Workaround - To avoid having the array incorrectly initiate a volume migration process with the newly introduced replacement drives, perform one of the following tasks: ■ Verify that the volume on the Sun StorageTek 6140 Array with the failed disk drives has not been deleted. You should leave the volume in a failed state and not delete the volume. ■ Verify that the disk drives being taken from the inactive Sun StorageTek 6140 Array are not part of an active volume.
To connect from a portable PC without a serial port, you will need to purchase a USB to serial adapter, available from most computer stores. When Performing an Array Import, Do Not Modify Management Objects If you create management objects while an “import array” job is running, it might interfere with the import. Be sure that everyone who uses the destination array does not modify or create any objects (including volumes, initiators, mappings, and so on) while the import is in progress.

34 Sun StorageTek 6140 Array Release Notes • November 2008
CHAPTER A Disk Drive Insertion This appendix describes how to properly insert a disk drive into a controller or expansion tray. Drives are inserted with the power on, unless specifically instructed not to by Sun technical support. The correct way to insert a disk drive into the tray is as follows: 1. Lift the drive handle up to open it. 2. Push the disk drive into the chassis by slowly pushing against the drive housing until the drive handle engages with the chassis. 3.
FIGURE A-1 Inserting a Disk Drive. When the drive is completely installed, the drive and handle will be flush with the others, as shown in FIGURE A-2.
FIGURE A-2 Successfully Inserted Disk Drive Caution – Do not insert a disk drive into a tray by pushing on its housing until it is all the way in. This can cause the handle to be stuck in the “up” position so it is unable to close. FIGURE A-3 shows the wrong way to insert the drive.
FIGURE A-3 38 Incorrect Way to Insert Disk Drive Sun StorageTek 6140 Array Release Notes • November 2008
CHAPTER B Using DC Power This appendix describes using the DC Power Unit for the Sun StorageTek 6140 array in the following sections: ■ “DC Power Overview” on page 39 ■ “Site Preparation for DC Power” on page 41 ■ ■ “Site Wiring and Power” on page 41 ■ “DC Power Input” on page 42 ■ “DC Power Connector Cables and Source Wires” on page 43 “Installation Notes for DC Power” on page 43 ■ “Ship Kit Changes” on page 44 ■ “DC Power LEDS” on page 44 ■ “DC Power Caution When Link Rate Switching” on
Caution – A qualified service person is required to make the DC power connection per NEC and CEC guidelines. A two-pole 20-amp circuit breaker is required between the DC power source and the array module for over-current and shortcircuit protection. Before turning off any power switches on a DC-powered module, you must disconnect the two-pole 20-amp circuit breaker. Caution – Electrical grounding hazard – This equipment is designed to permit the connection of the D.C.
FIGURE B-2 DC Power Connector Cable and Source Wires 1. Supply (Negative), Brown Wire, –48 VDC 2. Return (Positive), Blue Wire 3. Ground, Green/Yellow Wire 4.
Note – Power for the optional –48-VDC power configuration is supplied by a centralized DC power plant instead of the AC power source in the cabinet. Refer to the associated manufacturer’s documentation for specific DC power source requirements. Consider the following information when preparing the array’s installation site: ■ Protective ground – Site wiring must include a protective ground connection to the AC power source or the optional –48-VDC power source.
DC Power Connector Cables and Source Wires The Sun StorageTek 6140 array is shipped with –48-VDC power connector cables if the DC power option is ordered. The power connector cable plugs into the DC power connector on the back of the array (Figure 6-3 on page 6-3). The three source wires on the other end of the power connector cable connect the array to centralized DC power plant equipment, typically through a bus bar above the cabinet.
Ship Kit Changes If the DC power option is ordered, two DC power connector cables are provided with each controller tray for connection to centralized DC power plant equipment. Two additional DC power connector cables should be ordered if additional redundancy is required. Caution – A qualified service person is required to make the DC power connection per NEC and CEC guidelines.
Connecting Power Cables To use the DC power option (–48-VDC) to power the array module, review the following points. ■ Ensure that you use a separate power source for each optional DC power connector on the array module. Connecting to independent power sources maintains power redundancy. ■ It is not mandatory that the second DC power connection on each of the array module’s DC power-fan CRUs be connected.
Note – It is not mandatory that the second DC power connection on each of the array module’s DC power-fan CRUs be connected. The second DC power connection is for additional redundancy only and may be connected to a second DC power bus. 4. A qualified service person is required to make the DC power connection per NEC and CEC guidelines. A two-pole 20-amp circuit breaker is required between the DC power source and DC-powered modules for over-current and short-circuit protection.
Caution – Potential data loss – Moving a array or array components that are configured as part of a volume group can result in data loss. To prevent data loss, always consult a Customer Support representative before relocating configured drives, controller trays or expansion trays. Note – Trays in arrays can be connected to the DC power supply (–48 VDC). Before turning off any power switches on a DC-powered tray, you must disconnect the twopole 20-amp circuit breaker.
