CHAPTER 2 Installation and Service This chapter contains the procedures for installing and removing the Netra CP32x0 SAS Storage Advanced Rear Transition Module HD (ARTM-HD). This chapter contains the following sections: ■ Section 2.1, “About Installing and Removing the ARTM-HD” on page 2-2 ■ Section 2.2, “Installing the ARTM-HD” on page 2-4 ■ Section 2.3, “Removing the ARTM-HD” on page 2-9 ■ Section 2.4, “Installing a Hard Disk Drive” on page 2-11 ■ Section 2.
2.1 About Installing and Removing the ARTM-HD The ARTM-HD can be installed into an ATCA shelf (chassis) with a midplane made for front and rear board installations (FIGURE 2-1). The module must be installed in the slot directly behind the Netra ATCA node board. These back-to-back slots have common pins to enable passing of signals. Note – Connectors on previous blade servers do not mate with connectors on the ARTM-HD.
FIGURE 2-1 Installing the Blade Server and ARTM-HD Into the ATCA Shelf Chapter 2 Installation and Service 2-3
2.2 Installing the ARTM-HD The ARTM-HD must be used with a Netra ATCA node board for rear I/O access. The ARTM-HD enables access to the network, to a boot device, and to a console terminal. Note – The ARTM-HD and the corresponding Netra blade server can be installed while the shelf is powered—however, start with a powered shelf only if you must do so. Note – Optimally, install the ARTM-HD before installing the corresponding Netra blade server. This order ensures proper bring up of the ARTM-HD firmware.
FIGURE 2-2 Injector/Ejector Latch and Locking Screw retention screw injector/ejector latch 5. Hold the bottom disk cage with one hand and top injector/ejector latch with the other hand, as shown in FIGURE 2-3. Note – The following steps apply regardless of how many ARTMs are in the chassis, as long as there is an available slot for the ARTM you are installing.
FIGURE 2-3 Holding the ARTM-HD During Installation 6. Carefully align the top and bottom edges of the module with the guides in the appropriate slot. It might be helpful to look into the enclosure to verify correct alignment of the rails in the guides.
7. Taking care to keep the module aligned in the guides, carefully insert the module by simultaneously pressing the bottom disk cage and top injector/ejector latch, which is extended fully open. FIGURE 2-4 Inserting the ARTM-HD 8. Slide the module in as far as possible and while maintaining pressure on the bottom disk cage, rotate the injector/ejector latch inward to its closed position to fully seat the module in the slot.
9. Tighten the module retention screws to ensure that the module is secured into the shelf. If the module is inserted properly, the hotswap switch is activated. The blue Hot-swap LED will blink, then the green OK LED lights. 10. Install the blade server into the front of the shelf (FIGURE 2-1) and push the board toward the midplane. Ensure that it is seated properly and that the connectors make good contact with the ARTM-HD.
2.3 Removing the ARTM-HD Caution – Power to the ARTM-HD must be off before the module can be safely removed. Removing the ARTM-HD without properly removing power can cause data loss on hard disk drives installed in the ARTM-HD. 1. Shut down any operating system accessing the ARTM-HD or its companion board. 2. Power off the ARTM-HD from the shelf manager.
FIGURE 2-5 Removing the ARTM-HD 6. If the slot is to remain empty, install a filler panel in the slot. 7. Reinstall the blade server, if necessary.
2.4 Installing a Hard Disk Drive 1. Open the HD latch by pressing the button on the face of the drive. 2. Insert the drive into the appropriate drive bay until the latch closes and the drive fully engages with the connectors. 2.5 Removing a Hard Disk Drive 1. Unmount any file systems using the HD. 2. Locate the drive to be replaced. If a drive is faulty, the amber fault LED will light. 3. Press the button on the face of the HD to release the latch. The latch springs open. 4.
2.6 Changing the OOS LED Color The color of the Out-of-service (OOS) LED can be set to red or amber by moving jumper JU1 to the appropriate position. Setting the jumper to the P1/P2 position makes the OOS LED appear red. Setting the jumper to the P2/P3 position makes the OOS LED appear amber. Amber (position P2/P3) is the default setting for the OOS LED. 1. Remove the ARTM-HD from the chassis. See Section 2.3, “Removing the ARTM-HD” on page 2-9. 2. Locate jumper JU1 on the board.

CHAPTER 3 Disk Management This chapter describes the disk management and BIOS configuration software. This chapter contains the following sections: ■ Section 3.1, “RAID Support” on page 3-2 ■ Section 3.2, “SAS BIOS Overview” on page 3-2 ■ Section 3.3, “Starting the SAS BIOS Configuration Utility” on page 3-3 ■ Section 3.4, “Creating a RAID 0 Volume” on page 3-4 ■ Section 3.5, “Creating a RAID 1 Volume” on page 3-5 ■ Section 3.6, “Creating a RAID 1E Volume” on page 3-6 ■ Section 3.
3.1 RAID Support The LSISAS1068e controller supports the Integrated RAID hardware solution, which is a highly integrated, low-cost RAID solution. It is designed for systems requiring redundancy and high availability, but not requiring a full-featured RAID implementation. Integrated RAID includes Integrated Mirroring (IM or RAID 1), Integrated Mirroring Extended (IME), and Integrated Striping (IS or RAID 0) technology.
3.3 Starting the SAS BIOS Configuration Utility If you have SAS BIOS version 6.x.x with the Fusion-MPT SAS BIOS Configuration Utility, you can change the default configuration of the SAS host adapters. You may decide to change these default values if there is a conflict between device settings or if you need to optimize system performance. The version number of the SAS BIOS appears in a banner displayed on the computer monitor during bootup.
3.4 Creating a RAID 0 Volume A RAID 0 volume, also referred to as Integrated Striping (IS), offers the ability to stripe data across multiple hard disks. This can increase storage capacity and performance by combining multiple disks into one logical volume. Note – Use RAID 0 with caution. The only advantage of RAID 0 is to improve the overall disk performance by striping data over several disk drives.
Note – Once the number of disks in a RAID volume is set, it cannot be changed. 5. When the volume has been fully configured, press C and select Save Changes, then exit this menu to commit the changes. The Configuration Utility will pause while the array is being created. 3.5 Creating a RAID 1 Volume A RAID 1 volume, also referred to as Integrated Mirroring (IM), offers the ability to mirror data from one hard disk onto another one.
7. When the volume has been fully configured, press C and select Save Changes, then exit this menu to commit the changes. The Configuration Utility will pause while the array is being created. Note – RAID 1 provides protection against the failure of a single disk. When a disk fails, it is rebuilt to a hot spare if one is available. This can greatly increase the level of protection that RAID 1 provides. Note – Even though multiple volumes can be created, the hot spare is a global hot spare.
As disks are added the Array Size field will change to reflect the size of the new volume. There are several limitations when creating a RAID 1E volume: ■ All disks must be SAS (with SMART support). ■ Disks must have 512-byte blocks and must not have removable media. ■ There must be three drives in a valid volume. 6. (Optional) Add a hot spare to the volume by moving the cursor to the Hot Spare column and pressing the + key, - key, or space bar. 7.
3.8 Synchronizing an Array Synchronizing an array means that the firmware synchronizes the data on the secondary disk(s) with the data on the primary disk of the mirror. Follow these steps to start a synchronization for a RAID 1 volume. 1. Select Synchronize Array. 2. Press Y to start the synchronization, or N to cancel it. Note – If the server is rebooted before the volume synchronization is completed, the resync resumes when the server boots. 3.
3.10 Deleting an Array Caution – Before deleting an array, back up all data on the array that you want to keep. Follow these steps to delete a selected array. 1. Select Delete Array. 2. Press Y to delete the array, or press N to abandon the deletion. After a pause, the firmware deletes the array. Note – Once a volume has been deleted, it cannot be recovered. When a RAID 1 volume is deleted, the data is preserved on the primary disk. The master boot records (MBR) of other disks in the array are deleted.
