Clustering support Clustering is a means of sharing array groups among controllers to provide redundancy of controllers and servers. This redundancy is important if a hardware component fails. If a hardware component failure occurs in a cluster, another server takes ownership of the array group. Clustering requires software specific to your operating system. For more information about clustering, go to the following Web site: www.pc.ibm.com/us/compat/nos/matrix.
Your DS4100 storage server has 14 hard disk drive slots; any drive slots not containing hard disk drives will contain blank drive trays. Each of the 14 drive slots must always contain either a blank tray or a hard disk drive. – Box ID labels (used to label the storage server IDs on the front of the DS4100) – Wrap plug and coupler kit Attention: The DS4100 does not ship with region-specific power cords. You must obtain the IBM-approved power cords for your region.
the DS4000 storage expansion units attached to the DS4100 storage server should be plugged into the same two independent external power circuits as the DS4100. This ensures that the DS4100 storage server and all its attached storage expansion units will have power if only one power circuit is available.
Attention: The DS4100 single-controller storage server does not support hot-swap RAID controllers or power supplies. You will lose access to data if you attempt to remove or replace a functioning (non-failed) RAID controller or power supply in a DS4100 single-controller storage server without first powering down the storage server.

Chapter 3. Cabling the storage server This chapter provides fibre channel and power cabling information for the storage server. After you attach the storage server power cables, use the instructions that are provided in “Turning the storage server on and off” on page 65 for the initial startup of the storage server. Working with SFPs and fiber-optic cables Each RAID controller has two host ports and one expansion port.
v Do not overtighten the cable straps or bend the cables to a radius of less than 38 mm (1.5 in.). v Do not put excess weight on the cable at the connection point. Be sure that the cable is well supported. Installing SFP modules The DS4100 host ports require SFP modules. SFP modules are used to convert electrical signals to optical signals that are required for fibre channel transmission to and from RAID controllers.
DANGER Some laser products contain an embedded Class 3A or Class 3B laser diode. Note the following. Laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam, do not view directly with optical instruments, and avoid direct exposure to the beam. Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details about handling static-sensitive devices, see “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 18. 1.
Removing SFP modules To remove the SFP module from the host port, perform the following steps. Attention: To avoid damage to the cable or to the SFP module, make sure you unplug the LC-LC fibre channel cable before you remove the SFP module. 1. Remove the LC-LC fibre channel cable from the SFP module. For more information, see “Handling fiber-optic cables” on page 45. 2.
1. Remove the protective cap from the fiber-optic cable. See Figure 38. Fiber-optic cable Protective cap F10ug011 Figure 38. Removing caps from fiber-optic cables 2. Connect the fiber-optic cable to the installed SFP, as shown in Figure 39. RAID controller SFP module f10ug041 Fiber-optic cable Figure 39. Connecting cables to the installed SFP 3.

Chapter 4. Operating the storage server To ensure optimal operation of your system, always follow these best practices guidelines: v Back up the data on your storage drives periodically. v DS4100 base storage server only: To maintain power redundancy, plug the storage server’s right and the left power supplies into two independent external power circuits through ac distribution units inside a rack cabinet or directly into external receptacles.
Turning on the storage server Important: DS4100 base storage server only: You must turn on the storage expansion units and verify that the storage expansion unit fibre channel connections are optimal by checking the indicator lights before you turn on the DS4100. The controllers might not recognize the correct configuration if the hard disk drives are powered up after the DS4100. For instructions on how to power up the storage expansion units, refer to the storage expansion unit documentation.
green on the front of the storage server. If they are not, use the DS4000 Storage Manager client to diagnose the problem (see “Monitoring status through software” on page 70). Note: The green drive active LED and amber drive fault LED below the drive CRUs might flash intermittently as the drives spin-up. Wait until the storage server is finished powering up before checking the LEDs on the front of the storage server. For more information, see “Checking the LEDs” on page 71.
3. Stop all I/O activity to the storage server and attached expansion units. Make sure that: v All of the green Drive active LEDs on the front of the storage server (and on all attached expansion units) are not flashing. v The green Cache active LEDs on the back of the storage server are off. Attention: To turn off all power to the storage server, you must turn off both power-supply switches and disconnect both power cords. Use the procedure in step 6 for the proper shutdown sequence. 4.
Attention: To avoid damage to the hardware, take special care when you restart the system after an unexpected shutdown. If the storage server shuts down unexpectedly, go to “Restoring power after an over-temperature shutdown.” Otherwise, go to “Restoring power after an emergency shutdown.
4. Complete step 2 on page 66 to determine the proper power-on sequence for your system. 5. When the internal temperature of the storage server is below 35° C (95° F), complete steps 3 and 4 on page 66 to turn on power to the devices in your system and to check the status of the storage server.
v Locate the failed component v Determine the recovery procedures to repair the failure Although the storage server has fault LEDs, these lights do not necessarily indicate which component has failed or needs to be replaced, or which type of recovery procedure you must perform. In some cases (such as loss of redundancy in various components), the fault LED does not turn on. Only the DS4000 Storage Manager client can detect the failure.

Chapter 5. Installing and replacing components This chapter provides instructions to help you install or remove customer replaceable units (CRUs), such as hot-swap drives, fans, RAID controllers, and power supplies. This chapter also provides instructions to help you add new DS4000 EXP100 expansion units to existing DS4100 configuration. For more CRU and Option part number information, see the following Web site: www-1.ibm.
Attention: After you remove a drive CRU, wait at least 70 seconds before replacing or reseating the drive CRU to allow the drive to properly spin down. Failure to do so may cause undesired events. Before you install or remove drive CRUs, review the following information: v Blank trays: A storage server without a full set of drives (14) contains blank trays in the unused drive bays. Before installing new drives, you must remove these empty trays. Save the empty trays for future use.
1. Read the documentation that comes with the hard disk drive. 2. Check for Fault LEDs shown in Figure 62. If any amber LEDs are lit, see Chapter 6, “Hardware maintenance,” on page 111. Activity LED Fault LED General system error LED Latch Power-on LED f10ug053 Tray handle Figure 62. Hot-swap hard disk drive LEDs 3. Determine the bay into which you want to install the drive. 4. Remove the blank tray: Note: To locate blank drives, look at the Activity LEDs on the front of the storage system.
b. Pull the handle on the tray out so that it is in the open position, as shown in Figure 63. Tray handle Tray latch f10ug049 Figure 63. Drive CRU handle c. Slide the drive CRU into the empty bay until the hinge of the tray handle latches beneath the storage server bezel. d. Push the tray handle down until it latches into place.
a. Release the latch on the drive CRU by pinching together the blue line on the tray latch and the finger hole on the tray handle, as shown by the arrow in Figure 63 on page 82. b. Pull the tray handle out into the open position. c. Lift the drive CRU partially out of the bay. d. To avoid possible damage to the drive, wait at least 70 seconds before fully removing the drive CRU from the storage server to allow the drive to stop (spin down). e.
to use the storage server (or any expansion units attached to the storage server) until you finish the procedure. You must use this method on RAID 0 logical drives. v Replacing the drives one at a time In this method, you manually fail each drive, replace it, and wait for the system to restore data to the new drive before installing the next drive. After you install the new drives, you can configure them to make the additional drive space available.
2. Use the DS4000 Storage Manager client to check the status of the storage server. Correct any problems that are reported. 3. Perform a complete backup of the drives that you are replacing. You need the backup to restore data on the drives later in this procedure. Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details about handling static-sensitive devices, see “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 79. 4. Unpack the new drives.
b. You must turn on the expansion units before the storage server. The controllers might not recognize the correct configuration if the drives are powered up after the storage server. For instructions on powering up the expansion units, see the expansion-unit documentation. c. Turn on the power to the storage server; then restart or turn on the power to the host. 9. Turn on the power to each device, based on the power-on sequence in step 8 on page 85.
Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details about handling static-sensitive devices, see “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 79. 4. Unpack the new drives. Set the drives on a dry, level surface away from magnetic fields. Save the packing material and documentation in case you need to return the drives. 5.
8. Use the DS4000 Storage Manager client to monitor the status of the new drive and the progress of the data reconstruction. Wait for data reconstruction to finish (the Drive activity LED stops flashing). Note: The Drive activity LED will continue to flash after reconstruction is finished if there is I/O activity to that drive. In that case, use the host software to determine if the data reconstruction is finished. 9.
Both fan units must always be in place, even if one is not functioning properly, to maintain proper cooling. Use the following procedure to replace a hot-swap fan: 1. Check the LEDs on the back of the storage server. 2. If the amber Fault LED is on, remove the fan CRU that has failed. a. Slide the latch to unlock the fan CRU. b. Use the handle (black knob) to pull the fan from the storage server. See Figure 65. f10ug038 Figure 65. Removing a fan 3. Install the new fan unit. a.

power to the storage server. Go to “Turning on the storage server” on page 66 and follow the procedure described there before proceeding with the following step. 9. Make sure that the green Power LED on the new power-supply CRU is on and the amber Fault LED is off. v If the Power LED is off, the power-supply CRU might not be installed correctly. Remove it and then reinstall it. v If the Fault LED is on or the Power LED stays off, test the power source to verify that the outlet is working properly.
inserted into DS4100 controller slots. Unpredictable results can occur when nonmatching controller CRUs are present in the same DS4100 chassis. v After the new controller in a DS4100 single-controller storage server completes the boot process, its WWNN will change. If you have any applications that rely on the previous WWNNs, such as fibre channel switch zoning definitions, you must update the applications with the new WWNNs.
Replacing a RAID controller When instructed to do so by the DS4000 Storage Manager client, replace a RAID controller that has failed. The procedure for replacing a failed controller is different for DS4100 single-controller and base (dual-controller) storage servers. If a controller in a DS4100 base storage server fails, you can replace the failed controller without interrupting data processing. The system will automatically update the firmware for the new controller to match the configuration database.
Note: Avoid operating the DS4100 with controllers of different cache sizes. Operating the storage server with controllers of different cache size will disable caching and might adversely affect performance. Always verify that you replace a failed controller with a controller that has the same FRU part number. To replace a RAID controller, perform the following steps: 1. DS4100 single-controller storage server only: The DS4100 single-controller storage server has only one RAID controller.
b. Unlock the SFP module latch: v For SFP modules that contain plastic tabs, unlock the SFP module latch by pulling the plastic tab outward 10°, as shown in Figure 72. Plastic tab Protective cap 10 o SFP module F10ug009 Figure 72. Unlocking the SFP module latch - plastic variety v For SFP modules that contain wire tabs, unlock the SFP module latch by pulling the wire latch outward 90°, as shown in Figure 73.

f10ug033 Figure 74. Pull-rings for removing a controller b. Grasp the pull-rings; then pull on the levers and remove the RAID controller. 7. To access the cache battery, place the RAID controller CRU bottom up on a flat surface. Using a #2 Phillips head screwdriver, remove the six screws (three on each side of the RAID controller) that hold the RAID controller bottom panel to the sides of the RAID controller, as shown in Figure 75.
Battery Harness Two-Pin Battery f10ug045 Figure 76. Removing the controller battery 10. Remove the screw that holds the battery access panel. Carefully slide the access panel toward the front to unlatch it from the three pins mounted on the RAID controller bottom panel. 11. Remove the battery unit and place it on a dry, level surface. If this is a battery replacement, then replace the old battery with the new one and go to step 19 on page 101. 12. Unpack the new RAID controller.
v Replacement Date – Copy the expiration date from the battery label on the old controller. Note: The preferred method of checking for the battery operating age is through the storage server management software. 19. Position the battery inside the replacement RAID controller. 20. Reassemble the battery access panel to the RAID controller bottom panel by aligning it with the three pins on the RAID controller bottom panel.
The startup process should complete within five minutes. After the startup process completes, the new RAID controller can accept I/Os from the host server and is ready to be managed by the DS4000 Storage Manager client. Note: If the new RAID controller is not recognized by the DS4000 Storage Manager client, use the Enterprise Management Window to rediscover the DS4100, as described in the following steps. a. Remove the entry for the DS4100 from the management domain of the DS4000 Storage Manager client. b.
Go to “Manually upgrading the firmware for the DS4100 single-controller storage server.” 28. For the DS4100 base storage server: See the DS4000 Storage Manager client online help for instructions on bringing the controller online. The RAID controller replacement procedure for the DS4100 base storage server is completed. 29.
All factory-delivered DS4100 RAID controllers are shipped with a recent version of controller firmware loaded on the RAID controller, but that firmware version might not match precisely the firmware version of the failed RAID controller you have replaced.
10. Use the SMW to download firmware to the new controller to match the version number shown in your storage subsystem profile. (Refer to your printout.) After 15-20 minutes, the SMW reports a download failure. Click OK to ignore the error warning and instructions and proceed with the following step. 11. Use the EMW to remove the RAID controller from the management domain, and again add the new controller using the IP address assigned to the new controller by the IP server. 12.
might involve clearing cache memory on the RAID controller that contains the battery that needs to be replaced. This is done by either placing the controller offline before removing it from the DS4100 server or turning off caching in the DS4100 server, using the DS4000 Storage Manager client. Follow the steps given in the software procedure before you continue with this procedure. Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity.

GBIC. See gigabit interface converter gigabit interface converter (GBIC). A transceiver that performs serial, optical-to-electrical, and electrical-to-optical signal conversions for high-speed networking. A GBIC can be hot swapped. See also small form-factor pluggable. Global Copy. Refers to a remote logical drive mirror pair that is set up using asynchronous write mode without the write consistency group option. This is also referred to as ″Asynchronous Mirroring without Consistency Group.
Internet Protocol (IP). A protocol that routes data through a network or interconnected networks. IP acts as an intermediary between the higher protocol layers and the physical network. Internet Protocol (IP) address. The unique 32-bit address that specifies the location of each device or workstation on the Internet. For example, 9.67.97.103 is an IP address. interrupt request (IRQ).
micro channel architecture (MCA). Hardware that is used for PS/2 Model 50 computers and above to provide better growth potential and performance characteristics when compared with the original personal computer design. Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS). MSCS, a feature of Windows NT Server (Enterprise Edition), supports the connection of two servers into a cluster for higher availability and easier manageability. MSCS can automatically detect and recover from server or application failures.
random-access memory (RAM). A temporary storage location in which the central processing unit (CPU) stores and executes its processes. Contrast with DASD. RDAC. See redundant disk array controller. read-only memory (ROM). Memory in which stored data cannot be changed by the user except under special conditions. recoverable virtual shared disk (RVSD). A virtual shared disk on a server node configured to provide continuous access to data and file systems in a cluster.
small computer system interface (SCSI). A standard hardware interface that enables a variety of peripheral devices to communicate with one another. small form-factor pluggable (SFP). An optical transceiver that is used to convert signals between optical fiber cables and switches. An SFP is smaller than a gigabit interface converter (GBIC). See also gigabit interface converter. SNMP. See Simple Network Management Protocol and SNMPv1. SNMP time-out.
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). A communication protocol used in the Internet and in any network that follows the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standards for internetwork protocol. TCP provides a reliable host-to-host protocol between hosts in packed-switched communication networks and in interconnected systems of such networks. It uses the Internet Protocol (IP) as the underlying protocol. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
