EIS Installation Checklist for Axiom AX300/AX500 to AX600

(Slammer Conversion 5.x)

Customer:
Sales Order Number:
CASE Number:
Technician:
Version EIS-DVD:
Date:

It is recommend that the EIS web pages are checked for the latest version of this
checklist prior to commencing the installation.
It is assumed that the installation is carried out with the help of the current EIS-
DVD. See EIS web pages for current information and status.
It is expected that the planning / preparation phase be carried out with the help of
EISdoc V4 (available from the EIS website).
The idea behind this checklist is to help the installer achieve a "good" installation.
It is assumed that the installer has attended the appropriate training classes.
This checklist only covers the hardware installation of the Pillar Slammer
conversion at Axiom Release R5.0 or higher. R5 does not currently support NAS,
so at this time this only covering SAN.
The Base WWN and Service Type of the existing Ax500 Slammers must be
obtained and provided to Oracle Manufacturing as part of the order for the
replacement Ax600 Slammers.
Determine Service Type. The Service Type is nas_optical, nas_copper, or
san. Release 5.x does not support NAS. If the current service type is nas_copper
or nas_optical, inform the account team, as the system cannot be converted at
Release 5.x).
The Axiom software Release to be used for the Slammer Conversion will be
provided by the Support Center.
This procedure assumes familiarity with Axiom hardware, software upgrade
procedures, Pillar CS software utilities, Slammer Console and accessing Axiom
documentation such as the Axiom Service Guide from the Axiom Pilot.
If a replacement SAN Slammer contains 8 Gb FC NIMs, the WWN of the external
FC port connections to the customer fabric will change. This may require some
reconfiguration of the external SAN. The WWN information is available in the
GUI after the Slammer conversion. If the SAN switch is using soft zoning, inform
the customer that switch re-zoning will need to be done and the SAN administrator
must be available to do the rezoning after the Slammer conversion.
If there is a FalconStor or similar appliance that encodes the model number for
LUN identification, make arrangements for reconfiguring these devices. The
Axiom returns the Axiom Model as ASCII Product Identification in Bytes 16-31
of the SCSI Inquiry response and this will change on the Slammer conversion.
The values for Bytes 16-31 are Axiom 500, which will change to Axiom 600.
It is not intended that this checklist be handed over to the customer.
