The ETERNUS CS200c PBBA (Purpose-Built Backup Appliance), based on Fujitsu hardware and CommVault Simpana data protection software, has been developed in order to make such investment as simple as possible over the complete process - from sales up to daily operating.Based on the approach “Simplicity is the key”, the main focus of the ETERNUS CS200c functionality is on: Make selling and sizing easy by thinking in “building blocks” Reduce deployment effort, such as time, skills and customer involvement Simplify integration within customer’s environment; make it tight Seamless incorporation of server, storage, operating system and the data protection software Easy to configure, deploy and administrate Easy to scale and maintain As an appliance, the ETERNUS CS200c is based on a PRIMERGY server, delivered to the customer with ready-to-run installed Windows operating system and CommVault Simpana data protection software. To protect customer’s data, 2 TB disk based backend storage is included in the smallest configuration. Backend storage capacity can be increased in well-defined steps up to a maximum configuration with 96 TB. One of the ETERNUS LT series tape libraries can be added as an option. The default software configuration covers the roles of Simpana CommServe manager with media agent and single node deduplication engine in one box. Further ETERNUS CS200c appliances as additional media agent with integrated backend storage can be added to expand capacity or performance for the complete CommCell. From the licensing viewpoint, all the required licenses for the Windows operating system and the Simpana data protection software are also included. ETERNUS CS200c uses a new Simpana capacity-based backend storage licensing model. The customer thus no longer has to count and monitor front-end terabytes. The Simpana license for the ordered backend capacity is always included. Depending on the functionality, a foundation or an advanced license version is available which covers client data agents for the main operating systems, application integration for the common databases and application, snapshot protection and virtualization support. 1.2 Target group for the document This document describes the steps required for a successful setup of the ETERNUS CS200c backup appliance on the customer premises. It provides technical information regarding prerequisites, installation and configuration. The document is mainly designed for technical post-sales people who have to carry out the installation. A good understanding of CommVault Simpana software and the Windows operating system combined with basic knowledge about PRIMERGY server systems is assumed. The document is a Fujitsu internal paper which must not be disclosed outside the company. 1.3 Product history December 2014 1.4 ETERNUS CS200c S1 First release 26.1.2015 Initial release Document history Version 1.0 Page 2 of 56 http://www.fujitsu.com/fts/eternus http://www.fujitsu.com/fts/ETERNUS Technical Paper 2 Fujitsu ETERNUS CS200c installation and configuration guide Professional service actions The ETERNUS CS200c was sold to the customer as a ready-to-run data protection appliance. With the first series now available, the ETERNUS CS200c is delivered with pre-deployed hardware. The system is fully equipped with the required host bus adapters, disks, etc. at the right slot. The software, Windows 2012 R2 operating system and Simpana v10 are also preinstalled. The main tasks for the professional service colleagues on the customer premises is the configuration of the Windows operating system, followed by the basic Simpana setup with client rollout and their configuration. Service details The main tasks are: Mount the ETERNUS CS200c in the rack o PRIMERGY system o Optional ETERNUS JX40 and ETERNUS LT o Add all the cabling for power, LAN and SAN o Configure iRMC for remote system access o Carry out the basic Windows configuration (network, AD integration, Simpana administrator account, …) Simpana configuration o Install the “CommServe with Media Agent” or “Media Agent only” role o Make the basic CommServe configuration (licensing, disk libraries, policies, …) o Run a test backup of the local server (ETERNUS CS200c) o Roll out the clients and configure them o Run a test backup for each client The work, described in this paper, is part of the general tasks defined in the “CS200c PS Deployment Service datasheet”.

After power on, the first step is to carry out the iRMC network configuration. To do this, connect keyboard, mouse and monitor to the CS200c and power on the system. The iRMC network configuration is available in the system BIOS (press F2 to enter the setup). Alternatively, without keyboard mouse and monitor, the iRMC must be placed in a LAN with DHCP and dynamic DNS enabled. These prerequisites enable a connection with the name <IRMCxxxxxxxx> where xxxxxxxx represents the last three bytes of the MAC address of the iRMC. The MAC address of the iRMC can be taken from the sticker on the top right corner of the CS200c housing or from the green label on the front of the CS200c. After the configuration, use Internet Explorer or another web browser to connect to the iRMC with http://<IP-Address>. Default login is user “admin” with password “admin”. Click on “console redirection (JWS)” for the console access. To power on the system go to the “Power Management” menu. 3.2 Windows setup Please power on the system for the first time. Windows only carries out internal tasks and initiates a reboot after some minutes. Windows then asks for the system language and keyboard layout. As language, English or German is available.

Default is “CS200c”. After clicking on finish, the system enters the normal operating mode and the administrator can login to continue the configuration. After login, an empty cmd window is seen. This is from the diskpart script. Then the first question for automatic device connection via network appears. Should be answered with “no” or with “yes” if customer agrees. The two applications are now started automatically, the server manager and the Simpana appliance setup. Do not close the Simpana appliance setup window because you need it later on.
