Preface  
This Site Preparation Guide is part of a four-book documentation set that supports installa-  
tion, operation, troubleshooting, and servicing of the StorageTek 9176 and D173 Disk Sub-  
system. The Site Preparation Guide provides order information and some instructions for  
preparing your installation site. To plan for an installation, refer to the Planning Guide, part  
number MO9113Ae.  
System operators and service technicians should use these books and follow all applicable  
site preparation requirements prior to installing the 9176 controller tray and drive tray, or the  
new D173 Disk Subsystem with its Disk Controller Array and drive tray extensions. Readers  
should understand Fiber Channel and network technology and have extensive knowledge of  
computer system operation, maintenance, and repair.  
A portion of the product described in this book is a licensed product of our supplier, which  
due to contractual reasons MUST remain unnamed.  
Design efforts will continue to improve products as new technology, components, software,  
and firmware become available. StorageTek, therefore, reserves the right to change specifi-  
cations without prior notice.  
All features, functions, and operations described herein may not be marketed by StorageTek  
in all parts of the world. In some instances, photographs and figures are of equipment proto-  
types. Therefore, before using this document, consult your StorageTek representative for in-  
formation that is applicable and current.  
StorageTek rebranding has taken place to use the latest Client Server Disk terminology, and  
convert acronyms such as SM7 to OST or OM. Please be aware of this difference when using  
the software and entering directory names or commands.  
Nomenclature  
Disk storage subsystems (referred to in this book) are:  
1. The StorageTek 9176 Disk Subsystem, which comes in three hardware models with for-  
mal names as follows.  
9170 001  
9176 001  
9176 002  
StorageTek 9170 Disk Array  
StorageTek 9176 001 Disk Controller  
StorageTek 9176 002 ENTPR Disk Controller  
2. The StorageTek D173 Disk Subsystem, which comes in two hardware models with for-  
mal names as follows.  
D173 001  
9170 001  
StorageTek D173 Disk Controller Array  
StorageTek 9170-001 or 9170-002 Disk Array  
The storage management software that enables one to assign LUNs, diagnose problems, and

configure and manage the subsystem is called: StorageTek Object Manager. It has various  
software components (for example: Client, Agent, RDAC, NVSRAM, and OMutil for the  
management station) that enable communications between hosts, controllers, drives, and the  
other network devices. All these components must work together for well-orchestrated data  
management and performance. StorageTek and its suppliers have worked hard to validate  
and certify their 9176 and D173 storage subsystem configurations.  
As technical advances are made, the software becomes more sophisticated and capable of  
providing more value for the customer. These new features are described in the StorageTek  
Object Manager Concept Guide, P/N 96035. StorageTek Object Manager is currently at the  
7.10 level, with the 8.0 level staged for release in Q4, 2001. The StorageTek Object Manager  
8.0 Concept Guide is P/N 96067. As new software manuals are released, they will be avail-  
able on the engineering web page at:  
Event monitoring, heterogeneous attach (with additional volumes and storage partitioning  
(aka LUN Mapping) capabilities), path failover, as well as new database features (point-in-  
time copy/snapshot) are explained in the documentation and are available in new software  
offerings from StorageTek.  
This manual primarily covers hardware, and may be thought of as the hardware systems as-  
surance guide. The equivalent software systems assurance guide is the StorageTek Object  
Manager Planning Guide, currently P/N MO9113Ae. This manual lists the system require-  
ments as well as the patches necessary to host your StorageTek hardware and software.  
Education and Training  
A class is available to teach installation and maintenance; and CD ROMs are available to up-  
date students on the latest Disk Subsystem product releases.

About the Site Preparation Guide  
This document provides information about ordering and site requirements for installation  
of the StorageTek9176 and D173 Disk Subsystems.  
Introduction  
The 9176 and D173 come in a 19 inch rackmount cabinet, already configured for the  
host(s). The 9176 always has at least one 9176 controller tray and one 9170 drive tray.  
Officially the controller is called the StorageTek 9176 Disk (or ENTPR Disk) Controller  
and the drive tray is called the 9170 Disk Array, however, throughout the 9176’s set of  
technical documentation, these devices may simply be referred to as a controller tray or  
drive tray.  
The D173 Disk Subsystem is an entry level disk subsystem, which has two 2772 controller  
circuit boards installed into a drive tray. This combination is now called a D173 Disk  
Controller Array. One or two 9170 Disk Array “extensions” may be added for a maximum  
total of 30 drives (available in 72GB or 180GB drive module sizes). The D173 also uses  
the 7.10 level of Object Manager, which enables customers to activate the heterogeneous  
storage environment capabilities. Simply put, this allows one to network their storage with  
a variety of different kinds of operating systems, for example Solaris, Windows NT,  
Windows 2000, HP-UX, AIX, SGI, LINUX, and Netware.  
When ordering Disk Subsystems it is important to be aware of performance vs. capacity.  
Customers may strive for low cost—buying based on cost per MB; or they may purchase a  
higher numbers of spindles and smaller drive sizes for higher performance. Or, they may  
select factors (such as cache) to improve performance, but yet keep costs down. Also  
bandwidth is primarily a factor of the number of controllers and paths from the host to the  
backend storage. Please be aware of all of these issues when helping customers, so that we  
place the best possible solution into the customer’s business environment.  
Various types of hardware and software components can be ordered depending on your  
business needs. The following section provides some information to facilitate your  
decision making, and help you select the right hardware (and software components) for  
your computing environment.  
To fully understand this guide and all other technical documents, it is recommended that  
system operators and service technicians have extensive knowledge of Fibre Channel and  
network technology.

Order Information  
When ordering via the Siebel configurator or manually, you will need to make a decision  
on:  
what kind of rackmount cabinet you want  
the amount of storage needed  
the type of channel cable to use  
the amount of hosts you want to attach to your storage.  
Assuming you want 720 Gigabytes of storage, and have 2 servers running a Solaris  
operating environment, you might decide to order:  
an M03 rackmount cabinet, which may be referred to as CBNT M03. The feature  
code (M03R) will need to be entered into the ordering system that you are using.  
NOTE  
It would also be perfectly acceptable to order the CBNT M02 (M02R)  
with this example. In either case, if using the Siebel configurator, the  
system will automatically bring up the next selections for you.  
one 9176 controller (feature code 9176-002) with 512 MB cache, which enables  
you to connect to 4 host inputs and operate with higher bandwidth (greater  
performance). This configuration also enables you to grow your storage as your  
business grows.  
two 9170 disk arrays (feature code 9170-001) with ten 36 gigabyte drives each. The  
feature code for this selection will need to be ordered 4 times (10 X 2 X 36 = 720  
gigabytes).  
NOTE  
One could also select one 9170 disk array with ten 72 gigabyte drives, or  
one drive tray only five 180 gigabyte drives. 180 GB drives can maximize  
your cost per MB; however, it puts more data on fewer spindles and may  
reduce the overall performance of your disk subsystem.  
three Host Kits with HBAs and drivers, as needed based on the type of servers you  
have. For example two HBAs for one server, and one HBA for the other could  
require that you choose a Sun PCI card for FC optical (shortwave) cables (feature  
code SPG3).  
three 50 meter Fibre Channel optical (shortwave) cables (feature code OA13) to  
attach the HBAs to your 9176 Disk Subsystem. Two FC cables will go to the  
redundant controllers and provide path failover (see page 4) capability for the entire  
path between the host and the back end RAID storage.  
Refer to Appendix A, which has a portion of the information contained on the Product  
Configuration Document (PCD), or go to the StorageTek KnowledgeMap for the latest  
information on feature codes.

Path Failover  
StorageTek Disk Subsystem’s use the storage management software package known as  
StorageTek Object Manager 7.10. It contains OMclient, OMagent, OMutil, and RDAC.  
The first three software applications handle the organization and monitoring of data; and  
RDAC is essentially the “path manager” working along with NVSRAM and AVT to route  
server-requested information over any path possible.

NOTE  
RDAC works on Windows NT, 2000, and on Solaris platforms. Other servers/  
operating systems have a similar host-specific software application.  
In the event of a loss of a hardware device or cable-path along the way, alternate paths  
may be used. RDAC maintains a list machine names, and automatically inquires and links  
to them via alternate paths when the primary path is lost. The following illustration depicts  
how RDAC (and its companion software) works.

See Appendix A for more feature codes for the StorageTek 9176 Disk Subsystem. When  
ordering a storage subsystem, it is advised that you create a system floorplan and measure  
the cable-layout distances between your host servers, hubs, switches, and the storage  
subsystems. Also remember that there are network trade-offs that you may face depending  
on what you attach and how you attach it. Performance is limited by your bandwidth; and  
both network activity and storage capacity have an impact on your overall system  
performance. Consult you StorageTek representative for advice on how best to configure  
your computing network.  
StorageTek’s partitioning software can also help ensure that your network runs as  
efficiently as possible; and the right marriage between hardware and software is of  
paramount importance to StorageTek and your business operations.  
A new heterogeneous level of Object Manager 7.10 software is now available. This  
software, in combination with the 4.01 level of firmware enables multiple hosts to be  
attached to a StorageTek Disk subsystem. Host attachments may now have up to 16  
storage partitions with a maximum of 32 volumes per partition, and up to a maximum of  
128 volumes overall. For more information, refer to the reference documents and to the  
power point 9176 configuration presentation, P/N 96034.  
NOTE  
This presentation, as well as the D173 configuration presentation, can be  
downloaded from the engineering web pages.

Cabinet Description  
StorageTek provides a 19 inch rackmount cabinet for the Disk Storage environment. The  
cabinet conform to the EIA-310-D standard using the modular unit U to indicate panel  
height. The unit U equals 44.45mm or 1.75 inches. The CBNT M03 is a fixed 39U size. It  
allow you to easily add more storage in the future. The Siebel configurator will not allow  
you to go beyond 39U of space without ordering an additional cabinet. Each 445 mm wide  
9176 Disk Controller uses 4U of internal vertical space and each 449 mm wide 9170 Disk  
Array or D173 Disk Controller Array uses 3U of internal vertical space.  
NOTE  
StorageTek’s earlier M01 and M02 cabinets are both being discontinued. Most  
of the same information applies, however, they will soon be replaced with new  
more cost-efficient cabinets once current stock has been depleted.  
CBNT M03 Power Source  
Each cabinet has redundant power distribution, and comes with two different types of AC  
power connections.  
The CBNT M03 is connected to the AC power source by a NEMA power cord on all  
North American installations. The customer (or local StorageTek office) is to provide the  
power connector for all International installations.  
The cabinet's power distribution unit (PDU) supplies AC power to the installed devices.  
The following lists the feature codes and part numbers for the cabinet’s power cords.

Unique Situations  
Customer Cabinets In the event that you are installing into existing customer  
cabinets, make sure that they are 19 in. (482.6 mm) rackmount cabinets that conform to  
EIA-310-D. Also ensure that mounting rails accommodate a minimum internal width of  
45 cm (17.72 in.) and a depth of at least 51.5 cm (20.3 in.). At this minimum depth, you  
need unobstructed rear cabinet access for the removal of FRUs (otherwise you will have to  
remove the 9176 controller or 9170 disk array to allow room to remove FRUs from the  
back of the units). Ideally, it is more practical to have at least 66 cm (26 in.) of depth to  
allow adequate space to remove FRUs.  
NOTE  
StorageTek’s adjustable mounting rails require 450 mm (17.72 in.) width  
between front-facing vertical mounting flanges. Also the depth from the front to  
the back mounting flange must be between 660 mm (26 in) to 787 mm (31 in).  
Most cabinets have their own custom mounting rails, which may be used, provided they  
have enough shelf support to accommodate weight, device widths from 445 mm to 450  
mm (17.5 to 17.7 inches), and depths of at least 660 mm (26 in.) without obstructions.  
Floor and Ceiling Mounting In some customer sites, the cabinet may be required to  
be secured to the floor. The M03 rackmount cabinets has a total of eight weld-nuts  
underneath the baseplate. You may use 1/2-13 bolts to secure a mounting bracket to the  
baseplate. At least four holes are available to secure the cabinet to the floor, and two holes  
are available to secure to the ceiling. Refer to the M03 Rackmount Cabinet User’s Guide  
for hole locations and more information about this feature.

Wiring and Power  
The StorageTek 9176/D173 Disk Subsystem typically comes in its own rackmount cabinet  
with all internal power is supplied via the cabinet’s power distribution unit (PDU).  
StorageTek provides a rackmount cabinet user’s guides specific to the customer’s needs.  
StorageTek service representatives may obtain this manual (P/N 95932) from “Documents  
on CD”, or download it from the engineering web page. Specific power requirements are  
spelled out in this manual.  
StorageTek 9176 Disk Controller  
The 9176 Disk Controller is a 120/220 VAC, 50/60 Hz unit that meets standard voltage  
requirements for both domestic (USA) and international operation. It uses standard  
industrial wiring with a line-to-neutral power connection. See Table 7 for nonstandard  
installations.  
Earth ground - The unit must be properly grounded including an earth ground  
conductor on the AC power source.  
Circuit overloading - Make sure the power circuits and associated circuit breakers in  
the cabinet and building provide sufficient power and overload protection. To prevent  
possible damage to the unit, isolate its power source from large switching loads (for  
example, an air conditioning motor, elevator motor, factory equipment).  
Power interruptions - The unit will withstand the following voltage interruptions:  
Input transient (50% of nominal voltage), Duration (one half-cycle), Minimum  
frequency (once every 10 seconds).  
Power failures - Once power is restored after a complete power failure, the unit  
automatically performs a power-up recovery sequence without operator intervention.  
Power Supply voltage range - Wide-ranging, redundant 175 W power supplies  
operate on 90-264 VAC at 50 or 60 Hz. The DCPS meets international requirements,  
and can operate at any voltage with the specified range.

NOTE  
When we take actual readings, we discover that the actual current is slightly less  
than the rating plate. This ensures that we never understate current and power  
consumption, especially with various unknowns. As shown above, the actual  
maximum operating power is slightly less than the maximum operating current  
multiplied by the current (220V times 1A=220VA), however, when calculating  
the maximum operating power, we recommend that you use the KVA figures  
shown in Table 10 and Table 11.  
StorageTek 9170 Disk Array and D173 Disk Controller Array  
The 9170/D173 drive tray is a 120/220 VAC, 50/60 Hz unit that meets standard voltage  
requirements for domestic and international operation. It uses standard industrial wiring  
with a line-to-neutral power connection (see Table 9). When installing a 9170/D173 (drive  
tray), review the following specifications.  
Earth ground - The drive tray requires an earth ground conductor on the AC power  
source.  
AC power source - The AC power source must provide the correct voltage, current,  
and frequency specified by the manufacturer. If you plug the drive tray into an internal  
AC distribution unit, make sure the internal unit can handle the power requirements.  
Redundant AC Power, nominal 100 volt - In order to meet power requirements and  
maintain power redundancy, you should connect the drive tray to 90–136 volt, 15 Amp  
circuits with:  
three or fewer drive trays - using two, 90–136 volt, 15 Amp circuits. On each  
9170, connect one power supply to one circuit and the other power supply to a  
second circuit.

four or more drive trays - using four, 90–136 volt, 15 Amp circuits. Connect half  
of the 9170 drive trays to two circuits and the remaining drive trays to the other two  
circuits. Make sure that each drive tray connects to two different circuits (one per  
power supply).  
Redundant AC Power, nominal 240 volt - Use two 200–264 volt, 15 Amp circuits.  
Connect one power supply from each drive tray to one circuit and the other power  
supplies to the second circuit.  
Power supply voltage ranges - The auto-ranging power supplies automatically match  
the voltage range (120 VAC or 220 VAC) to the AC power source. This means that you  
can switch the 9170 power supplies to alternative power source voltages (120 VAC to  
220 VAC).  
CAUTION  
Wait at least 10 seconds between each voltage change before powering up  
the drive tray to prevent damage to the power supplies.

9170/D173 Current Rating  
The 9170 and D173 are rated at 3.6 amperes at 120 volts and 1.8 amperes at 240 volts.  
Actual current drawn varies slightly depending on the number and type of drive modules  
you have installed. Drive modules rated at 1.2 amperes at 12 volts DC have little impact  
on the overall rating of the 9170 Disk Array operating on a 220 volt circuit.  
NOTE  
StorageTek’s 9170/D173 drive modules have been designed for a staggered  
start-up since this is the time of the greatest current demand. This helps ensure  
that current does not exceed design ratings during power up.

9176/D173 Disk Subsystem Current Calculations  
With the 9176 Disk Controller (at 220v) pulling one ampere and the 9170 or D173 each  
pulling 1.8 amperes, a rackmount cabinet with one controller and ten disk arrays would  
draw a total of 19 amperes. These amps are supplied by two grids of the power distribution  
unit (PDU), with each grid rated at 16 amps. The lower grid would supply one controller  
and five disk arrays (1 + 1.8 + 1.8 + 1.8 + 1.8 + 1.8) for a total of 10 amps, and the upper  
grid would supply the remaining five disk arrays (5 times 1.8) for a total of 9 amps. A 30  
drive D173 Disk Subsystem (with its 20 amp PDU) pulls 5.4 amps (11 amps at 110v).  
9176/D173 Disk Subsystem Maximum Operating Power  
Calculations  
When calculating maximum operating power (the time just after the start-up power time  
zone), use 329 VA for the 9176 Disk Controller and 495 VA for the 9170 Disk Array and  
D173 Controller Disk Array as shown in Table 10 and Table 11.  
For example, if calculating for a fully configured 9176 Disk Subsystem with two hundred  
72 Gigabytes drive (i.e. twenty 9170 Disk Arrays), one would add the controller’s 0.329  
KVA to twenty times the disk array’s 0.495 KVA. The formula becomes:  
0.329 + 20 (0.495) = 0.329 + 9.90 = 10.23 KVA  
The maximum operating power consumption, therefore, for a fully configured 14.4  
Terabyte 9176 Disk Subsystem (1 disk controller and 20 disk arrays) is 10.23 KVA.  
Knowing that 10.23 KVA is the maximum operating power, we can figure the current for  
the two cabinets as follows.  
a 240 volt source would draw 42.6 amps  
a 220 volt source would draw 46.5 amps  
a 200 volt source would draw 51.1 amps.  
NOTE  
The ratings of the individual drive modules (pulling 1.4 amps at 5 volts DC and  
1.7 amps at 12 volts DC) mean that the 9170 power supplies provide this current  
(via the midplane) to all of the drive modules. The AC current drawn by the  
9170 power supplies is essentially what is documented in Table 10 and Table 11.  
Basically, the "load" is the controller modules, fan modules, and all ten drive  
modules. Each of these 9170 components adds up to a combined maximum of  
2.1 amps of AC current drawn at 240 volts. Note also that the relationship  
between AC and DC power requires one to use the .707 or 1.414 conversion  
factors. Use this to interpret such statements as: (0.495 kVA or 350.0 W).

Power Cord Routing Notes  
Review this power cord routing information before installing a StorageTek 9176 or D173  
rackmount device (controller tray or drive tray).  
Rackmount Power  
The D173 rackmount cabinet has two power grids in a caboose-mounted power  
distribution unit (PDU); and the 9176 (M03) rackmount cabinet has two AC power  
distribution units mounted vertically along the side members. Each separate grid (see  
photograph, Figure 4) or PDU enables power redundancy to the Disk Subsystem hardware  
components, ensuring ongoing data access in the event of a power failure to one of the  
customer-supplied circuits (assuming two separate power sources/circuits).  
Figure 4 D173 PDU for distributing Power to Devices throughout the Cabinet  
NOTE  
The following illustrations show various PDU power connectors available  
that attach to the customer-supplied power receptacles.  
The customer’s power source should come from separate and isolated  
power circuits to maximize power redundancy and optimize the Disk  
Subsystem data availability.

Rackmount Considerations  
The rackmount cabinet’s PDU supplies power for the left or the right sides of each  
redundant device’s DC power supply. The 9176 Disk Controller, 9170 Disk Array, and  
D173 Disk Controller Array have their own power cord. The StorageTek Disk Subsystems  
come fully intact, however, if additional storage devices are to be added to the cabinet, you  
will need to route power cords and FC cables to the controller tray or drive tray. Refer to  
the appropriate rackmount cabinet user’s guide and to the StorageTek 9176 Installation  
Guide or D173 User’s Guide for further information.  
NOTE  
These documents are available online through StorageTek’s Customer  
Resource Center (CRC), on StorageTek’s Documents on CD, and comes  
on the CD that accompanies the product.  
IMPORTANT  
To ensure redundancy, connect the PDUs in the cabinet to two,  
independent power sources. Connect the power cords from each tray to  
separate PDUs or PDU grids in the cabinet.  
Illustrations are provided in the Installation Guide to facilitate non-StorageTek cabinet  
installations. Whenever possible, use the Fibre Channel cable routing shown to ensure that  
the StorageTek Object Manager diagnostics identify the hardware components properly.  
This will facilitate troubleshooting (properly identifying the faulty component) of your  
StorageTek Disk Subsystem, if it becomes necessary.  
Component redundancy and path redundancy enable your StorageTek Disk Subsystem to  
be available to you 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year (366 days on  
leap years). For best results, ensure that your hardware components are monitored through  
Object Manager software or similiar storage management application. Also make sure that  
your installation has adequate service and cooling clearances, and adheres to all power and  
environmental requirements.

Controller Tray and Drive Tray Connectors  
This section provides an overview of the controller tray and drive tray connectors, which  
you will use to cable either type of tray to your storage subsystem.  
The controller tray has three types of interface connectors (Figure 8).  
Host interface connectors: Fiber Channel (FC) (fiber optic or copper wire). The  
controller tray has four pairs of host interface connectors (two pairs per controller),  
which support host loop configurations requiring dual cables. Each pair of connectors  
is housed in it own host interface card canister.  
Drive interface connectors: FC (fiber optic or copper wire). The controller tray has  
four pairs of drive interface connectors for support of drive loop configurations  
requiring dual cables. Each pair of connectors is housed in it own drive interface card  
canister.  
Secondary (diagnostic) interface connectors: RS-232 (serial) or Ethernet. The  
controller tray interfaces provides RS-232 (serial) and Ethernet connections to each  
controller for use in diagnostics, troubleshooting, and special configurations.

Host Interface Connectors  
The controller tray contains four host interface cards. The cards can be GBIC (gigabit  
interface card) or DB-9 cards. A GBIC card contains a pair of GBIC interface connectors,  
which interface the controller to fibre optic or copper fibre host cables. A DB-9 card  
contains a pair of DB-9 interface modules, which interface the controller to copper fibre  
host cables. Figure 9 shows the host interface card slots populated with GBIC cards and  
the drive interface card slots populated with DB-9 cards  
The interface cards connect to the controller in pairs. Cards 0 and 2 connect to the top  
controller (controller A) and Cards 1 and 3 connect to the bottom controller (controller B)  
(Figure 9). To ensure redundancy, you must connect each host to both controllers through  
the appropriate interface card.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Controller Tray and Drive Tray Connectors  
Drive Interface Connectors  
The controller tray contains four GBIC or DB-9 host interface cards aka drive minihub  
cards. Figure 10 shows DB-9 cards in each drive interface card slot. Each card contains  
two GBIC or DB-9 connectors respectively and supports 8-bit and 16-bit interface  
protocol.  
Each interface card represents a single drive channel. The drive channels are set up in  
pairs to support redundant drive loop configurations, or two data paths to each drive. Each  
pair of channels can support up to 10 drive trays, containing 10 drives apiece, or a  
maximum of 100 drives. Thus, a fully configured controller tray can support up to 20 drive  
trays (10 drive trays per channel pair), or a maximum of 200 drives.  
NOTE  
72 gigabyte drives would equal a total storage capacity of 14.4 terabytes. Note:  
Some of this storage capacity is used to format the drives. 180 gigabyte drives  
would equal 36 terabytes of 9176 storage capacity; however, StorageTek  
encourages individuals to be aware of the performance requirements as well as  
the time required to conduct a backup before maximizing storage capacity.  
You can connect the drive channel cables to either the upper or lower connectors on  
each card. Leave the remaining connector on each card unoccupied for future upgrades  
(Figure 10).

9170-001 Interface Components  
The 9170-001 drive tray has four interface connectors— two on each Channel Card  
Module (see Figure 12). The 9170 FC cables use HSSDC to HSSDC connectors to route  
data, providing copper fibre cables’ performance and reliability to the 9170 Disk Arrays.

Figure 12 9170’s Channel Card - Interface Connectors  
Refer to the StorageTek™ 9170 Disk Array User’s Guide (P/N 95960) for information  
about status lights, and cabling going from the 9176 Disk Controller to the 9170 Disk  
Array.  
Briefly, the 9176 Fibre Channel cable used to attach from the controller to the 9170 array  
uses a FC cable with a DB-9 connector at the controller end and a HSSDC connector at the  
drive tray end. With ten drive trays in one cabinet, four DB-9 to HSSDC FC cables are  
used (two short and two long). This creates two sets of redundant FC loops, which attach  
to opposite ends of the 9170’s drive trays. This enables data to be accessed in the event of  
a catastrophic failure that terminates the FC loop in midstream.  
Unique installations using two cabinets and more than ten StorageTek 9170 Disk Arrays  
are possible. In this case it is important to balance your loads so that each Fibre Channel  
loop is driving equal amounts of storage. StorageTek Manufacturing will set up the  
cabinets for best performance, and this or a similiar balanced configuration should be  
maintained.  
Refer to the StorageTek D173 Disk Subsystem User’s Guide (P/N 96032) for its connector  
and status light information.

Controller and Array Cable Requirements  
Table 12 lists the cable requirements for controller and drive cable connections. For  
performance sake of the interface card, you can use either fibre optic or twisted-pair  
copper cable for host connections, depending on your host to storage subsystem distances.  
Fibre Channel copper cables are used to make the 9170 drive connections.  
To connect fibre optic host or drive cables to the controller tray, you must use GBIC host  
or drive interface cards. To connect twisted-pair copper cables, you use a copper GBIC  
with either a DB-9 or HSSDC cable connection port, and for fibre channel (glass) you use  
the fibre channel GBIC.  
NOTE  
The appropriate style of GBIC is provided based on the type of HBA that you  
order. The configurator automatically select the cable and GBIC If, however,  
you are installing a hub or switch you may have to modify your order.  
It is possible to use both types of cables on the same controller tray for host or drive  
connections as long as you use the appropriate type of GBIC interface card (see  
illustrations below) for the respective type of cable.

Installing the Hardware  
Host Adapters  
You can connect hosts to the controller tray using either a single-or dual-bus configuration  
(Figure 13). In a single-bus configuration, each host connects to only one controller. In a  
dual-bus configuration, each host connects to both controllers. The dual-bus configuration  
provides the greatest controller and path redundancy protection if a connection or  
hardware problem occurs.  
To prepare for the StorageTek Disk Subsystem storage installation, always do the  
following as applicable to your network configuration:  
Refer to the documentation provided with your host adapters (HBA) for installation  
requirements and procedures.  
Use the correct host adapter driver. Refer to the particular software (operating system)  
installation guide and README file (or CD insert) on the StorageTek 9176 or D173  
installation CD for information on supported host adapters and drivers. StorageTek’s  
customer support organization maintains a configuration matrix, which lists all tested  
and approved HBAs and drivers.  
NOTE  
See appendix A, and refer to the KnowledgeMap, which has connectivity  
information. New platform host attachments are being added; and each has a  
specific and unique installation process. A host-specific CD is available from  
StorageTek for each platform you wish to attach to.  
Single-Bus Configurations  
For single-bus configurations, install a single- or dual-channel host adapter on each host.  
Dual-Bus Configurations (recommended)  
For dual-bus configurations, do either of the following:  
Install two, single-channel host adapters in each host, or  
Install one, two-channel host adapter in each host.  
IMPORTANT  
Make sure each host adapter and controller has a unique ID. If installing  
two host adapters per host for a dual-bus configuration, select the same  
Host ID on each host to prevent conflicts.

Other Hardware  
Additional hardware you will need to install depends on whether you use the host-agent  
method (Figure 14 and Figure 16) or the direct-manage (Figure 15 and Figure 17) method  
to manage the Disk storage subsystem. Refer to the disk subsystem power point  
configuration presentation, P/N 96034; and to the concept guide, P/N 96035 for more  
information with information on heterogeneous configurations .  
If using the host-agent attached (aka host-agent manage) method, do the following:  
Install one or more management stations (if not already installed).  
Install a software agent host.  
If using the direct network attached (aka direct manage) method, do the following:  
Install one or more management stations (if not already installed).  
Attach Ethernet cables to each management station — one pair for each controller tray  
in the storage array. Leave the opposite end of these cables unconnected for now. You  
will connect each cable to each controller when you install the controller tray.  
StorageTek Disk Subsystem - Installation and Service
