Celerra NS20 fresh install

Hello,

Does anybody know how to do fresh install on Celerra NS20 system?

Powerlink has no suchinformation in documentation.

After installing Linux Station 1.0 setup is trying to complete NAS installation but it always fails.

I'm using Intergated mode.

Both options for Fiberchannel support give different errors.

If I select Fiberchannel "enabled" I got error on searching existing RG/LUN:

Backend backup server not found.

If I select Fiberchannel "disabled" I got error on setup Enclosure step:

===============================================================================
                        Starting EMC NAS Factory Installation
===============================================================================
Setting up the Enclosure...
ERROR setting up the enclosure...
Executing -initSystem option force mode

Cannot find any Mgmtswitch in this system
Error: resetMgmtswitches FAIL (EDISCOVER)
Error: initSystem FAIL (EDISCOVER)
Error: INITSYSTEM_CMD retval = -4 (EDISCOVER)

I tried to run setups from cdrom:

sh nas_install can be running only 1 time and gives error:

Disabling crond...

crond is stopped

## Executing preinstall script.

emcnas Package Install...

Continuing with the "emcnas" install...

ERROR: Could not create the NAS Partition on /dev/nde1

Execution of preinstall script failed

/bin/emcrpm: Error: /mnt/source/EMC/nas/emcnas-5.5.31-6.i386.rpm install failed

Other attemps to run sh nas_install gives errors:

Unable to rebuild emcnas database

2nd setup is sh S95nas. It tries setup Enclosure and gives errors listed above or the following:

===============================================================================

    Hi,

    please work directly with EMC support or your service partner.

    Re-Installing DART on a NS-20 is not a customer supported activity.

    Also 5.5.31 is ancient (2007) and no longer support - you need to get at least the latest 5.6 version

    Typically when the install fails then either the cabling is incorrect or the backend isnt cleaned up properly.

    regards

    Rainer
