How to install Veritas Access 3340 NAS/DAS Storage System

• Prepare the hardware environment: Rack-mount the appliance in a suitable data center or server room, ensure proper power provisioning, cooling, and network connectivity. Confirm compatibility with existing infrastructure and plan for growth.
• Power up and connect: Connect power and network interfaces to the management network and any production networks required for file access, protocols, and data movement. Verify cabling and switch configurations align with your topology.
• Initial hardware configuration: Access the system console or management interface to perform initial hardware checks, set administrator credentials, and configure basic networking parameters (IP address, gateway, DNS). Establish the baseline health status before software provisioning.
• Install and activate software: Deploy Veritas Access on the 3340 platform and apply the appropriate licenses. Confirm that the software recognizes the storage hardware, and validate that the software-defined control plane is active and communicating with the management console.
• Create storage pools and namespaces: Define storage pools, identify performance tiers, and create namespaces or shares according to your data management policies. Apply governance rules, retention policies, and access controls to align with organizational requirements.
• Configure data protection and access policies: Implement backup, replication, tiering, and data protection policies. Enable security features such as RBAC, encryption options if available, and auditing to ensure compliance with corporate governance standards.
• Verify performance and health: Run baseline performance tests, monitor I/O throughputs, latency, and resource utilization. Validate that all services (file, object, or block access as applicable) are reachable and functioning as expected for end users and applications.
• Operational handoff and documentation: Document the configuration, access credentials, and policy settings. Provide administrators with a runbook for day-to-day operations, maintenance windows, and escalation procedures.
