide for instructions on how to use the Physical Link
Configuration service aid.)
If the Physical Link Configuration service function shows that no disk drive
modules have been configured on the SSA adapter, run diagnostics to assist with
problem determination. (Such a condition might be caused by a loop configuration
that is not valid; see Note 4a on page 9.)
5. Run system diagnostics in System Verification mode to the 7133 and to all the
attached SSA physical disk drives (pdisks).
6. Close and lock the back cover of the 7133.
7. If the 7133 has the Advanced SSA Optical Extender (Pair) feature, go to step 8 on
page 54. Otherwise, go to step 10 on page 54.
