EIS Installation Checklist for Oracle FS1 Flash Storage System

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
and not as a replacement for existing documentation.
• It is assumed that the installer has attended the appropriate training classes.
• It is assumed that any Oracle server, to which the storage will be attached, has
been installed according to the appropriate EIS installation checklist.
• This checklist can either be used when installing a new server with storage (in
conjunction with appropriate server checklist) or just ArrayStart when adding a
FS1 System.
• While the FS1 System uses existing hardware, it is also an Engineered System and
the installer should not make any changes to any component (e.g. changing any of
the internal IP addresses).
• It is not intended that this checklist be handed over to the customer.
• Feedback is welcome – refer to the last page of this checklist.

The following additional EIS Installation Checklists may be required:

UNPACKING
Oversee the delivery of the FS1-2. It is the responsibility of the delivery
company to unpack and roll the rack into
place into the data center. The Oracle
FSE should be present for oversight to
ensure that the delivery company follows
proper procedure (e.g. doesn't roll it over a
rough floor).
Save customer information packet There will be a customer information
called “System Record”. packet called “System Record” in a plastic
bag attached to the front of the door panel.
This packet will contain the labels with
the system serial numbers that must be
saved for entitlement purposes.
Verify delivery. • Inspect packaging for shipping damage

The Not Racked option is for customer supplied racks. Racked system
installations skip to the “FS1 System Power Up” section after completing
Inter-Rack cabling if applicable.
NOTE: All components that were ordered MUST be installed before power
up. This includes the Drive Enclosures that the customer may not need at the
time of install.

Controller/Drive Enclosure cabling. Refer to the Hardware Installation Guide
for Oracle FS1 Flash Storage System.
regarding the below:
• There are three types of SAS Cables:
• Controller to Controller
• Controller to IOM
• IOM to IOM
• Balance Enclosures evenly across
HBAs. The HBAs on Controller 1
connect to IOM 0 on the DEs. The
HBAs on Controller 2 connect to IOM
1 on the DEs.
• IOM Port 0 is always the “ingress”
IOM port to the DE. Ports 1 and 2 are
always “egress” ports from the DE.
• A single HBA port can only support
one string, which is a maximum of 5
DEs.
• A string is limited to 5 DEs. The DEs
support the use of 3 IOM ports. No
DE can be more than 3 hops from a
controller HBA.
• IOMs in 2U (Performance) DEs are
inverted making the port orientation
the opposite when going left to right.
IOMs in 4U (Capacity) and DEs are
orientated the same.
• Use same SAS HBA slot/port from
each Controller to the same DE string.
• Refer to the Build Map that is created
by manufacturing and shipped with
each not racked system. This is to be
used in conjunction with the cable
labels on the cables.
