CX700 new install
Hi,
I'm new to Clariion and bought CX700 with 2 x DAE2 from ebay to learn. It does not have any Flare OS. I have 5 x 146 FC HDD in one DAE and 15 x 146 in 2nd DAE.
I need to install the Flare release 26 on Ist DAE, I already have Flare code
I Have a Windows server 2003 with powerpath connected to CX. i need a procedure how to install flare first time when there is no OS on the HDD.
You appreciate everone hlep who answer the question

FLARE is a property of EMC and is loaded in a factory with a special procedure and software not available in the field .
The package you have is just a part of the entire flare environment , we use special hidden partition on the first 5 drive for different purpose and this can't be created in the field from scratch .
We have procedure in the field to rebuild this space if they got corrupted but in this case clariion itself already contain a good copy in a particular area where it can be use for reimaging the sp .

For other information about using the array and connecting hosts, there is a lot of documentation available on PowerLink - to start go to:
Home > Support > Technical Documentation and Advisories > Hardware/Platforms Documentation > CLARiiON CX Series Systems
Open the CX700 section
For connecting hosts, go to:
Home > Support > Technical Documentation and Advisories > Host Connectivity/HBAs > Installation/Configuration
For general information about configuring for Best Practices see the following:

because there have utility partitions for recovery flare OS..
you have to help some one who has flare image within some disks(al least 1 or more disks)..
you do better contact EMC or Service-VAR..

Good luck getting a storage array bought off of eBay working
If you bought a non-operational CLARiiON off eBay then you really have no choice but to get EMC to get it working again. Unless you can find someone selling Cx700 vault drives as well.
