INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW

This course is the next generation of the SAN Implementation Workshop course which focuses on Windows Server 2008 R2, vSphere (ESX 5.0), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6 Update 1. The exercise environment really requires 3 x86-64 servers. However, do to the current exercise environment constraints we only have 1 x86-64 servers and so the server will have to be rebuilt every night. The following table reflects this: Day 1 2 3 Platform Server 1 Server 1 Server 1 Operating System Windows Server 2008 R2 vSphere (ESX 5.0) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1

EXPECTED QUALIFICATIONS

This document is written for instructors, course developers, and systems administrators who are responsible for preparing learning labs and establishing instructor tasks that help ensure that various lab components are appropriately prepared. It is assumed that there is an appropriate level of expertise and some level of familiarity with the installation and configuration of multiple operating systems, and that the individual can perform a new installation of Data ONTAP. NOTE: This document does not cover deploying lab components: IP addressing, host names, or machine specifics, except when specifically required to successfully set up a lab.
RECOMMENDED PREREQUISITES

It is helpful when setting up labs to have a basic understanding of Data ONTAP fundamentals.
TERMINOLOGY

Application serverThe hardware and software installed to perform a specific function; the hardware can be either a stand-alone server or a hypervisor that emulates the hardware Application softwareSoftware applications and services installed or enabled after the operating system is installed; some examples include Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Office, Systems Manager, and Putty Host operating system (OS)The primary operating system installed on the server Storage networkStorage area network (SAN) and network-attached storage (NAS)

DETAILED INSTALLATION STEPS

NETAPP STORAGE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION STEP ACTION

1.

Check connectivity from the Windows desktop to the storage system via: OnCommand System Manager 2.0 Telnet Console (Terminal Server for console connection is optional.) Example: To connect using OnCommand System Manager 2.0: 1. Launch System Manager 2. Discover the storage systems 3. Right-click on the discovered storage system and login to the controller To connect from the Windows desktop to the storage system via telnet: 1. Open a CMD window on the students Windows desktop 2. Telnet to the IP address of the storage system Example: H:\>telnet [ip address or host name of storage system] To connect from the Windows desktop to the storage system console port: 1. Open a CMD window on the students Windows desktop 2. Telnet to the ip address of the terminal server and the port of the storage system separate ip address and storage system port number with a space Example: H:\> telnet [console IP address of terminal server] <console port> Set options: At the command line of the storage system, ensure AutoSupport to administrators and AutoSupport to NetApp is turned off. Example: storage> options autosupport.enable off storage> options autosupport.support.enable off
