■ Communication Modes
The default LAN operation mode is "Auto Negotiation" which allows the ETERNUS DX to automatically recognize
1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T and Full/Half-Duplex connections. However, some devices may require that a
fixed communication mode be set.

3. Rack Installation
This chapter describes the procedure for installing the ETERNUS DX in a rack.
Make sure to check "Safety Notes and Regulations" before starting the installation. Also refer to the rack manual.
• Wear a wrist strap or touch a metal part to discharge the human body's natural
static electricity before starting each operation. Failure to discharge static
electricity may cause failure in the ETERNUS DX.
• If components are installed in a way other than as described in this chapter,
damage and/or device failure or electrical shock may occur.
• Do not install the power distribution unit in the rack with cables, such as power
cords, connected.
• The ETERNUS DX contains delicate components, and should be handled gently. Do
not drop or knock the ETERNUS DX against the rack when installing it. Also, do not
knock the other devices installed in the rack.
• The center of gravity must be taken into consideration to prevent a rack from
toppling over. Enclosures should generally be installed from bottom to top to
lower the center of gravity and to ensure the safe use of racks.
• Do not uninstall the drives that are installed by default or move them to any other
slot.
Contact your sales representative or maintenance engineer if drives that are
installed by default need to be uninstalled or moved to another slot.

Note
• If the ETERNUS DX is installed at the bottom of a rack, a space for the surplus of cables may not be
available in some racks, preventing the ETERNUS DX from being pulled out when maintenance work is
required. In this case, secure a space of 1U or more at the bottom when installing the storage system.
• To install an enclosure, power distribution units, power synchronized units, and UPS units in a single
rack, mount the devices in the following order (from bottom to top).

4. Connecting Cables
This chapter explains how to connect various cables to the ETERNUS DX.
• Wear a wrist strap or touch a metal part to discharge the human body's natural
static electricity before starting each operation. Failure to discharge static
electricity may cause failure in the ETERNUS DX.
Host Interface Cable Connection
Connect the ETERNUS DX to the connection destination using host interface cables. The connection procedure
varies depending on the type of host interface that is used for the ETERNUS DX.
If the host interface in the ETERNUS DX100 S5/DX200 S5 is iSCSI 10Gbit/s (10GBASE-SR), and an FC cable is used
for the connection, the SFP+ module must be installed in the host interface port before the cable is connected.
Prepare the same number of host interface cables as the number of host interface ports.
IMPORTANT
• To help with host interface cable management and prevent incorrect connections, attach labels to the
cables that show which end is for the connection origin and which end is for the connection destination.
• SAS 12Gbit/s host interface cables have the same connector type as the mini SAS HD cables between
enclosures. To prevent accidental connections to a DI port on the drive enclosure or the controller
enclosure with the host interface cable, check the connection destination port.
In addition, the cable connector of the host interface is plugged in an orientation that is different from
the connector of the mini SAS HD cables between enclosures. When connecting the host interface cable,
make sure that the tab is facing up.
• When connecting a host interface cable, check the direction of the connector tab and insert it all the
way in firmly.
When disconnecting a host interface cable, pull out the connector while holding its tab.
• If the host interface ports and host interface cable connectors have covers, remove the covers. Keep the
removed covers in a safe place where they will not be lost.
• When connecting the cables, position them so that they will not obstruct replacement of the power
supply unit or controllers by the maintenance engineer.
Note
This section uses a controller enclosure with two controllers as an example to explain the connection
procedure. When one controller is installed, this procedure is only applied to Controller 0 (CM#0).

SFP+ Module Handling Instructions

The following shows instructions for handling an SFP+ module.
● About Condensation
• When moving an SFP+ module from a cold place, such as an unconditioned

store house in winter, to a warmer place such as an air-conditioned room, the
severe temperature change may result in condensation forming.
To avoid this, allow the packed SFP+ modules sufficient time in the warmer
place (one hour for each 15°C of temperature difference) to adapt to the new
temperature.
● About Static Electricity
• When handling SFP+ modules, wear a wrist strap or touch a metal part to
discharge the human body's natural static electricity. Failure to discharge
static electricity may cause failure in the ETERNUS DX.
• Leave the SFP+ module in its package until ready to install it.
● About Shock
• Do not handle the SFP+ module roughly or subject it to physical shocks when
laying it down.
• Do not place any objects on top of SFP+ modules.
• Do not knock or drop the SFP+ module on hard objects.
This section uses an iSCSI 10Gbit/s host interface (CA) as an example to show the connection procedure.
1 Install an SFP+ module in the host interface port.

This procedure is required only when an SFP+ module must be installed.
Note
Step 1 is not required if the host interface (CA) is iSCSI 10Gbit/s (10GBASE-T).

(1) Remove the connector cover attached to the port of the SFP+ module and open the lever.
SFP+ module

IMPORTANT
Keep the removed connector cover in a safe place where it will not be lost.
(2) Check the direction of the SFP+ module and insert it all the way into the port cage of the host
interface.
Install the SFP+ module in Port#0 first, and then Port#1.

2 Connect a host interface cable to the ETERNUS DX.
Insert the host interface cable connectors in the host interface ports (iSCSI) of Controller 0 (CM#0) and
Controller 1 (CM#1).

• When connecting the host interface cables, position them so that they will
not obstruct replacement of the power supply unit or controllers by the
maintenance engineer.
3 Connect the host interface cable to the connection destination.

Connect the other end of the cable to the connection destination.

Drive Enclosure Connection
When a drive enclosure is installed, connect the drive enclosure to the controller enclosure with a mini SAS HD
cable between enclosures. When multiple drive enclosures are installed, connect the drive enclosures with mini
SAS HD cables between enclosures.
0.75m mini SAS HD cables between enclosures are provided with 2.5" type drive enclosures and 3.5" type drive
enclosures. 2.5m cables between enclosures are provided with high-density drive enclosures.
The connection type between Controller 0 and the I/O modules for Controller 0 is different from that between
Controller 1 and the I/O modules for Controller 1.
Between Controller 0 and I/O module line 0, connect the source DI (OUT) port and the destination DI (IN) port in
ascending order of the drive enclosure numbers (DE-ID) of the drive enclosure.
Between Controller 1 and I/O module line 1, contrary to the line 0, connect the source DI (OUT) port and the
destination DI (IN) port in descending order of the drive enclosure numbers (DE-ID) of the drive enclosure.
Do not connect anything to the last DI port that is nearest to the edge.
The last ports nearest to the edge are the DI (OUT) port of I/O module 0 in the drive enclosure of the largest DE-
ID and the DI (OUT) port of I/O module 1 in the drive enclosure of the smallest DE-ID.
The connection configurations of cables between enclosures and the last DI port location when two drive
enclosures are installed are shown below.

When Using the Remote Installation Function

When operating and managing multiple ETERNUS DX storage systems that are connected to the network, use
the DHCP server to simplify the procedure for connecting each ETERNUS DX and administration terminal (this
function is called as the "Remote Installation" function).
• If the MNT port of the ETERNUS DX is connected to the network, the DHCP server assigns a network address to
the MNT port. The network setup information for ETERNUS DX storage systems in the network is collected by
using a Windows application called ETERNUS Connection Detecting tool (ECD). Log in to ETERNUS Web GUI on
the network address of the MNT port where information was collected.
To use the Remote Installation function with the DHCP server, satisfying the network conditions and obtaining
an ECD are required. Contact your maintenance engineer.
If the Remote Installation function is not used, the network environment is configured in the usual way: the
maintenance engineer configures the network environment of the MNT port by connecting the administration
terminal to the RMT port of the ETERNUS DX (with the ETERNUS DX500 S5/DX600 S5/DX900 S5, connect the
administration terminal to the FST port).
• The MNT port network environment settings must be set with an authorized IP address. Some functions are
not available if the network environment settings are incomplete.
When Using the SSL (https) Connection

The "SSL server certificate" or the "self-signed SSL certificate" must be registered in the ETERNUS DX in advance.
• When registering "SSL server certificate"
1 Use either of the following methods to obtain an "SSL server certificate" from the certification authority.
- Use the [Create Key/CSR] function (*1) of the ETERNUS DX to download a Certificate Signing Request
(CSR) and send it to the certification authority.
- Use a generally provided tool or website other than the ETERNUS DX.
2 If the "SSL server certificate" is in the PFX format, convert it to the PEM format (*1).
3 Use the [Register SSL Certificate] function (*1) to register the obtained "SSL server certificate".
• When registering a "self-signed SSL certificate" that is created using the ETERNUS DX
1 Create the "self-signed SSL certificate" using the [Create Self-signed SSL Certificate] function (*1).

How RAID Groups and Thin Provisioning Are Used

This section describes how RAID groups and Thin Provisioning are used.
RAID groups are areas for storing normal data that are used when the volume capacity requirements can be
estimated in advance. Business volumes and Advanced Copy volumes (Standard type volumes, WSVs, Snap Data
Volumes [SDVs], and Snap Data Pool Volumes [SDPVs]) can be created in RAID groups.
Thin Provisioning manages drives in a pool and assigns them to virtual logical volumes when data is written
from the host. Thin Provisioning enables operations to be started with less drive capacity even if the capacity
requirements cannot be estimated. Thin Provisioning Volumes (TPVs, NAS user volumes, and Deduplication/
Compression Volumes) are created in Thin Provisioning Pools (TPPs).
When Using Standard Volumes

The following sections describe the series of settings when creating Standard volumes.
Not only can new RAID groups be created, adding or changing volumes that are registered in existing RAID
groups can also be performed.
Standard volumes are also used as copy destination volumes for OPC, EC, or REC.
1 Create RAID Group
Create a RAID group (a group of drives that configures the RAID in the ETERNUS DX).
Refer to: "RAID Group Creation" (page 109)
2 Create Volume
Create a volume (drive area in the RAID group). A volume is a structural unit of RAID that can be
recognized from the server. Select "Standard" for "Type".
Refer to: "Operation Volume Creation" (page 112)

6. Configuration Settings for RAID Groups or Thin Provisioning

11. Solution Configuration
This chapter describes the optimum solutions provided by the ETERNUS DX linking with software programs.
Business Continuity
Remote Copy Operations for the Storage System (Copies between ETERNUS DX Storage
Systems)
■ Solution Overview
The ETERNUS DX can perform real time data transfers from the operation site to a remote site. Even if an error
occurs in the operation site, operations can continue by switching operation from the operation site to the
backup site. Data transfers to a remote site occur only between storage systems, not through servers, which
reduces the load on the server.
Support for multiple transfer methods also enables flexible backup systems to be configured according to the
operation environment.

Automated Storage Tiering
Automated Storage Tiering is a function that detects frequently accessed data by monitoring data access to the
storage, and redistributes data between drives of various types according to the policy that is set.
By storing the less frequently accessed data to cost effective Nearline SAS disks with a large capacity, storage
cost can be reduced. By storing the frequently accessed data to high performance SSDs, response time are
reduced and performance is improved.
In addition, by automating operation, data management hours and management costs can be reduced.

Automated Storage Tiering can be achieved by using the Flexible Tier function of the ETERNUS DX and the
function of ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser.
For single tier pools, ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser must be installed. For two or three tier pools, the ETERNUS
SF Storage Cruiser Optimization option must be installed.
Set the tiering policy and the virtual storage pool in the operation management server (ETERNUS SF Storage
Cruiser).
For details on the settings, refer to "ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser Operation Guide for Optimization Option".
Performance/Tuning
The performance of existing systems may be affected when the number of servers that access the ETERNUS DX
increases due to increased operations. The process performance that the user sets as the target value can be
automatically adjusted by using ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser to automate Quality of Service (QoS). This
guarantees the bandwidth for a server according to the operation priority to reduce the effect on one server from
another server, which results in the performance of a server with high priority and important operations to be
guaranteed.
Efficient operation can be achieved when the response performance of different operations are guaranteed in
different time periods. Examples of this include when the Exchange server and backup applications exist
together, and the Exchange environment is given priority during daytime and backup application operations are
given priority during nighttime.

Figure 18 Solution — Performance/Tuning

Power consumption can be reduced by stopping disk motors when they are not being used. Making power
consumption more efficient reduces the cost of electricity, noise emissions, and CO2 emissions.
If the backup time period is predetermined, power saving operations can be implemented effectively by setting
the Eco-mode schedule for backing up disk drives to only activate the disks when required. The disks motor or
the disks power can be turned on and off according to the backup operation state using ETERNUS SF
AdvancedCopy Manager.
The graphical display when ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser is used makes it easy to understand changes in power
consumption and in temperature as well as check the effect of power saving operations and the effect of air
conditioning around the ETERNUS DX. This statistical data can be output to a file so that it can be used when
planning which power supply equipment and air conditioning equipment should be used by monitoring the
degree of changes in power consumption and temperature.

A. Component Names

There are two sizes for power distribution units: 1U and 2U.
Power Distribution Units (1U)

The 1U power distribution unit has four outlets and two inlets.

1 Main line switch

This turns on and off the power distribution unit.
2 Outlet (OUTPUT)
This is a socket (IEC60320 C13) for outgoing power supply. This socket is used to connect a power cord (AC
output cable).
3 Inlet (INPUT)
This is a socket (IEC60320 C14) for incoming power supply. This socket is used to connect a power cord (AC
input cable).
Power Distribution Units (2U)

The 2U power distribution unit has 16 outlets.

B. Structures for Host Connection
This appendix describes structures for host connection.
• Host group
A host group is a group of hosts that is allowed to access the volume (LUN group).
By configuring the host group, the LUN mapping settings or host response settings for the hosts in the host
group can be changed with a single operation.
• CA port group
A CA port group is a group of host interface ports that is allowed to access the volume (LUN group).
By configuring the port group, the LUN mapping settings for the host interface ports in the port group can be
changed with a single operation. CA port groups can be used to configure a multipath or a host cluster.
• LUN group
A LUN group is a group of volumes that allows access from the host.
A host LUN, which is an identifier from the host, is assigned to each volume in the LUN group.
• Host affinity
For the host, host affinity is a function that controls access permissions to volumes.
• Host affinity setting
The host affinity setting is an operation that assigns hosts (host groups) or ports (port groups) to LUN groups.

HBA2 The procedure to define the Host Affinity is as follows:
1. Define host group.
2. Define CA port group.
3. Define LUN group.
4. Allocate the host group, the CA port group, and the LUN group.

■ Configuration Example
● Host Group Settings
Refer to "Add FC Host Group" or "Add iSCSI Host Group" in "ETERNUS Web GUI User's Guide" for details.
No. Host Group Host Host response

1 Host Group A Host A – HBA1 Default
Host A – HBA2
2 Host Group B Host B – HBA1 Default
Host B – HBA2
3 Host Group C Host C – HBA1 Default
Host C – HBA2
Host D – HBA1
Host D – HBA2
● CA Port Group Creation

Refer to "Create FC Port Group" or "Create iSCSI Port Group" in "ETERNUS Web GUI User's Guide" for details.
No. CA Port Group Port

1 CA Port Group X Port#0, Port#1
2 CA Port Group Y Port#2, Port#3
Port#0: CM#0 CA#0 Port#0

● LUN Group Settings

Refer to "Add LUN Group" in "ETERNUS Web GUI User's Guide" for details.
No. LUN host group Host LUN LUN

1 LUN Group XX 0 Vol#1
1 Vol#2
2 Vol#3
2 LUN Group YY 0 Vol#10
1 Vol#11
● Host Affinity Creation

Refer to "Create Host Affinity" in "ETERNUS Web GUI User's Guide" for details.
No. Host group CA port group LUN group Description

1 Host Group A CA Port Group X LUN Group XX A host affinity with the affinity
(Default) mode set to "ON".
2 Host Group B CA Port Group X LUN Group XX A host affinity with the affinity
3 (*1) Host Group C CA Port Group Y LUN Group YY A host affinity with the affinity

No. Host group CA port group LUN group Description

4 (*2) All (Default) CA Port Group Y LUN Group YY A host affinity with the affinity
mode set to "OFF".
*1: Setting example when specifying a host group that accesses LUN Group YY via CA Port Group Y.
*2: Setting example when a host group that accesses LUN Group YY via CA Port Group Y is not specified.
Caution
• In setting example No.4, LUN groups other than "LUN Group YY" cannot be allocated to the "CA Port
Group Y".
• The "CA Port Group Y" for which "All" is selected is already allocated to all the hosts. Therefore, the
"CA Port Group Y" cannot be allocated to the specific host group. (Setting examples No.3 and No.4
cannot be configured in the same environment.)
