About developing a system description

You use SiteConfig to create or modify a system description for the K2 SAN. You can do this in your planning phase, even before you have devices installed or cabled. Your goal is to have the SiteConfig system description accurately represent all aspects of your devices and networks before you begin actually implementing any networking or other configuration tasks.

There are several task flows you can take to develop a system description, as follows:

  • Obtain the sales tool system description. This is the system description that was developed for your specific K2 SAN as part of the sales process. It should be a very accurate representation of the K2 SAN that is to be installed at the customer site. Import the system description into SiteConfig and then make final modifications.
  • Obtain a similar K2 SAN's system description, import it into SiteConfig, and then modify it until it matches your K2 SAN.
  • In SiteConfig, use the New Site Wizard to create a new system description. The wizard has models based on the pre-defined K2 SAN levels. You can enter much of your site-specific information as you work through the wizard, and then do final modifications using other SiteConfig features.

The topics in this manual follow the task flow for the sales tool system description. If you are using a different taskflow, use the topics in this manual as appropriate and refer to the SiteConfig User Manual or SiteConfig Help Topics for additional information.
