Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Configuration 2-9
Note – When you issue a sysWipe command you might see a message indicating
that sysWipe is being done in a background process. Wait for a message indicating
that sysWipe is complete before issuing a sysReboot command. Once the
configuration is reset and the previous DacStore is cleaned up, the drive status
should come up Optimal as long as the drive has no internal problem. sysWipe
should be run from each controller.
Note – An A3000 RAID system cannot be converted to an A3500 RAID system by
swapping disk trays because the controller NVSRAM is different. The A3x00
requires an entire controller module upgrade. Also, D1000 trays are not supported in
the A3000 56” cabinet. You will need to upgrade the cabinet.
2.5 Sun StorEdge A3500/A3500FC Lite
This package includes two rackmountable Sun StorEdge D1000s, a RAID module,
and parts necessary to connect to a host server.
Refer to the Sun StorEdge A3500/A3500FC Hardware Configuration Guide for cabling
instructions. Be sure the RAID controller is connected to power cords from
sequenced switch group 2.

Note – Since two drive channels share a disk tray in this configuration, it is
recommended for a RAID 1 LUN configuration to mirror between two drive trays. If
you lose one D1000 disk tray, you will lose two drive channels.
The A3500/A3500FC Lite disk trays were previously available with 9-GB disk
drives. Starting September 2000 only 18-GB disk drives will be available for
purchase.
